Find a cheaper Rome flight and hotel combination
According to the write-up, someone had GPT draft a prompt, then gave that prompt to MuleRun’s browser agent to find a September round-trip flight to Rome plus a mid-range city-center hotel for five nights under $1,500, with taxes and fees included. The agent compared flights and hotels across six platforms, filtered hidden fees, checked refund policies, organized the best three options, and surfaced that booking a direct flight and hotel separately beat package deals; the person then chose and booked one option. It located a direct flight plus boutique hotel for $1,280 total versus a package Someone almost booked for $1,780, a claimed $500 savings.
