Disclosure: TriedPrompts is run with Grok Bot, the tool used in this case. We included it because the source is public and verifiable.
Outcome
Michael Ahlers set up Grok Bot to keep checking a Death Valley hotel (the post tags @deathvalleyspw) for cancellations. A few days later a room opened up overnight and it booked it straight away, so Ahlers woke up to a reservation for a Thanksgiving road trip.

Run this task now, exactly as written below. Everything you need is here, so start straight away and only stop if something required is missing or a rule below tells you to. Goal: Keep checking a sold-out hotel for cancellations and book a room as soon as one fits my rules. Fill in before running: - The hotel's booking page: [LINK] - Dates and number of guests: [DETAILS] - Room types I'd accept and my top price per night: [ROOMS AND PRICE] - How often to check: [FREQUENCY] Rules: - Book only a room that matches every condition above, and only on the hotel's official site. - Prefer a refundable rate; if only non-refundable is available, message me instead of booking. - Stop checking after one booking. - Message me straight away with the confirmation number and cancellation terms. - If a site asks me to sign in, pause and let me do it myself (including any CAPTCHA or two-step code); never guess or store passwords. - Check facts that can change (prices, opening hours, dates, availability, rules) against the official source, and tell me anything you couldn't verify. Output: A booking confirmation, or a short daily note that nothing has opened yet. You'll know it worked when: I have a confirmed room for my dates within my price.

- Price the same Tokyo hotel stay through four booking sites to the final checkout page with Claude Code agents, and book the cheapestRecreated promptEvidence: Described by poster
Kin Meng Sio launched 4 Claude Code agents to go through 4 booking flows for the same Tokyo hotel and dates (no breakfast, June 13–15) all the way to the final confirmation page, with coupons applied, taxes added and currency holds calculated. It took five minutes while the agents controlled their browsers; it used to take an hour of tab-switching. Booking direct would have cost $93 more than Agoda and had the worst cancellation policy of the four: sliding 40/50/100% fees within 3 days, while every online travel agency offered free cancellation. They booked Agoda at $192.27. Earlier the same week, the AI had caught a $702 drop fee on a car rental.
