The problem it solves

You or your team waste time hunting through different airline websites to check baggage rules, deadlines, and check-in requirements. Policies change without notice, so information you saved last month may already be wrong.

Who it fits

Travel agencies or corporate travel teams that need to track check-in requirements across many airlines.

How it works

  1. Starts from a list of airline check-in page links kept in a spreadsheet
  2. Each page is scraped for its current content
  3. AI reads the page and pulls out structured details
  4. Spreadsheet is refreshed with the latest information
  5. Details are indexed so staff can search or ask questions about them
What you get

Check-in rules your staff can find in seconds

Your staff can search or ask questions about any airline's check-in requirements and get an instant answer.

What you get

An updated spreadsheet and a searchable knowledge base of airline check-in policies you can query in plain English.

What you need

A Google Sheets account, a Postgres database, and an AI model such as Ollama.

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.
