Did you know that you can use ChatGPT to plan a trip, complete with a travel itinerary?

Yes, it’s a breeze — and I recently planned my whole trip to Bali, Indonesia with my Fiance using ChatGPT. I was literally amazed by its capabilities.

To help you with this, I have put together a step-by-step guide on how to ask ChatGPT for help with your travel planning. I have also included the output that ChatGPT gave me using the prompts listed in this guide.

So, without further ado, pack your suitcase and open your laptop as we do this.

Before we start, remember these pro tips…

• It’s better to use ChatGPT alongside other productivity tools to maximize efficiency.
• Use a handful of budget-friendly productivity and AI tools in conjunction with ChatGPT, such as Notion-AI(AI-Everything app), Miro(Free Visual Content Creation from text/chat tool), Quillbot(Grammarly’s more affordable and better version), and SaneBox(Free Email Management tool), which I personally use.
• These tools are not only cost-effective but will also significantly boost your productivity, enabling you to excel in your day-to-day tasks.
• Not happy with the output? Tweak these prompts slightly and try again, or ask it to improve its answer.
• Good prompting skills will always benefit you, whether working with ChatGPT or any other LLM/Generative AI tool.

NOTE: To add more value and as a USP of my blog, at the end of this blog post, I have designed and attached a cheat sheet/carousel of the ChatGPT Prompts discussed here for you to use and save, share on LinkedIn with your friends and colleagues.

Here is the Bonus tip for you all:

1) MIRO

Bonus Tip 1 — Miro is an AI-native app designed to streamline the process of brainstorming, studying, organizing, note-taking and presenting ideas.

Create stunning visual content(mind-maps, flowcharts, presentations etc) simply by chatting.

Miro helps convert your notes and structured essays into beautiful mind maps. It can create an easy-to-understand visual presentation from any idea or prompt.

Just enter a prompt, and you get a beautiful chart of your choice amongst the 2500+ free concept map templates. It makes me and my team understand everything faster,more efficient, and save a tonne of time.

I use it to create stunning mind maps, visual brainstorming, creating flowcharts and other presentations from my unorganized notes and ideas especially for my work, and studies.

This app has completely revolutionized the way I take notes and record my ideas, as someone who enjoys taking notes and jotting down every idea, this app is truly a game-changer.

It is another value-for-money tool that is dirt cheap compared to the amazing features it provides. Trust me, you will absolutely fall in love with this app’s simplicity, user experience, and ease of use.

2)QUILLBOT:

Bonus Tip 2: One great AI Productivity Writing tool I recently started using for day-to-day writing and tasks such as plagiarism checker, grammar checker, QuillBot-Flow , QuillBot AI Content Detector, Paraphraser, Summariser, and translator is QuillBot .

It is a great paraphrasing tool and can easily beat all the AI-content detectors out there.

I wanted to try something similar and cheaper than Grammarly(12$ per month).

I took up its yearly premium for around $4/month (58% off) . The price was literally dirt cheap compared to other writing tools I have used in the past.

I personally love QuillBot Flow, and the whole set of amazing writing tools it offers.

Personally, it’s UI and UX is very simple and easy to use. So I just wanted to share this awesome, productive tool with you all. Do check it out and use it in your day-to-day writing tasks.
