Back in March, Airial launched on Product Hunt and landed the top spot as #1 Product of the Day.
We didn’t expect hundreds of travelers to show up overnight, upvote, share, and leave comments that all echoed the same thing:
Planning a trip is a mess — and Airial is finally doing something about it.
That win validated what we already knew: people are inspired by travel content, but stuck when it comes to turning those ideas into a real trip. Too many tabs, too many tools, and not enough time to figure out how it all fits together.
Why It Mattered
The Product Hunt spotlight wasn’t about hype. It confirmed that the problem we set out to solve is real — and not easily articulated by users until they feel it.
Airial doesn’t give you another list of generic recommendations.
It takes your travel inspiration — the TikToks, blog posts, saved spots, and wishlist ideas — and turns them into a trip. It customizes those trips to your preferences, as you pivot and evolve your ideas – Airial adapts the trip around you, altering transit and accommodation guidance to always fit your trip desires. Its not just a nice UI on a chatbot. Our approach combines the creativity and world knowledge of large language models for inspiration with the hardcore reasoning of constrained optimizers and dependency graphs for logistics.
Not just flights and hotels, but the actual logistics of getting around, seeing the right things at the right times, and doing it in a way that fits your pace and preferences.
What We’re Building Now
Since March, we’ve been focused on turning that early momentum into real improvements. Here’s what’s on deck:
- Support for age specific travel and family planning
- Better transit integration — trains, taxis, and beyond
- Smarter personalization logic so plans match your travel style
- Trip planning based on desired activity level (Relaxed vs Busy) + optimizing partially booked trips
- And a mobile friendly version
Thank You
To everyone who supported us during that launch — thank you. Whether you upvoted, tested the tool, or told a friend, it helped push us forward.
We’re still a small team, but we’re building something big: a trip planner that actually works the way you think, scroll, and explore.
If you haven’t tried Airial yet, now’s a great time to see what we’ve been working on.
