I was recently planning a trip when I stumbled upon some nifty AI tools that can assist me in quickly and effortlessly devising my travel plans.

AI is a game-changing technology that is impacting every industry, including travel. By working in tandem with humans, AI tools can help us make better choices and have made planning trips easier.

Here are some AI tools that you can use for your next trip:

🔥 KAYAK

KAYAK is an AI-powered platform that helps in booking flights, hotels, and car rentals. They also offer the ability to create an itinerary that can be easily shared with multiple people through a single link.

Flights

KAYAK uses a price prediction model and analyzes the probability of the flight’s price rising or falling in the next seven days based on historical data. In addition to this, you can also set up price alerts for the selected routes.

Hotels

KAYAK allows us to create price alerts that will keep us updated about any changing prices of the hotels, based on our search. In addition to this, they display prices of hotels from various platforms and show the cheapest deals on the top.

🔥 Tripper

Tripper Guide is revolutionizing the travel industry using AI-generated guides. You can generate a guide either for a single city or if you want it altogether, they also help to create custom guides for multi-city trips!

For my Vietnam trip, their 9-day guide for Vietnam (Hanoi > Da Nang > Ho Chi Minh) amazed me with its coverage of distinctive markets, heritage sites, and recommended food spots.

Their website’s seamless user experience provided instant feedback. Upon completion, they promptly emailed my custom guide, eliminating the need to wait on their site.

I also liked their use of appealing illustrations, google reviews, images, and summaries covering details about each place.

🔥 TripIt

TripIt is a travel organizer and itinerary manager that provides real-time updates about flight schedules, cancellations, and gate changes.

As soon as you make a booking, forward it to TripIt, and they will add it to your itinerary. Moreover, they allow users to access all the details both offline and online.

You can get access to their premium features by using upgrading to PRO which will provide you with features like flight status alerts, refund alerts, fare drops, tracking all your points in one place, and more.

🔥 ChatGPT

ChatGPT is AI-powered and uses natural language processing. I asked it to create a 6 days detailed itinerary for me based on my preferences:

Tell ChatGPT your destination, travel dates, budget, type of vacation, what will you skip, local customs, weather, or anything else.

If you are not happy, you can ask for improvements and personalize the entire itinerary as per your needs.

🔥 Hopper

Hopper uses AI to analyze flight prices and predict future trends and provides optimal booking time and additional offers. It can provide personalized recommendations based on user preferences and budgets.

Perfect for finding the best deals on flights, and also can be used to get real-time updates about flights.

🔥 HelloGbye

HelloGbye (aka Amgine) is an AI-powered product that uses natural language processing and provides automated booking solutions for business travel.

🔥 Other Most Popularly used apps

TripAdvisor, Expedia, Google Maps, Airbnb, Skyscanner, and Google Assistant are some of the most popularly used apps. All of them are using AI and machine learning to personalize their results.

AI tools are now becoming an essential tool in every industry, and travel planning is no exception for it. Their ability to provide quick and personalized assistance to users have made our life easier and more efficient than before.

We might come across some rough edges while using these tools, but as AI technology advances, we can expect more such tools in the future that will make our lives more efficient.
