Is this a real product it just a AI-generated homepage with promise of one? (I haven’t signed up for early access).

I signed up. Every piece of functionality is "coming soon" as far as I can tell. I'm not sure what the purpose of putting it on Hacker News is other than to validate a product before it's built.

Seems to be a classic tarpit idea as well.

Let's hope they didn't actually waste money building this. Lets break this down.

- Travefy already does itineraries and has an API.

- Who needs SIM Activation? We all have virtual sims and global roaming.

- Visa submissions cannot be automated - tricky government websites.

- Local time, weather and air quality? iPhone does that.

- Idea for a destination? Ask Chatgpt

- Airline Check-in? Airlines have moved to auto-check-in

- Hotel Check-in? Front desk in most international hotels needs you to be present to show passport and credit card with PIN.

Nothing truly useful here. Do some more brainstorming.

Let me ask you how many tools do you use; how many bookings do you make and how much time do you spend on that in total if you go for a multi-city trip?

Yes, It is a real product. The solution is based on my own and other travellers' experience (I've been nomadic for 4 years). I deployed the early access last week to collect feedback - to see if my assumptions are good enough to continue. So not all features are available yet. But it's already in development.
