We're building SearchSpot.ai.
The basic idea is that travel planning is less a search problem and more a decision-confidence problem. Existing tools are decent at giving links, filters, or generated itineraries, but not great at helping you eliminate options in a way that feels trustworthy.
In practice, most people planning a real trip end up stitching together OTAs, maps, blogs, Reddit, Instagram, weather, commute times, reviews, etc. The hard part isn't only finding options, it's ruling them out with confidence.
We're trying to make that process more structured: preserve trip context, compare options across constraints, keep bucketlists/itinerary views, and show enough reasoning that it doesn't feel like a black box.
Still early, but that's the problem we're obsessed with.
Building the world’s first “Travel Confidence Engine.”
I’ve been obsessed with how people actually make travel decisions — not how platforms think they do. From a consumer’s standpoint, travel isn’t just “search → compare → book.” It’s emotional, contextual, and full of FOMO.
You open 20 tabs across Booking, Google Maps, Reddit, and Instagram trying to answer simple questions like: Is this the right area? Is this hotel actually good? Am I missing a better deal somewhere else?
Most existing tools either oversimplify (like ChatGPT giving three confident but unverifiable answers) or hide information behind algorithms and commissions (like OTAs). Both remove choice — and ironically, make people less confident.
I’m building SearchSpot, a “Cursor for travel.” It automatically does what power travelers already do manually — cross-check reviews, verify real photos, compare prices across platforms — and then shows its reasoning transparently so you understand why something was recommended or excluded.
The goal isn’t to replace your decisions, but to help you close your tabs with confidence.
From FOMO to flow. From chaos to clarity.
If you’ve ever spent hours researching a trip just to end up more confused, I’d love your thoughts: https://searchspot.ai/home
yeah, but there's no way to reach out for feedback or follow ups if not logged in. At this stage, we want loads of feedbacks and help genuine users plan their trips well, hence the login wall.
Well, as a "genuine" user, you'll never get so far as to get feedback since I'm (and likely others too) not going to bother with a tool that I can't even test its authenticity, correctness or usefulness of over known good individual routes for information. So if you want feedback; lower the friction. If it's useful, people will make accounts. E.g. too save searches and whatnot.
