Agent flight booking fails again: blogger ends up searching flights herself
kyliebytes · x · 2026-10-02
Blogger kyliebytes shares a mixed take on agentic experiences: she likes using agents for email and calendar triage, but when she tried booking an international flight with Instinct, the agent failed to complete it and she ended up searching flights manually. She also speculates that only Meta, with its long history of deep user tracking, might truly nail understanding purchase intent. Bottom line: agentic flight booking still isn't there.
