Hi PH — I'm Sorin, building Waypoint solo from London.
The honest version of why I built this: I spent an embarrassing amount of time before a trip to Lisbon clicking through AI-generated itineraries that all recommended the same four restaurants. None of them were wrong exactly — they were just assembled from the same pool of "popular places" and handed to me as if I'd never been anywhere before. I ended up ignoring the plan entirely and reverting to Google Maps and a frantic WhatsApp thread.
The problem isn't that AI can't plan trips. It's that these tools have no idea who you are, so they optimize for the average traveller — which is effectively no traveller.
The insight that changed my thinking was embarrassingly simple: your camera roll is already a detailed record of your taste. Every restaurant photo, every hotel lobby, every neighborhood you wandered into — it's all there. So instead of making you fill in a quiz, Waypoint scans your photos once on-device, builds what I call a Travel DNA profile, and uses that to shape every itinerary it generates. The more you plan, the more it compounds.
What you get: a full day-by-day trip with real venues, real ratings, and — this part matters to me — a reason for every pick. You can swap any item for an AI-suggested alternative that still matches your taste, no re-prompting required.
Pricing: free to try, $2.99/week or $59.99/year for unlimited trips, offline export, and the Travel DNA memory that compounds across trips. Seven-day free trial on the annual.
I've been using Waypoint for my own trips for a few months now, which is both a perk and a conflict of interest — so I'd genuinely love honest feedback from people who are harder to impress.
One question to leave you with: what's the trip your camera roll has been quietly suggesting you take?
