## What is JourneyBay?

Stop building trips from tabs, forums and screenshots. JourneyBay is an AI Travel Engine that turns your chat, voice and bookings into one synced trip plan. Get a day-by-day route with real places, a map and practical info you can change anytime.

The trip you wanted, built by an engine — not a chatbot.

WHAT THE ENGINE DOES

It understands your message, finds places, checks if they are still open, recommends what fits your style, orders your day, builds the map, and keeps everything in sync as your plans change. A real system, working across features — not a generator of static lists.

WHAT JOURNEYBAY HANDLES

— Conversation with the engine, by chat or by voice. Describe the trip in plain words and the engine picks it up from there.

— Booking import from PDFs and photos. Forward hotel, flight, train or car-rental confirmations — the engine reads them and arranges your timeline around them.

— Day-by-day route with morning, afternoon and evening, not a list of places. The order saves you time on the ground.

— Place intelligence. Restaurants, museums, parks, hidden gems with ratings and live status checks. If a place is closed, the engine flags it and suggests alternatives that fit your route.

— Personal recommendations along your route and style. The engine learns what you choose across trips and surfaces more of it in the next one.

— Interactive map. Every stop on one screen, search what is nearby, move activities in a tap and the engine reshuffles the plan.

— Visa information sourced from official government databases.

— Worldwide coverage. Any country, any city.

— Favorites. Save places, reuse them across trips.

— Free. Core features at no cost.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Talk to the engine — type or speak: "five days in Istanbul, history and great food, mid-budget."
2. Drop your bookings — PDFs or photos of confirmations.
3. Get your route — day-by-day plan with real places, ordered on the map.
4. Adjust in chat — change a day, add a place, the engine syncs everything.

POPULAR DESTINATIONS

Istanbul, Tbilisi, Dubai, Bangkok, Phuket, Antalya, Bali, Yerevan, Tokyo, Lisbon, Mexico City.

POWER FEATURES

— Bring Your Own LLM. Plug in your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key for unlimited AI usage at your own rates.

— Custom MCP Server. Connect your JourneyBay trips to Claude Desktop or any MCP-compatible client. Read and edit your plans from anywhere.

JourneyBay v2 is built on a custom AI Travel Engine: dozens of internal tools that understand language, find places, check status, build routes, and keep the plan in sync — working together instead of one model spitting out a list. Download and let the engine plan your next trip.
