SearchSpot - Every great memory has someone who planned for it

by•
Great trips are not found in one tab. They are planned across reels, reviews, maps, prices, weather, routes, safety, food fit, events, and everyone’s preferences. SearchSpot brings all of that into one AI concierge, then turns it into ranked, explainable, bookable plans built for real-world confidence.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Hiten, founder of SearchSpot. I built SearchSpot because I faced this problem myself, and then kept noticing it everywhere: every great trip has someone silently carrying the weight of making it great. Someone saves the reels. Checks the hotels. Reads the bad reviews. Looks at the map. Thinks about safety, weather, food, routes, prices, timings, and whether the plan will actually work for everyone. That person is not just planning. They are protecting the memory. And yet, most travel tools still behave like the problem is “give me an itinerary.” But the real problem is decision confidence. Should we choose this hotel or that one? Is this area actually good? Is this place overhyped? Will the route waste half our day? Is there something better happening nearby? What are people loving, avoiding, or regretting? SearchSpot started as an AI travel planner, but the more we built, the clearer it became that planning is only one part of the job. The bigger job is helping people make better real-world choices before they spend their time, money, and energy. So we built SearchSpot as an AI travel concierge that brings together maps, stays, reviews, reels, prices, weather, safety checks, food fit, live events, routes, group preferences, and social proof, then turns all of it into ranked, explainable, bookable plans. Our goal is simple: help people plan trips they remember, with less uncertainty and more confidence. We’re still early, but people are already using SearchSpot for family holidays, group trips, weekend plans, hotel decisions, food research, local outings, and full itineraries. Seeing users trust it for real decisions has been the most rewarding part of building this. Would love your support, feedback, criticism, and ideas today. And especially, if you are the person who usually plans trips for your group, I’d love to hear what still feels broken in the process. Thank you for checking us out ❤️
💡 Bright idea

cool! you should have a share option from Instagram to searchspot for people to be able to save their favourtie location, cafes, and basically all the landmark that just popped in front of them while scrolling. Whenever I start planning a trip my Instagram just gets flooded with related reels and many of my female friends are very peculiar about what places they want to visit and eat coming mostly from instagram. If i would be able to append such locations by just sharing and then have my plan around them ready here THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! just thinking aloud!

 Bro that feature exists already. Try sending your reels to instagram channel and that will work in your chat in the platform. We also have to do a better job of highlighting these hidden features

Maker

just share your reel to this account - auto indexes against your profile in searchspot

 Thanks Hiten and Tarun, I tried the product and I am not planning to travel anytime soon still was impressed with what you guys have built specially for me having this link with instagrams will for surely help me planning my next trip! Kudos to you guys! All the best

No other AI platform comes closed to the nitty grity of eliminations and finding real prices and feedback of your spots. Urge everyone to try searchspot for their next trip

As the person who always ends up planning every trip for my friends, this one lands hard. Having the whole group actually weigh in together takes so much pressure off the one poor soul holding all the tabs open.

🥹i know right
🧐 Good find

Hi Hiten, used SearchSpot to plan a Leh & Ladakh trip just now. The elimination reasoning and acclimatization-first itinerary logic are genuinely impressive (given that I visited Ladakh a month back and the advice is genuine, not generic). Most travel tools dump a generic Day 1-6 plan. This one thought about safety constraints first, and that's the right product instinct.

One bug to flag urgently: after generating the full plan, the response ended with "Let-to-Ladakh!" repeated hundreds of times. Looks like a streaming/token error hitting a loop instead of failing gracefully, and worth patching before more PH traffic hits.

A few UX observations: the search steps show what's being searched but not how long; even "Step 4 of 11 · ~20 seconds" would reduce anxiety. The "Notify Me When Ready" CTA at the bottom of a completed plan is confusing — unclear what it's notifying about. And the "Book Now" buttons on flight carousels create a false expectation since booking isn't handled inside SearchSpot.

The core decision-confidence engine is strong. The rough edges are all fixable. Congrats on the launch.

 Thank you so much for reporting this.
The repetition bug is fixed now!
UX observations are certainly very helpful, we'll definitely work on this.
One thing to correct though, SearchSpot does have booking ability, you can actually book hotels and flights from the platform.
As a thanks for reporting this, please do accept a 15% cashback upto INR 1500 on your account when you book from searchspot.
Thank you so much <3

Hello everyone👋

For the past few months, I’ve been working closely with our team to build SearchSpot, a travel planning and booking app designed to make trip planning feel simple, fast, and almost magical.

As a founding engineer, this journey has been a mix of building, breaking, fixing, learning, and constantly trying to turn an idea into something people can actually use. From shaping the product experience to working on the core flows, every part of this journey has taught me how challenging and exciting it is to build a product from zero.

The problem we’re trying to solve is something many of us have experienced: planning a trip often means jumping between too many tabs, comparing endless options, saving random links, and still feeling unsure about what to book.

With SearchSpot, we want to bring discovery, planning, and booking into one smoother experience — so people can go from “I want to travel” to “my trip is planned” much faster.

Today, we’re live on Product Hunt 🚀

It would genuinely mean a lot if you could try SearchSpot, share your feedback, and support us on our launch.

Would love to hear what you think, especially around the planning experience and what we can improve next. ❤️

Hey Product Hunt community 👋

SearchSpot is live today, and I wanted to share what is already working inside the product.

We built SearchSpot for the person who plans the trip everyone remembers.

Not just the person looking for “best places to visit,” but the one checking where to stay, what area is safe, what fits the budget, where the food works for everyone, how much travel is realistic, what to skip, what to book first, and what hidden risks could ruin the plan.


Here is what SearchSpot can already help with:

• Plan complete trips based on real constraints
• Compare destinations, areas, stays, activities, and routes
• Build plans around budget, food preferences, safety, weather, timing, and group preferences
• Explain what to do, what to skip, and what to book first
• Surface live events, things happening nearby, and local discoveries
• Help with stays, activities, transport, and full itinerary decisions
• Create more realistic plans by checking feasibility, not just popularity
• Turn messy travel research into a confident real-world plan


Some early signals we are excited about:

• 4,000+ trip plans created in the last 30 days
• 12,000+ chats from travelers
• 3,000+ organic active travelers
• ₹6.5L+ in booking GTV since mid-May


• Recognized as OpenLaunch #1 Project of the Day, Peerlist #1 Project of the Week, and LaunchPad India #1 Product of the Week

The most exciting part is that people are not just using SearchSpot for generic itineraries. They are using it for high-stakes, messy, real-world decisions:


“Where should my family stay near a hospital?”
“Which Goa area works for six people with different preferences?”
“Where can I find safe, vegetarian-friendly stays near this venue?”
“What should we skip so the trip does not become too chaotic?”
“What is actually worth booking first?”


That is the behavior we are building for.

SearchSpot is still early, but the direction is clear: we want to become the decision engine for real-world experiences, starting with travel.

Would love your feedback, questions, criticism, and support today.
