It's certainly impressive. I would like to know if it could search multiple airlines directly to find the best price and best route based on my personal preferences. For example, I don't like earlier flights unless it is ~60% cheaper. And if it can handle check-in for me so I don't have to be logging in 24 hours before, and if I am offered an upgrade, it could automatically purchase.

My partner books a lot of executive travel and honestly there’s no way AI Agents are solving this except for a very specific type of high income individual who has read too much about decision fatigue.

There are dozens of factors to consider, and everyone weights them all differently. Even humans aren’t great at this, and it’s not an intelligence problem that “AGI” can solve.

Kayak.com gets you part of the way there (eg. constrain by takeoff/landing time, filter out MAX planes, etc).

Not for business/exec travel it doesn't. Travel agents still exist and are insanely valuable.
