Overview
What the product needed to do.
Beech Club is a members-only concierge product for reservations, travel, accommodation, curated experiences, and private access.
I built the brand site, invite funnel, private links, founding membership checkout, admin app, realtime backend, AI-assisted intake, venue intelligence, and native iOS app.
Main takeaway
The product keeps the service promise human while software handles intake, routing, context, billing, and operator workflow.
Product surfaces
What users and operators got.
Brand and invite funnel
Public site, invite entry, verification, profile capture, waitlist, checkout, and login recovery.
Native iOS app
Member requests, concierge chat, map discovery, proposals, voice intake, and push routing.
Operator admin
Request queues, conversations, proposals, bookings, venues, users, waitlist, and outreach in one console.
Realtime backend
Convex powers request state, chat, intake, billing, invites, venues, webhooks, and admin operations.
Systems built
What made it work.
Invite-only growth
Codes, private links, profile completion, waitlist entries, and share passes work as one funnel.
AI-assisted concierge
Anthropic, OpenAI, transcription, and embeddings support intake and operations while the service stays human.
Realtime workflow
Streaming chat, voice notes, proposals, bookings, read state, presence, and APNs notifications keep requests alive.
Venue intelligence
Google Places, Firecrawl, search, embeddings, images, and lifecycle states turn venue data into operator context.
