How To Use AI For Travel 

Whether you are traveling for work or leisure, AI is increasingly useful for everything from research and booking through to navigating and enjoying your destination. 

Personal Travel

AI tools can help in personal travel from a weekend escape to your honeymoons. ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, trained on vast amounts of internet data, can suggest destinations, create itineraries, and even translate languages. For example, AI tools can recommend honeymoon destinations in Mexico and the Seychelles based on your preferences, suggest specific activities like visiting a stingless-jellyfish sanctuary, and even help with language practice or live translation via an earbud. Google's Immersive View in Google Maps uses AI to provide a 3D model of your destination, incorporating weather and traffic data, which can be useful for planning day trips.

Making Bookings  

For booking flights and accommodations, Gemini integrates with Google Flights and Hotels to search for the best deals within your budget. This can be a time-saving alternative to browsing multiple websites. You can even ask Gemini to export your travel plan to Google Sheets for easy sharing with friends and family.

AI Travel Agents

Another option is to use an AI-powered trip planning platform like Mindtrip for a comprehensive trip planning experience. The startup raised $12M this year to leverage AI to improve user experience. Mindtrip allows you to plan and organize your trip in one place. You can chat with it for personalized travel recommendations based on your preferences. It lets you view photos, reviews, and maps of potential destinations. You can save your favorite items and add them to your trip plan. Mindtrip also makes it easy to collaborate on trips with friends and family by allowing you to co-create an itinerary. Finally, the platform even helps manage travel expenses and budget by providing you with a central location to upload and organize receipts. 

Business Travel Agents

Business travelers can also benefit from specialized AI agents like Otto. Otto learns your preferences and automates the planning, booking, and on-the-road support. It integrates with service providers like Spotnana and Direct Travel, streamlining the whole experience. Workgrounds is another startup using automation to streamline the process of sourcing, negotiating, and managing hotel room blocks for corporate group bookings.

While AI agents for managing the entire travel booking processes are still developing, these AI tools offer a glimpse into the exciting future of travel planning.
