Outcome
Ved Kamat, who lives in Japan, gets the same pollen-allergy prescription every month and finds clinic booking sites awkward, with odd layouts and the same details asked for again and again. They had Claude in Chrome do the booking: it found the booking page, chose the return-patient appointment type, picked the earliest slot as asked and filled in the patient details. Kamat only had to type their password when Claude asked; payment details would also have stayed with them. They plan to hand over more non-critical bookings.

Carrie Liken asked Gemini to book a yearly eye appointment at their usual optician. It didn't work at first because the Zocdoc app needed switching on in settings and calling with '@zocdoc'. Once it was on, Gemini offered times for only one of the practice's doctors, not Liken's. Google's business listing showed the same single doctor, so Liken went to the practice website, found their doctor listed and booked there directly.
