#2LLMs are stellar for trip planning. They can spit out a lot of potential options for a country or region.
I just add all the suggestions to a map and then plan way around them. Also doing some manual research like opening times.
Why I love this? I really don't want to research too deep into my destinations as this kills a lot of the magic seeing seeing them in person.

#3My mother works in a travel agency and she says it's nice asking chatgpt for suggestions, however she takes suggestions the same way that a seasoned programmer would with chatgpt code: as a baseline. Even if more people are visiting the same city, chances are the things they wanna see might be different, and chatgpt just says the most famous things to visit when prompted "give me a trip plan for "

#4Best AI assisted trip planner I use is wanderlog.com. They have the right balance of using LLMs for idea generation, match the data to opening times via Google and travel times between locations. Lots of other nice (non-AI) features too.

Used it for a 120 day trip to Asia, but the UI got slow after adding more than 30 days of itinerary.
Its still okay to use, I just had to break the trip up into individual countries, but was hoping it wouldn't clog up so much.

That's just inferior to going on Tripadvisor and looking at the list of things to do.
Tripadvisor will have the same activities, but you have user reviews, pictures, you can book tickets, etc.

#7AI works just fine for trip planning. I use it to scrape Airbnb apartments descriptions and reviews. Common problems such cockroaches or slow internet, are not usually mentioned directly, but with indirect special wording, and LLM can find those very well.
Also scraping newest social posts and Tiktok videos is great way to find cool stuff.

This is very interesting, can you share a bit more about your methodology/setup?

I find it hard to see the advantage of scraping reviews versus just looking at the actual score.

Android app, USB dongle with HDMI capture card. Screenshot goes to OCR and LLM. There is a virtual USB HID mouse build on Arduino that clicks on links.
