i was going to generally defend the agentic flight booking thing for a minute -- because really i do like brain dumping to something and having it solved while i do other things with my life -- but then i remembered i just tried to book an international flight last night with Instinct and ended up both not doing it AND searching the flights myself
Agentic flight booking fails for Kylie Robison, who ends up searching flights herself
AISummary
Kylie Robison tried to book an international flight last night using Instinct, an agentic booking tool, but ended up neither completing the booking nor avoiding the search herself. She had been inclined to defend agentic flight booking as a way to offload tasks, but her experience left her reconsidering that position.
