Agent books near-impossible Goa cardiology appointment through broken government portal

A user shares how the Instinct agent booked her father a cardiology appointment at Goa Medical College — a slot that normally requires showing up at 5 AM or even camping overnight due to a badly broken booking portal.
Screenshots show the agent coordinating over iMessage: requesting the OTP, asking for the payment link, logging into the GMC portal, confirming an existing profile (no registration fee), and grabbing Dr. Prabhudessai's earliest slot.
Her prediction: the next phone revolution will be "no apps, just agents" — agents that can operate poorly designed official systems on your behalf.
