How a trip works

From the first idea to the last euro paid back: follow Peter, Paul and Mary island-hopping through the Cyclades. Names, dates and prices are made up, everything else is exactly what you'd see with your own trip.

Plan

Put the trip together, on your own or as a group.

1.1

Start with one sentencewith the AI assistant

Describe the trip in your own words, and the AI assistant suggests name, destination, dates and currency. You check the draft and save it. Free for everyone, and if you'd rather fill in the form yourself, that's one click away.

1.2

Bring your travel companions

Invite by email, share a link, or let people scan a QR code when you're together. Everyone on the trip can add, edit and tick things off, and the organizer badge shows who's running the show. People you've traveled with before can be starred as favorites and invited with one click next time.

1.3

Drop in your bookingswith the AI assistant

Enter stays, flights, ferries and rental cars by hand, or hand the AI assistant a booking confirmation, an itinerary or a screenshot. It turns them into stops, bookings and costs, and you tick what gets added. Nothing is saved without your OK. The AI assistant inside a trip is an optional extra.

Watch it come together

Every stop lands on the map, with stays and transport in between. A green line means the connection is booked, and each tab shows how much is already done. Take the route along as a KML or GPX file, into Google My Maps or your offline maps.

1.5

AI suggestions for your destinationwith the AI assistant

Once the AI assistant is unlocked, the organizer sees what matters for the destination, matched to their nationality: visa, vaccinations, mandatory insurance. The points come from the German Federal Foreign Office's travel advice and each one links its source. The ones you pick land on the checklist in one click.

Once the trip is planned, your dashboard shows it under "Up next": how many days are left, how you're getting there (everyone sees their own flight) and what's still open on your checklist.

One tap on "Add to calendar" and your flights, ferries, stays and open checklist items appear in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar or Outlook. If someone changes a booking, your calendar follows. You only see the legs you're on yourself. Prefer paper? The whole trip is also available as a PDF, with route, flights and costs.

Everyone stays in the loop
