bet you could get better service using an offshore (or not) online personal assistant (i.e. a real human)

Thanks for your comment, yes you can save time by getting humans to conduct the search for you. However, we believe assigning the search and filtering process to humans is inefficient especially as regards time spent. Abstracting that process will provide time for other more important tasks that cannot be done by machines.

I'm the founder of https://www.voyando.com , this does exactly what you've mentioned: asking real humans to search for you.

hey, thanks for the feedback. Voyando looks cool, great job! At http://travel.ai.instapage.com/ our aim is to delegate the search process to machines so that humans can spend their time on other tasks that machines cannot handle effectively.
Our service can be useful for Voyando as well. Let me know if you're interested in discussing this further. You can reach me on lumzor [at] gmail dot com.
Thanks
