Endless Summer Lets You Generate A Fake Vacation

A new AI-powered app called Endless Summer lets users generate vacation photos… without ever actually going on vacation.
The Big (Fake) Picture: Americans aren’t great at taking time off — 46% of workers don’t use all their PTO, according to a Pew study — yet burnout rates remain among the highest in the world. In other words, we could all use an actual trip. Endless Summer at least wants to show you what you’re missing.
Behind The Photos: Meta Superintelligence Lab product designer Laurent Del Rey coded the app in his free time (free time he could’ve been using for a vacation, tbh).
The platform is simple — it features “a tiny camera preview button at the bottom of the screen” that you tap “to make an AI-generated ‘summer’ photo.”
Using Gemini’s Nano Banana image model, it creates vertical, vintage-style photos of you doing “vacation things” — sightseeing, dining outdoors, or lounging poolside.
The first six AI-generated photos are free, but then it’s paywalled at $3.99 for 30 images, $17.99 for 150, and $34.99 for 300.
There’s also an auto-generating “Room Service” feature that sends you two new vacation photos every morning.
Last Stop: When announcing the app on X, Del Rey joked that it’s for when “burnout hits and you need to manifest the soft life u deserve.” But it’s easy to imagine influencers repurposing it to curate fantasy trips to boost their feeds and brand deals. Ironically, that very hustle might give them the ability to actually travel.
And if you’ve seen the movie Not Okay, you know that “fake it ‘till you make it” approach can really backfire.
Next Trip: We wait with bated breath to see which company will be the first to offer employees a stipend for Endless Summer photos to offset their shrinking PTO benefits.
