Next, ask it to book the flights. I just had Cowork book 3 flights for me and it worked surprisingly well
Tweet analysis shows enthusiasm for Claude Cowork's seamless phone-to-desktop workflow producing complete flight-ticket reports. Support 52.78%, confront 23.61%.
Claude Cowork is mind-blowing. I still cannot believe you can do this on your phone and then come back to your computer to a complete report on the best plane tickets to buy. I wonder where we'll be by the end of the year. https://t.co/trfL9Cc1j7
Real-time analysis of public opinion and engagement
What the community is saying — both sides
turns AI from a transient tool into a persistent "coworker" that keeps context across devices and sessions.
is the next UX: AI monitors calendar/email/Slack and begins research before you ask, shifting interaction from queries to ambient assistance.
scheduling across live sources with multiple constraints (meeting times, layovers, hotel distance, budget)—is where agents prove real value, not simple demos like booking a cheap flight.
make agents practical for real workflows: research, analysis and deliverables arrive in one session (examples: taxes, financial models, refunds).
agents running tasks while you’re away reduce operational friction, enable 24/7 work, and lower startup burn rates.
rapid baseline improvements mean "wow" becomes expected; teams that recalibrate product and expectations on shorter cycles gain a competitive edge.
is rare but crucial—mobile support plus seamless handoff (not just "vibes") is what moves agent UX from gimmick to utility.
several replies say Gemini/mobile/web and regular LLMs have been able to do this for ages — it’s not a Cowork-exclusive capability.
users point out that two Google tabs or Expedia will find flights or cars quicker than an agent-demo, so this isn’t inherently time-saving.
people ask what Cowork actually adds beyond loading documents into chat and creating files — critics want a clear, novel feature.
commenters worry about prompt-injection or corrupted content in generated reports and say they won’t trust an agent for critical tasks like booking flights without seeing everything line-by-line.
several replies dismiss “mind-blowing” rhetoric, arguing the industry is shipping incremental changes too fast and some see lavish claims as overblown or worrying given huge capex.
critics note demos ignore user-specific constraints (eg. local airports and time windows), so examples must reflect actual user situations to be convincing.

This is not cowork exclusive and could have been done with any LLM you open the chat and load your documents in the convo
is this satire? it would probably take less time to just bring up the fights on your phone?
gemini app for mobiile/web has been able to do this for pretty much forever i have also used gemini to find a vehicle with my exact specifications and within a particular distance from where I live…which saved a ton of time scouring different websites
Agree! I am also curious to how far we will have come until end of this year. Already the change from last summer is awesome.
Yeah, doing this from bed or on a drive has been pretty wild
