ChatGPT Dot booked furniture assembly in 30 minutes
Cameron, in New York City, asked his Dot to find someone to assemble furniture. It found a local business charging $40 to $80 and booked someone who could come within 30 minutes. He noticed his Dot was messaging back and forth with the business's own AI agent the whole time, because the owner runs his site and customer service with AI tools. Agent-to-agent booking is starting to happen for small local jobs, which makes it more important to check the price and the person before they show up.
Copy this prompt
Find someone to assemble [ITEM, e.g. a bed frame and a dresser from IKEA] at my place in [NEIGHBORHOOD / ZIP] [TODAY / DATE]. Compare at least three local options with prices, reviews and earliest arrival time. Ask each one for a total price for my items, not an hourly rate. Show me the options before you book, and don't pay a deposit without asking me. Send me the name, the confirmed price and the arrival window.
Our own prompt, written from what the source describes. We haven't run it ourselves. Text in [BRACKETS] is what you replace.
Watch out for
- Get the total price in writing before they come, and ask what happens if a job takes longer.
- Check reviews on a site the business doesn't control.
- Don't pay the full amount up front for a small job like this.
