Making AI travel plans visual

I m planning a world trip in a few months and wanted a simple way to map out my route and discover interesting experiences along the way.

I tried Google Maps (too map-focused), several travel planning apps (too clunky), and even spreadsheets (confusing and dull). None of them could easily show trip stops and activities on a map while also helping with discovery, planning, and sharing in one place.

I got tired of juggling ChatGPT and Google Maps while traveling, so I built an AI tour guide app.

Last November, my wife and I visited Prague - it was my first time there. I wanted to see all the must-visit spots and experience the classic highlights.

I opened ChatGPT and asked it to build an itinerary based on places near me. It worked surprisingly well, and I found myself constantly switching between ChatGPT and Google Maps throughout the trip.

But as the days went by, something felt inefficient. I kept scrolling through the itinerary, asking to rearrange stops, adjusting plans because it was raining or because we were tired, and double-checking opening hours and directions. ChatGPT was helpful - but it didn t feel seamless. I kept thinking: this should be much easier.
