Verd: AI trip-plan checks for visa, connection, and border risks

Verd is a new AI-powered travel-plan checker that focuses specifically on visa requirements, flight connection risks (e.g., minimum transit times, missed-layover cascades), and border-entry issues. Unlike general travel apps (TripIt, Google Trips) or booking platforms, Verd targets the bureaucratic and logistical failure points that can derail an itinerary — especially relevant for travelers from the Global South, digital nomads, or anyone juggling multiple passports/visas. The service appears to scan flight data and visa policies to flag risks before departure, filling a gap where airlines and aggregators typically only warn about very basic document requirements at check-in.
