# Scout (dinewithscout.com)

> Scout helps diners turn plans into restaurant reservations. Describe a night out or choose a restaurant, then let Scout watch Resy for matching openings. Choose Auto-Book within approved limits, or Notify to receive alerts and book yourself.

A diner enables Auto-Book by approving a Search and its booking limits. Scout can then book matching tables in the diner's own Resy account without a separate confirmation for each opening. Notify does not book. Reservations depend on availability and are not guaranteed.

For the assistant integration pilot, a signed-in Scout user issues a personal access token or approves an OAuth connection. An assistant-created Auto-Book request requires the user's approval in Scout: per request, or once as a standing permission for a connection up to a restaurant-fee limit they choose. For newly confirmed Auto-Book Searches, this limit covers disclosed upfront restaurant charges and possible later fees together; older Searches require reconfirmation. Resy only.
