What they did

PCMag asked Copilot's Action mode to 'make a dinner reservation for two for 8 p.m. at a good Japanese restaurant nearby using OpenTable.' It opened a cloud browser and drove the site.

How it went

It completed the OpenTable booking after he typed in his phone number and a texted code. It thought he was in Chicago, it was slower than booking himself, and free accounts were cut off after four sessions.

Worth knowing
