Find a cheaper Rome flight and hotel combination
A user had a browser agent compare round-trip flights to Rome and mid-range hotels under a budget; it found booking separately was cheaper than a package.

What they did
The user had GPT draft a prompt, then gave that prompt to MuleRun’s browser agent to find a September round-trip flight to Rome plus a mid-range city-center hotel for five nights under $1,500, with taxes and fees included. The agent compared flights and hotels across six platforms, filtered hidden fees, checked refund policies, organized the best three options, and surfaced that booking a direct flight and hotel separately beat package deals; the person then chose and booked one option.
How it went
It found a direct flight plus boutique hotel for $1,280 total versus a package the user almost booked for $1,780, a claimed $500 savings. The post does not say which sites were searched or how reliable the result was beyond this one trip.
Worth knowing
The key catch is that the user did not use the browser agent alone; they first asked GPT to write the shopping prompt for it.
