Yasmin

Hey! I'm Yas, solo founder of Semita an AI travel planner that generates a full day-by-day itinerary in under 60 seconds.

A few things I learned building and launching solo:

• Distribution is harder than building the product took months, getting people to see it is a whole different challenge

• User feedback surprises you I assumed collaboration would be the most popular feature but Hidden Gems mode got way more attention than I expected. Goes to show that what you think users want and what they actually care about can be completely different

• Plan your launch day better than I did it is chaotic trying to make sure everything works while also getting posts out everywhere. I got so caught up checking the product that I missed the time and lost the first few hours of momentum. Lesson learned schedule your posts in advance

• Getting people to respond is hard I personally emailed early signups hoping for feedback and heard nothing back. Apparently that is normal but it is still a humbling reminder that getting people to engage takes way more effort than you expect

Would love to connect with other founders what was your biggest lesson from your own launch?

I built Semita because I was drowning in tabs trying to plan a simple day trip hours wasted before the trip even started.

But I want to hear from you what's the part of travel planning that frustrates you most?

Is it:

• Finding places that aren't just tourist traps?

• Figuring out a realistic day-by-day flow?

• Planning for dietary requirements?

• Coordinating with friends who all want different things?

• Just not knowing where to start?

Hey Product Hunt! I'm Yas, a solo founder from Sydney, Australia.

I've always loved travel but hated planning it endless tabs, mapping stops, hours wasted before the trip even started. So, I spent the last few months building Semita, an AI travel planner that turns your destination, vibe and budget into a full itinerary in under 60 seconds.

I built everything myself product, design, engineering and marketing which has been equal parts terrifying and exciting. Semita is live today and this is my first ever Product Hunt launch.
