Wouldn’t ChatGPT and similar be a perfect use case for parsing those emails and outputting in whatever format you’d like?

Will ChatGPT input form data into websites? Your idea is good for "turn this ticket info into a .ics file" (I imagine) but might not work for "add this ticket info to this proprietary website's internal calendar".

I assume the point is not to have chatGPT actually perform the input.

Instead, it can be used to take various formats and output a common structured format that a program can then use to do the rest

Correct. From the user's point of view, forward the email confirmation and have it added to your itinerary. Internally, it could use ChatGPT or anything else to parse it and call the import API.

I tried this, but Bing Copilot hallucinated download links for the ICS files for me. When it was doing the gimmicky animated typing it was typing some Markdown-esque URL, but when it finished the line it ended up with just the link title with nothing clickable...

GPT? Probably not. But there are AI products out there that can be trained to do that kind of grunt work with text that has semi-regular features to it. Amazon Textract is one such tool.

Emails don't need OCR and are usually html with attachments, not structured pdfs.

If you want to process contracts or business letters... Then yes, that'd be a good choice.
