Finally, someone who actually makes the plans.
We've all been in the group chat where everyone wants to get together, but nobody can agree on when, where, or what to do.
Scout helps turn that conversation into an actual plan.
Finds a time that works
Scout helps coordinate everyone's availability, works around conflicting schedules, and finds times that make sense for the group. It can use connected calendars when authorized or simply work with the availability everyone shares in the chat.
Remembers what everyone likes
Scout gets to know individual preferences and uses them to make smarter recommendations.
One friend loves veggie pizza. Another prefers pepperoni. Someone's vegetarian, and the kids need to eat early. Scout considers everyone's preferences and finds options that work for the group.
Helps the group agree
Too many opinions? Scout narrows things down to a few great options, gathers everyone's feedback, and helps the group reach a decision.
Change your mind halfway through? Scout adjusts the plan without making everyone start over.
Turns ideas into actual adventures
Tell Scout what you're in the mood for, where you are, and who's coming. It can discover activities and events, put together a personalized itinerary, suggest nearby stops, and share the details everyone needs.
From a quick afternoon outing to an entire weekend adventure, Scout helps bring it together.
Picks up right where you left off
Scout remembers your preferences, previous plans, and conversations. Whether you're planning something new or revisiting an idea from last week, you won't need to explain everything again.
One assistant. So many ways to use it.
Scout fits into the tools and conversations you're already using.

A weekend with the kids

Dinner with friends
Find a date that works, pick a place that suits everyone's tastes and budget, and coordinate the details without endless messages.
Date night
Tell Scout what you both enjoy and discover something beyond your usual routine, from local events to unexpected little adventures.
Trips and group getaways
Bring everyone's interests together, find things worth doing nearby, and build a flexible itinerary that the whole group can shape.
Spontaneous plans
Have a free afternoon? Tell Scout who's around, how much time you've got, and what you're in the mood for. It can help you make the most of it.
Your plans are shared. Your private information stays private.
Scout is designed to make planning together easier while respecting everyone's privacy.
Your information stays yours.
Friends and guests in a group chat don't automatically gain access to your personal account details or connected calendars.
You control access.
Connected services require authorization, so Scout works with the information and permissions you choose to provide.
Guests are welcome.
People can join the planning conversation without creating a Sidequest account.
You're in charge.
Scout can help you discover options and organize the details, but purchases and reservations remain in your hands.
Save Scout as a contact (one shared number, email, and WhatsApp identity), add it to the group like any person, then @mention it when you want something. In groups Scout only responds when tagged — it doesn't read the rest of your chat.
That's the normal case. Anyone in the chat can participate — guests get the full planning experience with no signup, no app, no account. If a guest later joins Sidequest, their preferences and past plans carry over automatically. Things that need an account (like saving plans to your own library or syncing a calendar) will prompt a signup at that point.
No. If they're in the chat, they're in. SMS works on any phone — no smartphone required.
Same Scout, different wrapper. SMS and WhatsApp are best for quick group back-and-forth — short messages, numbered options, reply-with-a-number decisions. Email is the rich surface: full itineraries with formatting you can forward. Or just message Scout 1:1 on any of them — no tag needed when it's just you and Scout.
Find a time that works, turn an idea into a full sidequest, revise plans as things change, invite the people you want there, and remember what works (with permission).
No — Scout plans, it doesn't purchase. You get the itinerary and the links; booking stays in your hands.
No. In groups, Scout only processes messages that tag it. Untagged conversation isn't read, stored, or used — that's a hard rule, not a setting.
Never. Scout won't share your preferences, calendar details, kids' info, or anything personal with other people in the chat — not even hints.
Scout picks up exactly where you left off. No recap needed.
Reply STOP, or just remove it from the chat.
Less planning. More living.
From everyday outings to unforgettable adventures, Scout helps bring your people together and make more of the time you share.
