Use case overview

A CNET reporter had ChatGPT's agent research stylists and request booking details, but stopped it before it booked.

Reported experience

  1. What they did

    The reporter used a paid ChatGPT account, switched on Agent mode, and asked for a balayage hairdresser in Montclair NJ or NYC with a price cap. She watched the agent browse live and added a correction mid-run. She then had it sort options by price and rank stylists at one salon. It offered to book, but she held back.

  2. How it went

    The search took 9 minutes and returned prices with notes and source screenshots. She was impressed, but she wouldn't hand over sensitive details and would take over at booking.

  3. Worth knowing

    The agent pauses for payment details and wants your confirmation before submitting. The reporter still wouldn't give it personal details, and it's in beta.

Example prompts

Try with ChatGPT Agent
Research hair stylists near [neighborhood or city] who specialize in [service, e.g. balayage, curly cuts] and have strong reviews and prices under [budget]. Shortlist three with their rates, availability and booking links, and find out what details each needs to book. Do not book anything or submit any forms; stop with the shortlist and a draft of what you would enter.
