What they did
He pasted a long block of instructions: Booking.com only, with the exact filter names used on the site, plus ranking and tiebreaker rules. The agent used the logged-in account, searched, ranked the results and moved on to the booking.
How it went
The blog explains how the level of detail in the request changed the outcome.
Good to know
The more the request uses the site's own language (filter names), the less the agent gets lost.
The prompt
On [site], look for a hotel near [airport] for [dates], using the filters [exact list], a minimum rating of [rating] and a budget of up to [amount]. Rank by [criterion]; in case of a tie, prefer [criterion]. Stop before paying.
Replace what is in [brackets]. Prompt written by us from the account, not a literal copy of the source. Do not paste other people’s personal data (privacy laws such as LGPD and GDPR apply).
