Hey PH! 👋
Thanks to @rajiv_ayyangar for the hunt!
I’m Tavishi, CEO and Founder of Tern. After over 1 year of hard work, today marks a significant milestone in our journey. We are excited to launch the new and improved Tern! (Also our first PH launch ever!!!!)
Tern is a product born from a need I consistently felt while traveling. I spent 3 years (2021-2023) slow traveling, living in 15 cities. Tern has been rigorously tested during this time. I went from weeks of travel planning to landing in a location and spending just 1 hour to plan 3 weeks+ of activities. We hope to provide you with this same value.
The name Tern is inspired by the Arctic tern, renowned for having the longest migratory pattern of any animal! Our mission is to empower the next generation of travelers by providing a flexible, collaborative, and intuitive travel planning experience. Tern is designed to adapt to your needs—use AI or don't, collaborate or plan on your own, and use Tern to inform people. Think of us as your go-to resource for travel, combining the best of a Google search with the organization of Google Docs or Notion. Everything is editable, and you can use the "Ask AI" chat to further refine your itinerary. We've already helped thousands of travelers, and are now starting to explore airport partnerships! (Feel free to reach out if you're curious.)
Unlike other products on the market, we are a small and lean team of builders (female-led, operated, and funded—a rare combo) with minimal funding used to build this product. If you’d like to support us, you can buy us coffee, book your hotel through our affiliate links, or even invest in our vision for airports!
Check out our website www.travelwithtern.com and feel free to DM me on Twitter @itstavishi, reach out to me at tavishi@travelwithtern.com, or comment below with any questions. We appreciate all feedback!
We’re incredibly proud of what we've built and can’t wait for you to experience the fun of planning with Tern! Your support means the world to us, and thank you for being part of our story.
Cheers,
Tavishi
@chinmay_chandak1 Thank you!! Glad to hear the recommendations are well suited. The UI credit goes to @rabani_k, and animations/graphics are done by our very own @lytran!!
@tavishigupta liked the designs of the product and the way itenaries are been presented.
Kudos for the launch!!Appreciate the efforts of the whole team.
Collaboration with friend is something that will be very helpful. :)
Are you planning to focus on some specific countries/region(s) in the start?
@semanser Thank you! And yes! You will see a share button on the top-right of your itinerary. You can add as many collaborators or just share your itinerary with the provided link. Anyone with the link can view the itinerary regardless of if they have an account, but collaborators will need to sign up.
Hey @tavishigupta
Tern is a smart travel helper. It quickly creates a custom travel plan for you in under a minute. You can change it, share it with friends, and see your whole trip on a map. Tern also uses AI to give you helpful travel tips.
Congrats on the launch Tavishi!! If there's anyone I think about who's a traveler it's Tavishi and it's so cool how you built a product in a space you understand very well :) I love the UX and how thoughtful you crafted all the features. Can't wait for my next trip when Tern makes it so much easier!
Congrats on the launch @tavishigupta!! 🚀 I remember using Tern when I was planning my trip to Lisbon a few months ago and loved the itinerary that was created for me. I probably saved a couple of hours by not doing this myself! Keep it up and good luck!
This sounds amazing! Your journey of slow traveling really adds such a unique touch to Tern. I love the concept of personalized planning that feels flexible and collaborative! Can't wait to test it out. The Arctic tern inspiration is super cool too! Congrats on the PH launch! Excited to see where Tern goes from here! @tavishigupta
Congrats on the launch @tavishigupta & Tern team. Excited to see how far Tern is reaching and grateful to have started this journey with you back in 2021 :))
@luisfmc So grateful to have had you on the team when we were merely just a travel editor in late 2022. Thanks for all of your hard work, and excited to keep our product alive!!!
So exciting for Tern to officially launch!! I've been following you guys for the last year and using the product for my travels along the way. The product has seen an amazing journey as it transformed into the buttery experience that it is today.
Can't wait to see how it keeps evolving! Big congrats to @tavishigupta and the team!
I was recommended Tern by a close friend almost a year ago and I must say I was very impressed by the quality of recommendations. I am typically quite skeptical of AI based assistants but this felt like a much more personalized experience that took my peculiarities into consideration. The fact that it is so easy to use and navigate makes it even better. Big kudos to the Tern team and I’m looking forward to seeing what’s next.
Wowww congrats!!! It looks awesome and I'm excited to try it out for planning my next trip! Love how it covers every aspect of a good trip from booking flights to planning activities with friends & families. And nice touch with how it plans based on your travel personality!
Congratulations on the launch of Tern, Tavishi and team!
I’m particularly impressed by the idea to explore airport partnerships and your mission to empower the next generation of travelers. The idea of having a go-to travel resource that adapts to individual needs is exactly what modern travelers need.
The moment we've all been waiting for is here! We are so excited for you all to try out Tern. It’s been a wonderful journey building it, and we can’t wait to see how you all use and enjoy it.
Congrats on the launch @tavishigupta & team! I know there have been tons of AI travel assistance being built but I really like how Tern's approach is as a collaborative travel hub for your plans. It really feels like the evolution of the Google Docs and Notes that friends share with each other. Excited to see the reception and how Tern evolves!
Thank you @gabe! Maintaining the flexibility of a web editor, while improving recommendations with AI has definitely been a design challenge. Excited to hear everyone's feedback here!
