Vortiek VORTIEK

Product tour

This is what
Vortiek actually does.

Not a feature list, the real product surface. From the second you forward a confirmation email to the moment you clear the upgrade list, here's the intelligence working underneath.

STEP 01

Forward the email. That's it.

At signup you get a private inbound address. Forward any airline confirmation, any carrier, any format, even PDFs, and ImportAI parses every field with per-field confidence in seconds. Round-trips, open-jaws and code-shares split correctly into discrete flights.

STEP 02

One glance. Everything that matters.

Every flight becomes a live intelligence card: where your actual aircraft is coming from, your upgrade odds, your earnings, updating in real time and beating the airline app to every disruption by 20-30 minutes. Live Activities put the gate, the score and the risk on your lock screen.

  • Inbound tail-number tracking with delay propagation
  • Plain-English reasoning on every alert
  • Glanceable on watch, widgets and CarPlay

STEP 03

The Upgrade Probability Engine, shown working.

Five weighted signal layers, status hierarchy, route history, live premium-cabin availability, clearance windows and aircraft type, produce a score that recalculates at every decision point and shows its reasoning. Here's the same engine across three real scenarios:

Each airline's upgrade hierarchy is coded as its own scoring matrix, with international carriers following on the Pro tier.

STEP 04

Award space, mapped like weather.

The award heatmap paints a whole month of availability at once, tap any day for the programs, seats and cost. The sweet-spot finder and transfer-partner optimizer make sure you never leave value on the table. Built on licensed data, not scrapers that break.
