Use case overview

Debbie O'Brien had Grok Bot try to book flights; it came close but missed the last step, so the booking wasn't completed.

Reported experience

  1. What they did

    Debbie O'Brien asked a Grok Bot to act as her travel agent and try to book her flights. She recorded a video walking through what she did to get it to attempt the booking. The post gives no detail on the steps the bot took. It only says what worked and what didn't is in the video.

  2. How it went

    She calls it the closest she has seen to a great experience, but it was missing the final step, so the booking wasn't completed. The post gives no specifics on the failure.

  3. Worth knowing

    The post is a brief write-up. The mechanics and the exact point of failure are only in the video, so watch that before copying the approach.
