Watching a Personal Agent 'gob' Book Japan Train Tickets End-to-End in a Cloud Browser
gabrielchua · x · 2026-10-12
Gabriel Chua showed off his personal agent "gob" booking train tickets for his Japan trip: via a cloud browser, the agent navigated the TOBU railway ticketing site, accepted ticket terms, selected seats (two adults, carriage 3, seats 12C/12D), and reported costs — ¥3,700 for outbound reserved-seat supplements, ¥13,000 expected total for both directions — pausing for human approval before payment.
Screenshots show the agent completing checkout, identity verification and the final "Thank you for your purchase" screen. A real-world example of human-approved, agent-executed purchasing.
