Research and help rebook a flight with an always-on agent
An Every writer's Dot researched a flight change and flagged a clash with a colleague's recording, learned from a Slack discussion.
- What They Did
- Dan Shipper wanted to change a flight out of San Francisco and used his Dot, OpenAI's proactive always-on agent, to help with the booking. The Dot researched flight options. It also drew on a Slack discussion he hadn't seen, which contained a proposed recording schedule.
- How It Went
- The Dot warned that the flight might overlap with Randy Counsman's Wednesday morning video recording. That recording wasn't on Shipper's calendar. The rest of the article is paywalled, so the booking outcome isn't visible.
- Worth Knowing
- The agent caught the clash because it could read Slack, not because the event was on a calendar. Check what access your agent has.

I need to change my flight from [origin] to [destination] on [date]. Research the best alternative flights for [new date/time window] and check them against my calendar and anything in [Slack channel] that might clash, like [meeting or recording]. Give me a short comparison with any conflicts flagged, and pause for my approval before booking, paying, or contacting the airline.
