Overview
i almost walked away from a $1,200 flight refund.
Workflow
The user delegated a stalled $1,200 flight refund dispute to the 'Instinct' agent after two months of ineffective support interactions. The agent executed a persistent workflow including automated follow-ups every 48 hours, documenting broken promises, and preparing a formal grievance letter for the aviation regulator. The human role was limited to initiating the dispute and providing the initial context, with no further involvement described during the agent's execution.
Reported result
The source claims the full refund was processed within the week following the agent's intervention. However, this is a single anecdotal report with no independent verification or detailed metrics on the timeline or specific actions taken by the airline. The success is attributed entirely to the agent's persistence and documentation capabilities.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
The case relies on a specific, potentially proprietary tool ('Instinct') whose availability and integration capabilities are not detailed. There is no information on how the agent accessed airline systems or legal databases, nor on the cost or time required for setup. Human oversight during the automated follow-ups is not described, raising potential compliance or tone risks.
Try it
Act as a dispute resolution agent for a stalled $1,200 flight refund. I will provide the initial booking reference, airline name, and a summary of previous failed support interactions. First, draft a firm follow-up email citing the original promise and the 48-hour response window. Second, create a log of all previous broken promises and missed callbacks. Third, prepare a draft formal grievance letter to the relevant aviation regulator, referencing the documented delays. Do not send any emails or letters without my explicit approval. Show me the drafts and the log for review before proceeding. If the airline responds, analyze the reply and suggest the next step, but wait for my confirmation before sending any further communication. Ensure all communications are professional but assertive, avoiding aggressive language that could escalate the situation negatively.
