Plan the Trip in One Ask
Describe the trip; Claude researches options, drafts an itinerary against your calendar and policy, and teees up the bookings for your sign-off.
Travel planning is the classic many-tabs, many-steps chore — exactly the shape of task an agent is good at, with you keeping the final say.
The wow
“I need to be in Manchester for the Thursday 2pm, back by Friday evening, under our travel policy.” → Claude checks your calendar, proposes train/flight + hotel options with trade-offs, drafts the itinerary, and lines up the bookings for you to confirm.
How to build it
- Use Calendar for constraints and Claude in Chrome to research and pre-fill bookings.
- Keep your travel policy + preferences in a connected doc (class, budget, loyalty numbers).
- Run it supervised — Claude assembles, you approve each booking.
Diligence
- Bookings spend money — you confirm every purchase. Claude gets you to the checkout, no further.
- Keep payment details out of the agent’s reach; enter them yourself.
Why it’s transformational
It compresses an hour of fiddly comparison into a reviewed plan — a clear, safe example of delegation with a human gate on anything irreversible.
