i have not tried it since i’m too scared to try, but i know Codex recently came out with a feature where it can control your chrome browser. Not spin up a chrome browser, but control your open browser tabs.

Presumably you might be able to task it with planning an itinerary with specific dates and bookings in mind, and then ask it to complete the task…sort of. The big gotcha i think is payments. Obviously you wouldn’t want to enter your credit card details into an llm lol. perhaps it would be ok if you had a saved card on file with your favorite airline, etc? Or maybe chrome has a feature to autofill a credit card for quick entry? Not sure.

Still…it’s a messy unsolved problem and we’re definitely not there. I wonder how this tech will look in 10 years from now?
