Flight Cancelled at 7am, Grok Bot Lands a Same-Day United Seat 15 Minutes Before Boarding

Zach Koehane's Delta flight to SFO was cancelled with no replacement until the next day; he tried Grok's bot for the first time.
The bot searched in parallel — JetBlue and United nonstops vanished while it checked, one-stop options disappeared too — but it found a same-morning United routing via ORD and asked if he was ready to rush to Logan. He boarded 15 minutes before doors closed. Notably, the bot parallel-processed securing the reservation while prompting him to enter his card in a secure form, an efficiency he found impressive.
