The pain point is real: travelers waste hours comparing tabs. But the space is crowded with incumbents like Kayak and Skyscanner. The AI angle is a genuine gap—no one offers native summarization. Hard part: distribution and trust. Users need to believe the AI is unbiased and accurate. What has to be true: you can get initial users through travel communities and SEO, and the AI actually saves time without hallucinations.
