The problem it solves

You sign up for flight price alerts and then the emails just pile up in your inbox, easy to miss and hard to compare. There's no single place that shows you how the fares you care about are trending over time.

Who it fits

Anyone tracking flight prices for personal travel or a small travel-booking side business.

How it works

  1. New price alert emails arrive in Gmail
  2. The system pulls the flight details out of each email
  3. The flight information is structured and added to a spreadsheet
  4. A summary email is sent listing all tracked flights
What you get

Fares you never had to write down

You get every tracked flight fare pulled from your alerts and organized into one running list you can check anytime.

What you get

A running spreadsheet of tracked flight prices and a summary email of current fares.

What you need

A Gmail account and a Google Sheets account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
