I think what's interesting here is that it's a super cheap version of what many busy people already do -- hire a person to help do this. Why? Because the interface is easier and often less disruptive to our life. Instead of hopping from website to website, I'm just responding to a targeted imessage question from my human assistant "I think you should go with this <sitter,restaurant>, that work?" The next time I need to plan a date night, my assistant already knows what I like.
Replying "yes, book it" is way easier than clicking through a ton of UIs on disparate websites.
My opinion is that agents looking to "one-shot" tasks is the wrong UX. It's the async, single simple interface that is way easier to integrate into your life that's attractive IMO.
