It is kind of funny how the systems are set up where there often is dense and queryable information out there already for a lot of these tasks, but these are ignored in favor of the difficult challenge of brute forcing the human consumer facing ui instead of some existing api that is designed to be machine readable already. E.g. booking flights. Travel agents use software that queries all the airlines ticket inventory to return flight information to you the consumer. The issue of booking a flight is theoretically solved already by virtue of these APIs that already exist to do just that. But for AI agents this is now a stumbling block because it would presumably take a little bit of time to craft out a rule to cover this edge case and return far more accurate information and results. Consumers with no alternative don't know what they are missing so there is no incentive to improve this.
