We are announcing the launch of Airial Travel’s open-to-all beta version for desktop today. Airial is your personal travel agent with AI superpowers which makes planning and booking trips as easy as dreaming them up. https://t.co/qpJbVw6xWD

Me and Sanjeev co-founded Airial Travel a year ago to solve a problem we faced repeatedly. Being avid travelers living in the US with our families in India, we were traveling for several months a year and spending multiple days planning and booking each trip. Hours and hours of research, browsing, watching videos, form-filling, spreadsheets, refinements etc. At the end of the process in most cases, we just booked because we were exhausted and wanted to get it over with. As we talked to people and read up about this, we realized that the scale and the intensity of this problem is stunning - hundreds of millions of trips are booked online every year and planning each of them takes over five hours on average.

Our vision “Just imagine your trip, and Airial it!” stems from our ultimate wish as travelers - AI that can figure out all the intricacies of trip planning for you - hotels, activities, flights, trains, transits, deals, date options, restaurants, interests, research, travel videos and everything else.

Our defining features originate from the core beliefs that Airial is built on:

📅 Detailed intricately crafted plans: Attention to detail makes trip plans incredible. Airial plans trips in a level of detail that is simply unmatched, taking care of hundreds of common sense constraints across thousands of variables in seconds.

🚀 From Reels to Itineraries: TikTok / IG reels to Trips is work that millions do manually. We now enable all this in a click. This is the intersection of the two big trends in travel - AI and Socials.

🏖️ Personalized Planning: Travel portals today are one-size-fits-all. We plan trips tailored to your specific interests - architecture tours, scenic hikes or samurai sword fighting lessons!

👆 Actionable Itineraries: Just having a chatbot pick out one combination for you isn’t practically useful. Which was the last trip you planned that didn’t need any refinement? Every decision Airial makes for you is changeable via chat or UI controls.

🌎 Discovery in context: As you plan your trip, Airial gives you the tools to discover incredible ideas and expert advice specific to your itinerary and interests which can be instantly imported into your trip.

Now you can “Just imagine your trip and Airial it!”.

Are people just realizing that after a few weeks of meetings via @zoom_us you may also need @SlackHQ if you need to do work?!?!

Slack + Zoom = basic resilience for every organization STARTING NOW.

I am living through my third “reset” in Silicon Valley. Reputations are built in hard times, not the easy times. If you shake a hand, sign your name - stand strong, or your word is no good. Otherwise you are a transient that only wanted the easy take. And you should move on.

@sahilshah91 I’ve realized the same while filling forms and have resigned to accepting it as a useful archive, sometimes deliberately adding to it.

Great conversation with our London drivers this week - Top reason they like to drive: flexibility - can log on and log off anytime they want. Top complaint: London is a complex city and we can improve our routing. Vision is fine but details make or break you. #customerobsessed
