Meta Muse checks Vegas flight prices each day

Alex Willen wanted to book a flight to Las Vegas the following year, but prices looked high. He gave Meta Muse a narrow task: check the exact JSX flight he planned to take and tell him if its price changed. That was a good fit for a recurring agent task because the same result could be checked again later without Willen reopening the booking site each day.

Muse navigated the airline site, found the right flight and price, then set up a daily task to check it and notify him when the price changed. Willen reports that this part worked. The source does not say that he bought the ticket or that the price later fell, so this is a successful price-monitor setup rather than a claim of savings.

He also tested a more open-ended return search from Las Vegas to San Diego. Muse offered three carriers, but it did not know that Willen strongly preferred to avoid Frontier, and its first suggestions did not account for his Amex points. He asked it to search award availability through British Airways; the site interaction stalled at a CAPTCHA and later errors. Willen ultimately checked availability himself and found none. The account shows both a useful narrow monitor and the preference context and booking-site obstacles that still needed human judgment.
