Real-World Test TikToker Books Flight in Seconds

TikTok user Adam Stewart, known for his content on AI and automation to over 105,000 followers, showcased this AI agent in a popular video post. Stewart demonstrated Operator's capabilities by searching for a flight to Hong Kong for five passengers.

He provided a simple two-sentence prompt: "I am trying to book a flight to Hong Kong for five people on the 7th of April, try to find me a direct flight. I want it to be a daytime flight as I don't sleep well on planes and make sure baggage is included."

Operator then asked clarifying questions: “How many passengers?” and “Morning or afternoon?” before swiftly filtering results for morning and afternoon departures from Melbourne.

Stewart commented on the results, “Now we have got some options. Cathay, very nice.” The system bypassed login pages and presented a flight matching his criteria. “Now it found us a flight, this is perfect, it includes check-in,” he added. Booking was then a simple one-click confirmation, followed by entering passenger details. Stewart also noted the option to disable background notifications for a cleaner experience.

Understanding ChatGPT The Power Behind the Tool

ChatGPT is a new artificial intelligence tool.

ChatGPT, launched in November 2022 by San Francisco-based OpenAI, is a sophisticated language model. It's part of a new generation of AI systems capable of producing text, conversing, generating readable content on demand, and even creating images and videos based on its extensive training data. GPT, standing for Generative Pre-Trained Transformer, describes its ability to create AI-generated content from prompts. While powerful, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman noted in 2022 that “ChatGPT is incredibly limited, but good enough at some things to create a misleading impression of greatness,” reminding users that it may not always be accurate.

The Future of AI in Travel Planning

ChatGPT and its competitors, like Claude, are increasingly becoming indispensable travel tools. Travelers can request flight suggestions based on season, date, and price range. AI can also identify low-cost airline options, uncover hidden flight tricks, and plan complex multi-city itineraries by finding the most economical routes. If an initial result isn't perfect, providing more detailed prompts allows ChatGPT to refine its search and try again, making personalized travel planning more accessible than ever.
