How it runs
Distilled · v1 Includes a distilled script, so your copy runs it from its first run. If a page has changed, it falls back to the AI agent for that run.
Instructions
Open booking.com Search hotels in $city for $checkin to $checkout, 2 adults. Sort by lowest price. Return the first $count: name, price_total, review_score, review_count, distance_from_center, url.
You provide “city”, “checkin”, “checkout”, “count” each time you run it.
Review the distilled script
This Python runs in your browser session when you use the workflow. Review it before running.
