    I always think it’s funny how the example tech companies ALWAYS use when describing how their products make your life easier is “booking a flight”. The only folks for whom this makes it easier are folks for who the price does not matter.

      Well if it automatically searches for the best deal, wouldn’t that make life easier? Though there are already websites for that too.

        What’s the best deal? A direct flight redeye? Or a daytime ticket with two layovers for $20 less? A $100 cheaper flight that gets in the night before to a city where hotels average $200?

        And if you’re thinking the LLM could just produce some options that might work before letting the user decide, well, that is what Google Flights already does.
