Getting started with AI flight price monitoring and automated purchase assistance (beta) should be straightforward: set your travel parameters, connect your data access, and let the system watch for price moves. This page walks you through what the beta does, what you need to prepare, and what you should not assume before you join.
Join the beta to help us test continuous monitoring and automated assistance workflows. If you are evaluating whether this fits your travel style, read the common questions below first.
What this beta is, in plain terms
AI flight price monitoring and automated purchase assistance (beta) is designed to help you track flight prices and act when they reach a target you choose. It continuously monitors flight prices, then triggers when a user-defined target price is detected.
When the trigger happens, it can purchase flights on your behalf within a scheduled number of days you select. The system is intended to work continuously as an algorithmic travel bot, not as a one-time search.
Important beta context: the current focus is testing and refining the experience. You should treat results as non-guaranteed and verify details when prompted.
Who is this for?
This beta is for travelers who want a hands-off approach to monitoring prices and who are comfortable setting rules that determine when assistance should happen. It is also for buyers who already know the basics of their trip and want to reduce the time spent repeatedly checking fares.
It may not be a fit if you need guaranteed outcomes or if your plans change frequently without clear constraints. In particular, do not assume the bot will always find or buy the cheapest fare, or that a specific route will always be available at your target price.
- Good fit: You can define a target price and a buying window, and you want continuous monitoring.
- Maybe not: You require guaranteed pricing, guaranteed availability, or instant results.
How to get started
Getting started typically takes a few setup steps. You provide your own API key, and you store a credit card on file for the automated purchase flow. The system uses your rules to monitor prices and trigger actions when conditions are met.
At a high level, the workflow looks like this:
- Define your trip criteria: Choose the flights you want to monitor and set a target price.
- Set the buying window: Select the scheduled number of days you want the assistant to act after a trigger.
- Connect your access: Provide your own API key.
- Enable payment for automation: Store a credit card on file for purchases made on your behalf.
- Let it run continuously: The monitoring runs as an algorithmic travel bot, watching for your target price.
If you want to understand pricing and what you are signing up for, review Pricing. For a deeper look at how the product is built and operates, see AirScalp-Lab Product. If you have concerns about handling payment and travel-related data, read Security & Data Protection.
What should buyers not assume?
To avoid surprises, it helps to set expectations up front. The beta is built to monitor prices continuously and trigger when your target price is detected. However, there are limits you should understand before relying on automated purchases.
- No guaranteed price: The system does not promise a specific price will be found or that your target will be met.
- No guaranteed availability: Do not assume a specific route or fare type will always be available when monitoring runs.
- No instant results: Price monitoring is continuous, but triggers depend on price movements and your defined criteria.
- No promise of the absolute cheapest fare: The assistant should not be assumed to always find or buy the cheapest fare.
Also, because you provide your own API key and store a credit card on file, you remain responsible for the rules you set. If you are unsure about how to configure a target price or buying window, reach out before joining.
