Short answer

Can I book a table using my AI?

Yes. Your agent uses TheFork to find restaurants, check for open tables, and confirm your booking. You'll get a confirmed reservation without leaving your chat interface.

The results

What you get

The agent handles the logistics so you can just show up.

SEARCH

Find the right spot

The agent scans restaurant listings based on your cravings or location. You get a list of places that actually fit your criteria.

AVAILABILITY

Check open times

It looks up real-time openings for your specific date and party size. You won't waste time on places that are already full.

BOOKING

Secure the table

Once you pick a time, the agent submits the reservation details. You'll receive confirmation once the booking is set.

HUMAN

Final review

You decide which restaurant to pick and confirm the final details. The agent waits for your go-ahead before finalizing anything.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The agent moves from broad searches to specific bookings using three core tools.

  1. Locate dining options

    The agent looks for restaurants that match your cuisine, location, or rating preferences.

  2. Verify time slots

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Does the AI book the table automatically?

    No. The agent will find options and check availability, but it waits for your explicit confirmation before it creates a reservation.

  • 02

    Can the AI change my existing reservation?

    No. The current tools only allow for searching, checking availability, and creating new reservations.

  • 03

    Can I pay for the meal through the AI?

    No. The agent handles the booking through TheFork, but it does not have tools to process payments or handle the bill.

  • 04

    Will I get a confirmation email?

    Yes. Once the agent successfully uses the tool to create the reservation, you will receive the standard confirmation from TheFork.

  • 05

    Can the AI filter by price?

    Yes. You can include price preferences in your request, and the agent will use those to filter the restaurant search.
