📌Hi Product Hunters! 🚀
I'm Oscar, part of the Guide founding team. We’re thrilled to be launching on Product Hunt and can’t wait to get your feedback!
Problem: 🤔
Travel planning can be a real struggle and time-consuming process. As avid travelers ourselves, we understand the frustration of having countless tabs open, spending hours on research, and not always getting the best recommendations. We wanted to address these pain points.
Solution: ✅
Guide uses AI and Lonely Planet data to generate highly customizable trip itineraries in seconds.
Guide is your all-in-one travel tool: offering the convenience of generating a comprehensive itinerary quickly, seamlessly organizing all trip-related information, and the ability to invite friends and family to collaborate, customize, and edit the itinerary together.
How is Guide different?
Many AI travel planners only offer chat-based experiences or generic recommendations that may not be open. Here's how we're different:
👌 Convenience: Guide creates a great starting point for your itinerary in seconds. It recommends high quality places that would have taken you hours and dozens of open tabs to find.
💎 Quality: we check all our recommendations with reputable sources, such as Lonely Planet, to ensure that Guide’s tips are open and delightful.
✏️ Co-pilot: our AI chatbot acts as your own virtual travel agent. It can answer questions about your itinerary and help you edit it.
🧑🤝🧑 Group planning: if you’re traveling with a group, planning can be a headache. You can add your tripmates to your Guide trip and plan together. It’s like a Google Docs for travel planning.
🛏️ Booking: we’ve partnered with Expedia so you can research and book your stay without ever leaving Guide. You’ll also be able to book tours and purchase entry tickets to museums, parks, and more.
We hope Guide will save you valuable time and help you create amazing travel plans and memories.
🙏 Thanks for your support

@oscaracullen Tested for a 5-day trip in London. Here are my comments:
- The AI has no notion of distances and make you cross London from North to South and East to West multiple times per day, making the itinerary impractical
- I am suggested to go from Camden Arts Centre to a Beauty Spa & Nail Salon for lunch (1h 2min drive away) on Day 2. Seeing this kind of results will have a significant part of users lose trust in the product
- I have tried to export the itinerary as PDF so I could share it with you in case you are interested, but the PDF only includes the Budget and Packing List sections
- When you buy a Lonely Planet guidebook, you get a comprehensive view of your destination. It will take time to read through the book, it's a physical product and you can't book directly from it but at least you are left with the feeling that you can make informed decisions. I don't get the same feeling with Guide.com, at least not at this stage!
Happy to provide more feedback if you are interested!

Hoory AI@oscaracullen Great job, and good luck
How you ensure companies that fake reviews (by bot) will removed, because as a user for me it's important to see only real reviews

@benoit_collin thank you for this feedback! If possible, could you invite me to your trip so I can view it? You can do so by hitting the "Invite" button on the top of your screen. You can send it to support@guide.com
Re: distances - we're working on fixing this and should have an update live over the next few weeks. PDF should be fixed today!

Flex-Worthy TemplatesIs this trip planner limited to only the most famous places to visit on earth or can we search for any place here?

As I write the Everything AI in Travel newsletter I've tried pretty much all the AI travel planners that have come out. I use the same trip for all of them to be able to compare - a trip I actually did with my family last July in Borneo. Tried it on Guide.com and there were a few issues. First up Borneo in Malaysia wasn't an option? Happy to provide private feedback to the team if they want some more detail.

@discover_drives thanks for trying out Guide! Good catch on Borneo. At the moment we'd have to search for a specific city in that island - working on improving this though! Would love to chat to get more detailed feedback. What's the best way to reach you?

Congrats Oscar!
A cool tool - collecting it.
Just putting what I understood and liked benefits
1. No more multiple tabs for planning
2. Lonely planet support to give right places
3. Guidebot reduces searches and gives more details
Added to my collections.
Two apps from same industry has been launched today, but used for different reasons.
