This reminds me of Magic ( https://magic.gd ) or Fin (now defunct, https://fin.com - a closer match, with a similar if broader mission). Hopefully the narrower scope will allow you to escape the issues that Fin ran into, trying to bolster their team. :) Magic has fixed pricing for some tasks, including travel booking I believe - so hopefully Carry is (or becomes) either less expensive or higher quality.
This reminds me of that robo company that you could text anything you wanted to and they would book/figure it out for you. Love that you are honing your focus in to Slack and Travel. Goodluck!
Are you talking about Magic [0]? I've used it a few times for rather esoteric items and had great experiences. (Both were booking appointments at government agencies with awful reservation systems that often were overbooked or limited availability — TSA global entry appointments and DMV appointments. It cost about $30 each time.) [0] http://getmagic.com

Is this the same Magic? https://getmagic.com/
"70% of corporate travel is booked without any tool or agency" That always bothered me. We used this middle man agency ... there was no savings, I still just booked it myself for the most part. I just had to use their crappy site. I did not understand the point of that, but man it was policy.
Don't you think it was policy so they can capture the information and get reporting?
I write some software that involves accounting. Surprising how they drive A LOT of things. Sometimes a bit too much...
I suspect this is the case with a lot of business / enterprise software.
Congrats on the launch. I think this space (software assisted services that rely on Slack / SMS / email) is a promising one. Best of luck!

Here's a killer feature everyone wants: I want to put a date range and get the cheapest plane tickets. Big range, I want to find the cheapest time of the year to fly and plan my vacation. Nobody lets you do this.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Yes, that's the same Magic. I think https://getmagic.com is their main URL, but I have magic.gd in muscle memory since it's shorter. :P
