What they did

A Verge writer asked Gemini Spark for a family- and dog-friendly weekend in Hershey, Pennsylvania, then asked it to book an Airbnb.

How it went

A few minutes later it shared a Google Doc with a few thousand words of detailed, useful itinerary. The Airbnb booking failed: Airbnb's login and payment checks blocked it, so it listed available places and the details needed to book them by hand.

Worth knowing

  • Planning worked well, but booking was blocked on Airbnb.
  • It uses your Google data heavily. Decide what you're comfortable connecting.
