Post Description

If you’re like me, you thought this should have been a solved problem around the GPT3.5 era. Here we are with 5.6 sol and AI still babbles on with irrelevant travel advice.

The missing piece has been travel context. You share context for your code, your healthcare, your finances, all the things. But sharing all the context that shapes you as a traveler is really challenging.

Gondola allows you to finally share your travel context - making it instantly available to any AI client. It’s loyalty aware, and can give you real time flight, hotel, and rental car recs, and solve hard problems like:

@Gondola fetch my travel context and tell me who I am as a frequent traveler. What’s my favorite seat on an airplane and how many flights have I flown across each carrier?

@Gondola Show me my upcoming trips and tell me where I may be able to save money, earn more points, or rebook smarter.

@Gondola Find me a hotel in London August 10–12 that I would like. Fetch my member rates, compare cash vs points, and factor in my current loyalty balances, elite status, and transfer partner

You can add to other clients here: https://gondola.ai/mcp

Let me know what you think!

Built and shipped an iOS app from my phone while traveling Japan

The real stunt here isn't the phrasebook — it's the developer workflow: a never-sleeping Mac + SSH + persistent shells to trigger remote TestFlight builds while living out of a backpack. The app is practical (offline, pre-generated ElevenLabs audio, dynamic-number phrases, JLPT kanji and one‑time IAP), so the demo isn't vaporware — it's a neat example of shipping under extreme constraints rather than a novel product idea.
