This AI tool can plan your next vacation

Travel startup Mindtrip unveiled "Start Anywhere," an AI-powered tool that can build a trip itinerary with as little as a single photo as a starting point

Aug 1, 2024

Mindtrip CEO Andy Moss tells Axios that Start Anywhere's big advantage is that it combines the broad instant-response power of generative AI with the company's specific travel data — as opposed to simply using a general-use chatbot to build an itinerary.

Key takeaways

For example, Mindtrip is smart enough to know that a once-popular restaurant is closed, so it won't include that in an itinerary, Moss says;

"That's where AI is heading — blending this more real-time data and the knowledge base with the conversational piece;”

"If I'm standing in front of a cathedral in Milan or whatever, I'm much more tied into where my GPS is and what photos I'm taking, but I still want the assistant to be there," Moss says, "because I might want to actually find something serendipitously."
