Stranded at SFO, traveler has AI agent build an app that caught the first nationwide takeoff
patricksrail · x · 2026-11-14
During a nationwide flight stoppage, a traveler stuck at SFO had his AI agent build an app that cycled through news and all flight departures nationwide, alerting him the moment anything took off again.
Minutes later it flagged a flight (LH423) that left 5 minutes prior, and the agent verified the plane was actually airborne. A neat showcase of assembling 'monitor everything + verify in real time' into a personal automation tool with an agent, solving a concrete problem on the spot.
