Show HN: Captain, AI Travel Agent

Captain is an AI travel agent

Captain is an AI travel agent. It can help with general travel planning tasks, like exploring an itinerary, looking up live prices, or watching for when best to book a flight.

It includes a visual workspace to manage your trip that shows you what the agent is considering, lets you adjust preferences, and keeps the plan in view as you go.

Capabilities

Talks through any trip

Early ideas or firm plans — including trips months away. Ask in plain language and keep the conversation going as details change.

Looks up live prices

When you’re ready, Captain checks live flight data and helps you compare options without starting from a blank search form.

Organizes the plan

Cities, soft dates, events, and constraints stay in one place as the trip takes shape — from first sketch to booking prep.

Handles complex itineraries

One-way, round-trip, and multi-city — including soft windows like “before Wednesday” or “the first week of May.”

Remembers your preferences

Cabin, stop limits, budget, airlines you prefer or avoid — Captain uses them when ranking what it finds.

Watches for better options

Once you lock in the trip, Captain checks prices daily and alerts you only when something meaningfully changes.

Fares are provided by Duffel and may change or expire.

FAQs

How do I use Captain?

Open Captain on Telegram and talk about your trip in your own words — early ideas, cities, dates, constraints, or questions while you prepare. Voice notes work too.

What trips work best?

Any stage, from first sketch to booking prep. Complicated itineraries — multi-city routes, soft dates, events you need to hit — are a sweet spot, but you don’t need a finished plan to start.

Does Captain book flights?

No. It helps you plan and compare. You choose the itinerary and book yourself.
