Beemy finds the options and drafts the booking reply, ready for you to approve. 4 min read When a family trip keeps getting put off The date's on the calendar, everyone knows the flights need sorting, and it still doesn't happen because comparing options properly takes longer than the five minutes you actually have free. The example ## What it looks like when this runs. Illustrative example, built with mock data. In Gmail · personal What arrived a flight search confirmation Your saved search: flights for Dad's 70th The dates for Dad's 70th are already on your calendar, and the flights for that week still need booking before seats thin out. Beemy's draft Booking confirmation: flights for Dad's 70th Three realistic options for the dates already on your calendar, with the booking confirmation ready to fill in once you pick one. Nothing gets booked or charged until you approve it yourself. You choose the flight, and nothing is booked until you say so. How Beemy handles it ## 3 steps, approval-first the whole way. ### Checks your personal calendar for the dates Beemy confirms the travel dates against the event already on your personal calendar, so nothing's booked against the wrong week. ### Finds the flight options It pulls together the realistic options for those dates, rather than leaving you to open five tabs yourself. ### Drafts the booking confirmation A reply confirming the booking is drafted and ready: you're approving a decision that's already been researched for you. What you still decide - The booking only goes ahead once you approve. It finds options and drafts the confirmation; spending your money always waits for you. - You choose between the options it finds; it doesn't pick for you. - A schedule conflict with the trip dates is flagged before anything's booked. The honest scope ## What it reads. What it can do. What it never does. Reads - Your personal calendar, to confirm the travel dates - The booking thread or site correspondence, to draft an accurate confirmation Can do - Finds flight options for the dates you need - Drafts the booking confirmation and holds it for your approval Never - Never books or pays for anything without your explicit approval - Never lets this personal trip inform a work calendar entry, or vice versa - Never picks between options on your behalf: that choice stays yours Why this is harder than it looks Deciding is what actually takes the time; booking the flight is quick once that's settled. Comparing options, checking they actually fit the dates already promised to family, and getting a confirmation ready before the moment of deciding passes is what turns 'we should book that' into an actual booking instead of another thing that slips a week. Questions ## Fair questions, straight answers. **Will it book the flight and charge me without asking?** No, it finds the options and drafts the confirmation, but nothing is booked or paid for until you approve it. **Does it check the dates against my calendar first?** Yes, it confirms the travel dates against your personal calendar before finding options, so what it suggests actually fits.
