Resy blocks AI booking apps as SF floods restaurants with reservation agents
ivan_bezdomny · x · 2026-09-15
A thread of AI-circle banter captures an ironic reality: while everyone in San Francisco talks about AGI, one of the hottest real uses is agents booking sushi reservations.
- Booking agents like Instinct were used so heavily that Resy blocked the app from scraping and spamming the platform.
- Workarounds being discussed: switching to computer use to control the web UI, or having voice agents call restaurants directly.
- The poster admits the thread is 'semi ironic,' but it highlights the real tension between agent use cases and platforms' anti-scraping defenses.
