Launch HN: Carry (YC S19) – We Book Travel for You on Slack

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.

We too are hopeful that the narrower scope will allow our economics to work out!

Must have missed Fin shutting down. Any info on why they closed up?

Is this the same Magic?

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

For some reason I get 502 Bad Gateway when clicking your magic.gd link but entering magic.gd manually works.
