Planning a group trip shouldn't feel like herding cats. TRIPTI.ai helps friend groups pick dates, build itineraries, and coordinate logistics — without the endless group chat back-and-forth. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a trip and invite your group 2. Everyone shares when they're available 3. The group narrows down to the best dates 4. Lock the dates and start planning the details SMART DATE COORDINATION Stop scrolling through 47 messages to figure out when everyone's free. TRIPTI.ai collects availability, surfaces the best options, and helps your group commit — even if not everyone can make it. ITINERARY PLANNING Crowdsource ideas from the group, then pull it all together into a shared plan everyone can see. ACCOMMODATION & EXPENSES Compare stay options, vote on preferences, and track shared costs so nobody gets stuck with the math. CIRCLES — YOUR CREW, ALL IN ONE PLACE Every trip lives in a circle: your friend group's home base. Plans, chat, and shared history stay with the group, so the next trip starts with momentum instead of a blank slate. EVENTS & GATHERINGS It's not just the big trips. Host a dinner, a game night, a birthday, or a pre-trip meetup — create an event, share one link, and see who's in with low-pressure RSVPs (Going, Leaning, or just watching). Hosts get a clean headcount without chasing replies. BUILT FOR FRIEND GROUPS TRIPTI.ai is designed for the way real friend groups plan — a few motivated planners move things forward while others stay informed and jump in when ready. No pressure, no guilt. WHAT MAKES TRIPTI.ai DIFFERENT - Availability doesn't equal commitment — only locking dates does - Your trip can move forward without unanimous participation - Chat-first coordination keeps everything in context - Role-aware nudges keep the group moving without nagging TRIP BOOST (OPTIONAL) Want more planning power? Trip Boost is a one-time in-app purchase that unlocks premium tools for a trip — decision cards with deadlines, expense settle-up, a deposit collector, a room and bed planner, calendar sync, and a rescheduling toolkit. Circle Boost covers every trip and event in a circle, and Event Boost adds premium host tools for a single event. Free to plan together — create trips, coordinate dates, chat, and build your itinerary at no cost. Premium tools are available as optional in-app purchases. Start planning your next trip today.
