🏨 Use Claude for Chrome to book business trips
In this tutorial, you will learn how to set up Claude to control your browser and automate hours of travel research, pulling together a list of recommended hotels with up-to-date pricing and availability in a Google Sheet.

Prompt: "When searching hotels on Booking.com: (1) Filter 'Hotels' only, (2) Apply distance/star rating filters (default 4+ stars), (3) Find top 10 based on criteria AND reviews (8.5+ Booking.com, 4+ TripAdvisor), (4) Prioritize modern properties with amenities. Return the top 10 sorted by value"
Create a Google Sheet with headers: Hotel Name, Price per Night, Rating, Distance to Downtown, Amenities, Booking Link—then copy the sheet’s URL
Test: "I'm traveling to [location] from [date]. Find hotels within 1 mile of downtown under [price per night]. Navigate to [YOUR SPREADSHEET URL] and add a row for each hotel. Sort by best value"
