Show HN: Captain, AI Travel Agent

A software designer from Lagos has built Captain, an AI travel agent that operates as a Telegram bot, using Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 5 as its generalist model and specialist models for tasks like trip interpretation and voice transcription. Captain helps users explore itineraries, check live flight prices, and monitor booking times, and includes a visual workspace for reviewing and manipulating travel information. The project explores combining conversation, tools, durable workflows, and direct manipulation in a single product.

I’m a software designer from Lagos exploring conversational interfaces and frameworks for building agents. I made Captain to help with everyday travel planning. It can explore an itinerary, check live flight prices, or watch for the right time to book. Captain is a Telegram bot powered by a generalist model anthropic/claude-sonnet-5 , with specialist models handling workflows such as trip interpretation and voice transcription. It also includes a visual workspace where users can review the agent’s work and directly manipulate their travel information. I'm building the agent to explore how conversation, tools, durable workflows, and direct manipulation can come together in one coherent product.
