Since then, I've been hard at work refining the AI, expanding features, and making travel planning even more effortless.
The Core Problem We Solve: Travel planning is often a fragmented and overwhelming process. Most people want a personalized trip that reflects their unique style, but don't have the hours to research and stitch it all together.
Planitly's Approach: We use AI to give you a detailed, personalized travel itinerary in minutes. Just tell us where you're going, for how long, and your general vibe (e.g., 'foodie adventure,' 'historical deep-dive,' 'family fun').
Key Improvements Since Last Time:
More Granular Personalization: Our AI now better understands and incorporates nuanced preferences (e.g., "I prefer walking tours over museums," "find me local cafes, not chains"). Enhanced Recommendation Quality: We've [improved our data sources / refined our AI algorithms] to provide even better suggestions for activities, restaurants, and hidden gems. [Mention another significant improvement, e.g., UI/UX overhaul, faster generation, TripAdvisor integration as highlighted on your homepage]. [Optional: Address specific past HN feedback if it led to a noticeable change]. Features Highlighted on Planitly:
Smart Trip Planning: AI-powered personalized itineraries. Easy Trip Sharing: Share plans with a link. Real-time Recommendations: (If this is a live feature during the trip). TripAdvisor Integration: Access trusted reviews directly. Our Model (Starter vs. Founder's Pass): Planitly offers a Starter (free) plan so you can experience the core planning magic. The Founder's Pass ([link to pricing/details]) is for users who want [e.g., unlimited plans, advanced features, to support our development]. It's currently a [one-time payment / subscription].
I'd Love Your Feedback On:
The overall user experience and ease of generating a plan. The quality and relevance of the AI-generated recommendations. Our pricing model and the value offered in the Founder's Pass. Any features you feel are missing for an AI travel planner. Excited to hear your thoughts!
