Cura is your personal AI travel agent that plans, and manages trips in one place. Tell it where you want to go and Cura builds your itinerary, finds flights and stays worth considering with clear reasoning, and handles check-ins and changes. It learns how you travel, so future trip planning takes just one line. When things get complicated, human travel advisors step in. Unlike booking tools, Cura takes action for you.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Shubham, co-founder of Cura!
Planning a trip should be the fun part. For me it was a dozen tabs, three apps, and one nagging question: did I pick right? Somewhere in that mess, Cura started.
The problem 😵
Too many tabs, apps, and booking platforms
Prices moving and reviews disagreeing
Tickets and IDs scattered across devices
Hours of comparing, still no way to know what's best
Plans collapsing the moment a flight changes
And that's for one person. Add a group and it gets worse.
How we found out how bad it is
We set up booths in societies, gave out a WhatsApp number, and told people to treat us as their travel advisor. The requests told us everything: landing on a national holiday, calling a hotel to check for vegetarian food, a first-row seat, a cake for a parents' anniversary 🎂
Two trips that stuck with us:
Istanbul to Cappadocia: two airports on each end, four possible routes, best fares hidden on airline sites. Hours of comparing, still no way to know if the pick was right.
Sri Lanka: a Yala safari, surfing in Mirissa, a mangrove boat ride, good stays. Every piece had its own vendor, booking flow, and reviews. Hours later, still a patchwork held together by hand.
The solution
Cura is a personal travel advisor for people whose time is money. It remembers you and your group (the aisle seat, the veg meal, no 6 am flights, which card gets the lounge), plans around it, and tells you what it would pick and why.
What it does
Plan: compares flights and stays side by side, ranks them for how you travel, turns travel reels into real itineraries, and plans from a simple chat
Manage: watches prices, calls hotels for special requests, and reshuffles stays and transfers when a flight changes
Keep it together: your whole trip on one map, with passports, visas, and boarding passes in one place
Humans on call: advisors step in for whatever doesn't fit a template
Who it's for
Busy travelers, groups, and anyone with a complicated trip: dietary needs, hotel requests, multi-city plans, last-minute changes.
Who's behind it
We're the team that built and launched Shadow, an AI for sales teams. Same team, new problem, and a lot more conviction. Big thanks to everyone who built this with me.
Today we're putting Cura in your hands 🚀
Now throw your hardest trip at Cura. A group of eight, a national holiday, one vegetarian in a steakhouse town, a flight change at the worst hour. And tell us: what's the most annoying part of planning a trip for you? ✈️

That's pretty cool use case. Once the app is trained on our preferences and we approve the plan, can we give the agent its credit card to book the flights, stays, etc?
Cura
@ragsyme That’s definitely the direction we’re heading toward. Right now, Cura helps with the planning and discovery, but we’re working toward making the booking flow much more seamless too. The idea is that once you approve the plan, Cura can take care of the actual bookings for you - with your authorization, of course.
The flight changes can really mess up your itinerary. It has happened to me a few times. If the agent plans around it, it’s would be awesome. Grats on the launch!
Cura
@anushanath Thanks, Anusha! That’s exactly one of the problems we’re trying to solve with Cura. Flights changing can have a domino effect on the whole trip, so instead of leaving you with an outdated itinerary, Cura is designed to adapt the rest of the plan around those changes. And thank you for the support!
Can it also balance a fixed budget with different flight and hotel options?
Cura
@garyshenk Yes! Cura can work around a fixed budget - you can set your budget upfront, and it’ll help find the best combination of flights, stays, and activities that fits within it, rather than just building an itinerary independently.
Can it prioritize things like location and travel time over the cheapest option?
Cura
@jenniferdavis Yes - Cura is designed to take those preferences into account rather than always optimizing for the cheapest option. You can tell it what matters to you, like shorter travel time, location, convenience, or budget, and it can factor those into the recommendations.
Managing check ins is an interesting addition since that part of travel is easy to forget. Which parts of the check in process can it handle directly?
Cura
@romainlefort Great question! Right now, Cura focuses on planning the trip — destinations, flights, stays, and activities. For things like booking and check-ins, our travel advisors can help you through the process and make sure everything is taken care of.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m the Founding Designer at Cura!
For me, the biggest design challenge was making travel planning feel simple when everything behind the scenes is anything but.
Flights, stays, transfers, activities, preferences, documents, last-minute changes, there’s a lot to manage. We wanted Cura to bring all of that together without making the experience feel overwhelming.
There’s definitely still a lot of room for improvement, and we’re constantly iterating based on what our users tell us. Every piece of feedback helps us make the experience better.
Give Cura your hardest trip and tell us what works, what doesn’t, and what you’d love to see next. ✈️
