Quoting @XFreeze: Grok @bot booked a flight for me today
the entire process was really really easy…..I send a photo of my credit card and it did the entire process….
Tbh, last time I booked, the website was way too confusing…. It’s not an easy website, and Grok Bot did perfectly well and booked a flight for me…. And I got a message for a booking confirmation….going to board it soon
