## How do you plan a team offsite?

To plan a team offsite, tell Maito the headcount, location, month and budget in Slack. It researches venues on the web, checks date options against your calendar, compares total costs, lists the trade-offs such as travel time, and drafts an agenda so the team can pick an option.

## How it's done today

Planning an offsite takes weeks of messages.

## What Maito does

1.  Collect constraints: dates, budget, size, location
2.  Research options
3.  Draft agenda and a comparison

## Example

**Rosa** (10:00 AM):

Find offsite options for 25 people near Lisbon in May, under $20k all in. Two days, two nights.

**Maito** (10:04 AM):

4 options, based on current listed prices. Confirm with each venue.

• **Quinta da Serra, Sintra:** about $17,800, includes meals and a meeting barn  
• **Casa do Mar, Cascais:** about $19,200, sea view, 30 minutes from the airport  
• **Herdade Azul, Alentejo:** about $15,500, 90 minutes away, no wifi in the rooms  
• **Hotel Almada, Lisbon:** about $21,000, over budget

**Catch:** your calendar has the all-hands on Thu May 7, and the Portuguese public holiday on Fri May 1 raises prices. May 12 to 14 avoids both and is cheaper at all three in-budget venues.

Attached: offsite-options.xlsx and a draft 2-day agenda for Quinta da Serra. You book.

**Rosa** (10:12 AM):

Email Quinta da Serra for availability May 12 to 14.

**Maito** (10:13 AM):

Draft is ready for you to read first. Sending it from maito@northstar.example once you say so.

## Questions

### Does it book anything?

No. It prepares options and a draft. A person confirms prices and books.

### Does it check availability?

It checks your team's calendars through Google Calendar, Microsoft 365, Cal.com or Calendly. Venue availability needs confirming with the venue.

### Can it keep to a budget?

Yes. You give a total, and Maito shows each option against it with what is included.
