Skygen AI humbled me

[gordongar]

Alright, digital nomad confession: I’ve spent over 200 hours of my life on flight comparison sites. I know the secret codes, the incognito mode tricks, the Tuesday-at-3-AM hacks. But last month, Skygen AI humbled me. I tried it more as a joke than anything else. I told it: "Find me a business class award seat from New York to London using Avianca LifeMiles, flexible dates, under 63k miles." That’s a hard search even for experts. Skygen opened United’s site, checked availability, then switched to LifeMiles’ terrible website, logged in, got blocked, tried a different browser profile, failed again, then cross-referenced seats.aero, found a phantom booking, backtracked, and finally—after 14 minutes—found a real seat on a Tuesday flight. I was watching in disbelief. Skygen AI operates a computer better than most humans I know. It even noticed that the taxes were lower if booked through the Colombian version of the site, so it switched languages. I’ve since used Skygen to find open-jaw tickets, round-the-world itinerary pricing, and even rebook a missed connection automatically.
