Overview
A user had Muse use unused Southwest credits to book a flight, watch for better seats, handle OpenTable reservations and keep a trip dashboard for a visiting friend.
Workflow
Suggested implementation: A screen reader user instructs Meta Muse via WhatsApp to book a Nashville flight using existing Southwest credits. The agent locates the credits, completes the booking without requiring manual confirmation number entry, and monitors for better seats every 30 minutes. The user retains control over whether seat changes are automatic or require approval.
Reported result
Actual outcomes are unknown as the source returned a 403 error and no execution logs are available. Proposed acceptance check: Verify that the agent successfully retrieves credit balances and generates a valid booking confirmation within the user's specified constraints.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Prerequisites include active Southwest loyalty account access and valid unused credits. Operating costs may escalate quickly; one report suggests heavy usage can exhaust free tiers within six days, necessitating a paid plan. Integration uncertainty exists regarding real-time seat availability APIs and automatic seat change permissions.
Try it
Act as a travel assistant agent. I will provide my Southwest loyalty account details, current credit balance, and desired flight parameters (destination: Nashville, dates: [replaceable dates]). First, perform a dry run: search for available flights using my credits and present the options without booking. Wait for my explicit confirmation. Once confirmed, execute the booking and set up a monitoring task to check for better seat availability every 30 minutes. If a better seat is found, ask me before changing it. Output the final booking confirmation number and seat assignment. If credits are insufficient or the API fails, report the error immediately and do not attempt alternative payment methods without my instruction.
