Dots asks about every CAPTCHA, even after you say always
The poster asked ChatGPT's Dots to fetch flight fares. The site returned an error and then a human verification check. Dots asked whether it could complete the check and offered to handle similar CAPTCHAs on its own in future. He said yes, always. Dots then told him the permanent rule wasn't saved, because the system needs approval for each CAPTCHA unless it was agreed in advance for that task.
The lesson: Give CAPTCHA permission at the start of each task. A standing "always" rule may not save.
Copy this prompt
Check fares from [FROM] to [TO] for [DATES] on [SITES]. If you hit a human verification check during this task, you have my OK to complete it. Don't book or pay for anything. When you're done, give me the three cheapest options with the airline, the times and a link.
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
- A search that keeps hitting verification checks may be blocked for a reason. Don't let an agent keep trying the same site all day.
- Fares change quickly. Check the price on the airline's own site before you buy.

Track flight prices and get told when they drop
You know where and when you want to fly. An agent can watch prices and tell you when it's a good time to book.
