Tripmate AI — Plan Real Trips with AI & Friends Most travel apps box you into pre-built lists and rigid templates. Tripmate AI gives you total freedom. Powered by the Google Places API, our AI builds completely custom, non-deterministic itineraries from scratch, ensuring you can find and route to essentially any place on earth. Whether you're organizing a multi-city European tour or just looking for a hidden café around the corner, Tripmate AI handles the heavy lifting so you can just enjoy the trip. Unconstrained AI Trip Planning Tell the AI where you're going and what your vibe is. Because we don't use pre-built plans, the AI researches and builds a highly optimized day-by-day itinerary tailored exactly to you. 4 Smart Planning Modes: Choose from Single Destination, or three Multi-Destination modes (let the AI decide stops and dates, pick the stops yourself and let AI set the dates, or dictate exactly where and when you want to go). Advanced Optimization: Tailor your routes based on date flexibility, flight class preferences, party size, or specific vibes (e.g., "avoid big cities" or "skip tourist traps"). Direct Bookings: Instantly get direct links to chosen flights, hotel recommendations, and train/bus pages. Scenic Walking Guides Exploring a new city and unsure of the best areas to stroll? Tell the AI where you're heading and what you want to see along the way. It optimizes your route for the best sights and detours, optimizing for places instead of speed. Custom Roadtrip Planner Planning a drive with friends or family but unsure where to stop? The AI generates suggested routes with curated stops tailored to your group. Whether you need kid-friendly breaks for the family or just want to find a great local pub with your mates, the AI builds the perfect journey around your exact preferences. The Ultimate Group Travel Canvas Create a trip, invite friends, and build an itinerary together in real-time. No more messy group chats or shared docs. Group Location Tracking when Traveling: Toggle your live location on during an active trip to see exactly where your friends are on the map. Perfect for splitting up to explore and easily finding each other again. Shared AI Preferences: Curate your personal travel interests and share them with your group. When anyone generates an AI trip, the planner automatically blends everyone's preferences to create an itinerary the whole group will love. Your On-The-Go Guide Our AI isn't just for planning; it's your perfect companion while you're there: Smart Search: Already in a new city? Tell the AI exactly what you're in the mood for—a rooftop bar with a view or a quiet bookshop. The AI filters the web in real-time to give you curated spots nearby. Discover History Nearby: Get a rich, narrated account of the history standing right in front of you. Not a generic Wikipedia summary, but a real narrative about what happened there and why it matters. Built for How Trips Actually Work Unified Map & Schedule: Organize nested activities within destinations, all on one unified map and a clean, day-by-day schedule. Transport Routes: Track flights, trains, and drives seamlessly between cities. Bilingual: Full support for English and Norwegian. Can add more on popular request. Pricing & Pro Features Tripmate AI is completely FREE to use for all core planning, mapping, and collaboration features. Tripmate AI Pro unlocks unlimited access to our AI tools: Try it first: Your first use of each AI tool is completely free! Unlimited access: 3.99 $ / month, or 29.99 $ / year (52 % discount). Transparent: Cancel anytime directly in your App Store settings; so you can use it unlimited when your traveling and cancel when your done.
