The problem
Planning a multi-day trip typically means juggling ten browser tabs and guessing at pacing. Travelers know the vibe they want but not the hour-by-hour. The challenge was to turn a short prompt into a thoughtful, editable itinerary that feels handcrafted — not spat out by a chatbot.
The solution
A conversational front-end that captures intent in under 30 seconds, backed by AI that generates a structured itinerary with context for each stop. Everything is editable: swap a café, add a museum, shift the pace. The interface stays calm and editorial — the AI is the engine, not the aesthetic.
