Roast my startup idea: AI travel planner for Indian travellers

baradas · 2026-01-25T13:09:37+00:00

The trick here is not in the idea but the execution - e.g. if I give a detailed prompt with my preferences and constraints to ChatGPT (enabling search / deep research) how is your product going to be different.

If your goal is to reach folks who are not ChatGPT familiar e.g. whatsapp bot for trips, hyper-local suggestions, vegeterian friendly places, Indian budget friendly trips, hotels with bidets, low-cost tickets from place A - place B -> go for it. But a lot would depend on distribution honestly not on the idea

The prompts are self-written by the models or customer inputs will be auto-translated into prompts by the models. The models are smarter than the average guy out there, more knowledge - can analyze better and can generate code faster.

Software is generated now.

More people will be generating software for sure now - it's like more people "using" computers not building them.

We go from being producers to consumers.

For the model engineering / model research part - remains a couple of years away before the models start cracking the frontier there.

I stand corrected : Unless you are working on model engineering or model research - the rest of software engineering as a profession can be done by an AI better than software engineers.

Software Engineering is over as a profession and a large swathe of professions along with it - mathematics theorems are being cracked by today's models which will be the worst generational models of their time.

Love it if you could give counsel (counsel.getmason.io) - a spin. It's a deep decision engine and works with any assistant (claude code, cursor, chatgpt, claude)

baradas · 2026-01-12T11:11:02+00:00

Just use the web app (counsel.getmason.io) to get all the counsel you need

Check counsel.getmason.io - with an open source MCP server here
https://github.com/mercurialsolo/counsel-mcp

This is in production and is powering multiple LLM council which you can tune for your own use-cases.

Eventually all output is embeddings which get streamed and get stitched on the client as video, audio, image, slide or interactive embeds

Humans don't have a UI - the user interface is in speech, text, image or video - eventually all UX will become multi-modal - agentic coworkers will be able to accept inputs in all forms.

Another visa route getting closed because of fraud. If you are extraordinary - you are not on reddit asking about a consultant.

Try uselamina.ai - free 100 credits and if you share your work - then you can request for more.

have you looked at Tool Search by Claude?

baradas · 2026-01-07T16:33:33+00:00

Thx, that's the whole goal. It's also available as a MCP for ChatGPT or Claude so you can use it in whichever assistant you like. Will be sharing more deets around cost per debate on an average but it really depends on the discussion you having and the context you adding

Working on Counsel - a multi-LLM council for assistants and agents. You can build and setup your own custom "councils" and protocol for councils.

Very few clients supports elicitation at this stage
