I feel like the whole thing is being oversold. They're making huge claims on this page and I have no idea whether or not they're true.

  > Never says no

  > Hits 100% of promises and expectations

I'm sure these are achievable...

Yeah, pretty hyperbolic. There are a lot of cases where they will have to say no or "sorry, we'll have to set that up for another time". Some requests are simply not always possible.

To pick one of their examples:

"I need to rent out the Exploratorium this weekend."

What if someone already rented it out? Or it's under construction? Or there's a special event? Or *?

Thanks for bringing this up. We've adjusted these bullet points to make them more accurate.

Given unlimited funds, anything possible is easy for the guy writing the cheque.

If I was willing to foot the bill, you could probably do any of the example magics listed (assuming you had my details/logins to email/calendar) in an hour or two.
