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? ✈️

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Priyansh, Founding Engineer at Cura!
What is Cura?
Cura is an AI-native travel companion that acts as your personal concierge, building full trips around you from a single conversation.
How it works under the hood
Built on a multi-agent architecture where specialized agents handle distinct tasks: itinerary drafting, flight search, hotel lookup, activity curation, and live hotel calling.
What it does
Builds a day-by-day itinerary from a destination and a few preferences, with real priced options at every step.
Searches and compares live flights and stays, not cached suggestions.
Pins the whole trip onto an interactive map so the journey is visual from day one.
Turns your finalized trip into a shareable cinematic passport film.
Generates a polished PDF itinerary you can carry offline.
Why I built it
Travel planning is broken: scattered across a dozen tabs, full of stale recommendations, and stripped of the joy it should have.
Cura collapses the entire planning stack into one conversation, backed by production-grade agents doing the heavy lifting.

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.
Cura
@ragsyme Yes, the whole process is broken. Preferences will become a great way to ease up this process

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I’m Alto, Senior Mobile Engineer at Cura.
I’ve been working on bringing the Cura experience to mobile, and what excites me most is that we’re not just building another travel planner - we’re trying to make the entire journey from “I want to travel” to “I’m on my trip” feel seamless.
From personalized planning and live options to having your entire trip in one place, there’s a lot packed into Cura.
Really excited to put it in your hands.
Give Cura your hardest trip and let us know what you think! ✈️
@alto_b Hey Alto, I was trying to search the app on the App Store, but I couldn't find it. Is is available on web only for now?
Cura
@divya_kothari1 Yes! The web version is live now. We’re currently getting the iOS and Android apps ready and should be launching on the App Store and Play Store soon.
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.
Cura
@garyshenk Yes, we have built this around budget provided by users
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!
Cura
@anushanath We've launched with planning and booking (human in the loop). Agents around trip management coming up soon!
When I plan for trips, it takes me half a day to research planes to visit and hotels to stay in. An AI travel agent that does it for me would be amazing, so the only step for planners will be the initial input and review at the end. Good luck!
Cura
@ankur_jeswani Thanks, Ankur! That’s exactly the kind of friction we’re trying to remove - cutting down the hours spent researching flights, stays, and things to do, while still keeping you in control of the final plan. Appreciate the support!
Many congratulations to Shubham and the team on launching Cura! :)
I know Shubham from our @Shadow launch, and when he shared the pivot, I had a feeling the team had thought it through carefully.
Cura looks like an excellent fit for busy travellers like me with specific preferences... front-row seats, hotels with Jain food, trips capped at three days, and more. I tried it for my upcoming November trip and really liked that the entire planning experience is embedded in one app, so there’s no need to juggle multiple tabs. Well done! 👏
Cura
@rohanrecommends Thank you so much, Rohan! Really appreciate you giving Cura a try and sharing such detailed feedback.
Cura
@rohanrecommends Rohan, thanks for supporting us!
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. ✈️
