Where we are at now: ✨ Today, we are starting with a tech-enabled itinerary planner capable of creating hyper-personalized day-to-day plans for travelers around the world. But we are not stopping here! Our overarching mission is to move from a world where travel planning is stressful & time-consuming, toward a new era where the travel planning process is easy, quick, & personalized. & Where we are headed! 🚀 We are continuing to refine our recommendation engine as we plan more trips to fuel The Baryl Studio🗺, our fully automated itinerary planner powered by AI (currently in development!). This will be achieved through an intelligent system that leverages collaborative filtering to make similar recommendations for similar travelers and is capable of finding the hard-to-find local gems in your destination. At scale, this becomes an extremely powerful tool that can guarantee excitement & memorable experiences for all travelers wherever they go. That’s why we especially appreciate all your feedback! When you travel with Baryl’s current tech-enabled itinerary planner, you are actually helping the development of a more powerful & affordable travel planning tool that will power the next generation of travel! Would love for you all to join us on our journey! ~Yuyang & The Baryl Team 🧡

@yuyang_zhang hey Yuyang and the Baryl #makers! Awesome idea and neat video! One thing came to my mind - maybe if you could offer, say, a 2-week free trial period, you would be able to get much more feedback. And once the users fall in love with your product, they'll be hooked and willing to pay :) I looked at it and thought: that's cool. But I need to pay before I am sure I really need it and it will be helpful..? Hmm... Also, curious what countries Baryl covers? I mean, if I go to a less common place than North America or Europe, will I still be able to get recommendations from Baryl?

@margarita_s88 Hi Margarita, appreciate your support & feedback! Regarding your second question, Baryl covers anywhere in the world right now (including very niche destinations 😉), since we are in our tech-enabled phase and the back-end research & planning process is semi-manual. Once we launch our Baryl Studio (fully automated), we will start off the first few months with major cities in the US and than expand to other cities, countries, and soon the less common hot spot destinations around the world! Also, you read our minds! I definitely agree that having a long usage period would bring more feedback, so for our next launch featuring our fully automated Baryl Studio, we will offer free trail periods for sure and we will offer an annual subscription option as well. This time around, we decided on the per trip model since we anticipate many people to have summer vacation plans in the near future (and many of our travelers also go on Baryl staycations near home!) As of right now, feel free to submit your Travel Personality Test without payment, and we'll have your preferences saved for when you'd like to travel! The Product Hunt exclusive discount is also valid for 2 full weeks, so if new travel plans pop up this month, let me know!

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I’m Alex, Co-Founder of Baryl. Thanks for the hunt, @5harath. We’re super excited to share Baryl, our hyper-personalized itinerary planner. 🎉 We started Baryl because we were frustrated with the state of travel planning. Nowadays, the expectations for travel experiences have skyrocketed while the tools to plan them have improved only marginally. Planning continues to be a messy, 10+ hour process that everybody does differently. Now, after interviewing 300 travelers, serving 208 more, and building a community of 2,500 travelers growing 30% MoM, we’ve figured out how to make recommendations at an 80% match rate and save travelers upwards of 10 hours of planning per trip. We're trying to change the status quo by becoming the first line of defense for travel planning. What happens when you use Baryl today: 🌟 1. Take our Travel Personality Quiz. Share your favorite cuisines, reasons for traveling, & any bucket list items you have for your upcoming trip. 2. Get excited! You’ll receive your Baryl itinerary with expert-written blurbs introducing each recommendation, all in one single unique web link sent to your inbox! 3. Customize as you please! If you’d like, chatting with our travel experts is one click away. @yuyang_zhang, @ericyan_g, & I have been working on Baryl for the past year, listening, learning, and iterating on our customer experience using feedback from our early adopters. There’s still so much more left to build, but we’re excited to present to you our high-touch, tech-enabled travel planning solution! We’d love to hear your thoughts — & of course, we’ll throw in an offer for people who want to try us out! Our next Product Hunt launch will be even better, so thank you in advance for all your feedback 🙏🏼 We’ll be online for the rest of the day reading & responding to your comments. We are always looking for ways to improve and refine our recommendations engine. Our goal is to create a world where everyone can experience travel to the fullest with personalized plans. We thank you for all your help on this journey. 🌎 ~ Alex & The Baryl Team 🧡 P.S. As a special Product Hunt exclusive discount, we’re offering 50% off your next Baryl trip using code: **PH50BARYL**! Whether it’s for business, weekend staycations, or a couples getaway, we’d love to plan your next trip and show you just how powerful our personalization is.

Super interesting product. I absolutely love exploring cities when I'm traveling and I try to keep the best restaurants on my route because I love trying out different cuisines. I'm sure this will help me find out some new places as opposed to the basic touristy ones. Great product! I'll definitely try it out during my next travel. Congratulations on the launch! 🚀

@t3hrabak Super appreciate the support, Tina! Crazy to think that Tripadvisor & Expedia are already 20+ years old... We believe there's so much more that can be done in this space 😼
