- 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.
Having one place to track issues like visas (even if it’s just the timing around them), and tax residency is pretty good.
How much time to allow to get to/from the airport is a big deal. In Jakarta it sometimes takes 45 min, and other times 4 hours depending on time of day, day of the week, and weather. I’ve missed flights I thought were unmissable.
If air quality is bad you might book a hotel with more amenities indoors. The weather helps me decide what to pack.
Currencies are helpful. It would be good to know how much cash I need for taxis, etc.
Depending on your budget, choosing local eSIMs is much cheaper than global roaming ones.
Now do all of that for several destinations. I see tons of potential, especially if they add local knowledge.
For example, here is how the flight search is going to work (spoiler "no search at all") - https://x.com/globallybased/status/1929961280594473270
