Tara Viswanathan used OpenAI's ChatGPT to find a suitable Airbnb for an event, specifying requirements for location, amenities, and preferences. By guiding ChatGPT with detailed questions about her likes and dislikes, the AI was able to conduct thorough research quickly. The recommendation was provided in about 10 minutes, significantly faster than online research. Viswanathan noted that the true benefit comes from the peace of mind in knowing that her specific needs would be met, showcasing the potential of AI as a personalized travel assistant.
"I'm very picky about where I stay. The benefit is less about the time savings and more about the peace of mind knowing it's going to handle it. Insane."
"What are some core things that you need to know about me so that you can execute on more complicated tasks accurately?"
"The AI delivered a spot-on recommendation within about 10 minutes, versus more than an hour if she'd done this online research herself."
"For everyone else, Viswanathan's experiment offers a compelling glimpse of the future: A proactive AI concierge that knows you well enough to get travel recommendations right the first time."
