I clicked Copilot button in Bing with this search term and it said the exact answer I was looking for, in plain English:

"Yes, *Monday, January 27th* is a public holiday in Auckland. It's the *Auckland Anniversary Day*, which is celebrated on the Monday nearest to January 29th each year.

Do you have any special plans for the holiday?"

It cited 2 sources which turned out to be correct (this time).

Seems far more efficient than googling which nowadays gives you an entire first page of ads. Although I'm not sure to what extent hallucination issues have been sorted out.

Well google was two clicks and I have an ad blocker. I guess it depends what you are after - I use AI too.
