About

I am a 2x tech Founder & CPTO based in the UAE, currently building in AI travel tech. Before startups, I spent 10+ years deep in the code, architecting massive backend systems—including the core flight booking engine for Emirates Group. I know how complex travel infrastructure actually works, and now I'm using that experience to fix it. My ambition is clear: I am not interested in building thin AI wrappers. I want to build platforms backed by real integrations and solid unit economics. I love building frictionless products, solving hard engineering problems, and scaling a true travel super app from the ground up. Let's connect!

AI travel tools are great... until it's time to actually book. Let's talk. 🤷‍♂️

Hey everyone ,

Thanks for checking out our page! I wanted to start a thread here to share the core frustration that drove us to build this, and get your honest feedback.

Every AI travel tool stops halfway. Does anyone else find this frustrating?

I have a question for you all. Every AI travel tool I have tried recently does the exact same thing: you ask an AI chat for ideas, you map it out on a visual trip planner, and then it completely leaves you to go and book it all yourself.

You end up copying the hotel name into one booking site, searching for the flight on another, and checking activities in a completely different tab.

Basically, you are still doing the boring part manually. The AI did the fun part and handed you the homework.
