Show HN: Planit Earth – Your AI-Powered Travel Planner

6 points| dh2013 | 2 years ago |planitearth.travel

Greetings Hacker News family! I'm excited to share with you the first version of our AI-powered travel planner.

I'm a digital nomad/tech geek who loves traveling but admittedly am lazy about trip planning, so I created a tool built on ChatGPT that could help me jump start that. I simply enter a destination, the # of days, a budget preference, and it spits out a full travel itinerary with highlighted points of interest.

The problem: Trip planning can be overwhelming and time consuming. While some may find excitement in planning, many folks are overwhelmed by the prospect of figuring out where to go and what to do once you arrive at your destination. The typically requires copious amounts of research in order to uncover the major attractions, determine their relative proximities, and weave everything together into an actionable travel itinerary. To complicate things, everyone has different preferences for the types of activities they would like to partake in.

The solution: Planit Earth aims to help travelers shortcut this process by leveraging the power of AI to generate personalized itineraries with just a click. The vision over time is for Planit Earth to become the go-to resource for your trip planning needs.

Look forward to hearing your thoughts!

This is really cool, good job on the release! I love how it gives a time and price estimate. I'm currently in the process of building an itinerary for a couple cities overseas, so this will be fun to generate ideas with.

It would be a lot more helpful if I could input where in the city I'll be staying, and/or which airport I'll be arriving/departing from so that I have a better idea about travel effort/time for each destination.

Thank you for the thoughtful feedback! Helping travelers optimize their routes based on points of arrival/departure and lodging makes a lot of sense and is certainly something that we'll work to incorporate in the future.

Would you be interested in becoming one of our beta testers as we're trying out new features?
