Hi Everyone,

August 6th changes everything.

It will be the biggest day in Pangea's history.

We're officially launching our Summer 2026 Release on Product Hunt. This is by far our biggest release yet.

To celebrate, we're teaming up with Work Wanderers, Outsite, and dozens of other partners to bring the community out IRL… Around the World, Together.

On Thursday, August 6, Pangea members will gather for launch parties across 30+ countries on 6 continents. (Sorry Antarctica… maybe later this year when its warmer! 🥶)

This isn't just a product launch. It's a celebration of the people and community that helped build Pangea from day one, and I'd love for YOU to be part of it!

🤗 First, one small favor…

Product Hunt launches are powered by community. If you're excited about what we're building (and appreciate that we keep Pangea free to use!), we'd appreciate you creating a Product Hunt account ahead of the launch.

On launch day, only those with existing Product Hunt accounts will be able to support Pangea and help introduce our community to thousands of new travelers.

As a thank you, everyone who participates in our Product Hunt launch will receive free launch access to Pangea AI Pro!

It's our way of saying thanks for helping us reach this milestone together.

🥳 Then, celebrate with us: Around the World, Together.

We're already planning launch parties in 30+ countries, and we're not done yet. My goal is to have 50+ countries celebrating with us on August 6.

Our flagship event will be in Lisbon, Portugal 🇵🇹, hosted at Outsite, where I'll be celebrating in person. If you're planning to join us, be sure to RSVP early—I have a feeling this one will end up with a waitlist like our NYC meetup earlier this month!

Meanwhile, our team will be spread across the globe celebrating with you:

Alongside our core team, our ambassadors and partners will be hosting dozens of additional events around the world!

📲 🚀 What's in the Summer Release?

You'll have to wait until August 6 to see everything, but here's the preview.

This release includes dozens of improvements across Pangea, including a completely redesigned profile, richer past and future travel visualizations, improved performance & UX, plus: and the debut of Pangea AI.

We've intentionally been patient about AI. Rather than rushing to build another mediocre chatbot wrapper, we wanted to create something that genuinely makes travel easier.

Over the past several months, Martin, Shaalin and I have been working closely together to build an AI that holistically understands your travel world…not just what’s on the internet.

Pangea AI builds on Flaire’s $6M AI investment which we acquired last quarter, adding your Travel DNA, where your friends have been, where your network is traveling next, and trusted third-party content to help you:

  • Decide where to go next optimizing for friends, new countries, weather and more

  • Add trips and update your schedule with simple natural language

  • Discover tailored recommendations based on your Travel DNA & Flaire’s Place Genome, and;

  • Build & organize itineraries collaboratively with others on your trip

Every recommendation can be opened instantly in either Pangea Maps or Google Maps, making it easy to go from inspiration to action (no more copy / paste from AI to Google Maps… which is my #1 issue with existing tools!)

I've been using Pangea AI constantly the past few months, and it's quickly become one of my favorite parts of Pangea.

I can't wait for all of you to try it, and even more importantly, tell us how we can continue making it better as we keep building 🚀

👋 See you on August 6th!

This launch has been years in the making, and it wouldn't be possible without this incredible community.

Thank you to everyone who has tested early versions of Pangea, shared feedback, hosted events, and believed in what we're building.

And thank you to our entire team, and all of our partners, ambassadors, and meetup hosts who are helping make August 6 a truly global celebration!

So… where will you be on August 6th?

I hope it's with fellow travelers, whether that's in Lisbon with me, or at one of our launch parties somewhere else around the world.

I can't wait to celebrate this milestone with all of you.

See you soon!
