The problem it solves

Putting together a conference travel request means chasing flight quotes, calculating costs, and writing it all up clearly enough for your CEO to approve quickly. Every request looks a little different, which slows down approval and creates extra back and forth.

Who it fits

Employees or managers who need to request approval for overseas conference travel from company leadership.

How it works

  1. You start the request with the conference details and dates
  2. The system gathers exchange rates, flight quotes, and accommodation costs
  3. AI calculates the total expense and checks it against your budget
  4. AI drafts a clear approval email with a full cost breakdown
  5. The request is emailed to your CEO and logged for tracking
What you get

Approval requests ready without doing the math

Your CEO gets a complete, cost-checked travel request ready to approve, built from real flight and budget data.

What you get

A complete, ready-to-send approval email with cost breakdown for your CEO, plus a logged record of the request.

What you need

A Gmail account, a Google Sheets account, and an AI account for drafting the request.

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.
