How A.I. Chatbots Can Help Plan Your Next Trip

Looking to plan your next vacation? With the help of artificial intelligence (A.I.), the process of planning your trip can become a seamless experience. A.I. algorithms analyze vast amounts of data and provide you with personalized recommendations for accommodations, activities, and even dining options based on your budget, preferences, and travel history. In this fast-paced world, A.I. can help you save time, make informed decisions, and avoid information overload. So sit back, relax, and let A.I. be your travel companion in planning your next dream vacation or weekend getaway!

Receive a General Itinerary

Trying to plan what to do each day of your vacation can become very tedious and overwhelming, but with the help of artificial intelligence, you can have a whole itinerary laid out before you within seconds. 

No matter what A.I. chatbot you're using (it could be ChatGPT or one on a social media platform), if you type in where you want to travel to and tie in details like how long you're planning to stay or what your budget is, you will likely be given a general itinerary of recommendations on how to fill each day at your destined location. If you're dissatisfied with the answer, re-submit your question again or reword it for a different set of results! Just be sure to research your results to verify the accuracy, as new technology may have flaws from time to time.

• Here's an example of what you might ask: "Give me a vacation itinerary for 3 days in Branson Missouri for a family with young kids."

Get a Deeper Understanding

If you were to look up in Google, "What is the Titanic Museum in Branson, Missouri?" you are given a list of websites and a very brief description from Wikipedia that gives little-to-no detail on what the attraction is truly about. However, when you ask DeepAI the same question, you'll get an answer similar to the following:

"The Titanic Museum in Branson, Missouri is a museum that features artifacts and exhibits related to the RMS Titanic, the British passenger liner that famously sank on its maiden voyage in 1912. The museum includes over 400 artifacts recovered from the wreckage site, including personal items belonging to passengers and crew members. Visitors can explore replicas of some of the ship's rooms, including the grand staircase, the bridge, and the captain's quarters. The museum also offers interactive experiences and educational exhibits about the history of the Titanic and its passengers. Overall, the Titanic Museum is a popular attraction in Branson for history buffs and anyone interested in this iconic moment in maritime history."

See how much more detailed and personal that answer was? And if you're looking for information on multiple locations, using an A.I. chatbot is so much quicker than using a regular search engine.

Generate Ideas

Depending on which A.I. chatbot you use determines what level of research you can do. While your chatbot may not be able to tell you the specific names of lodging accommodations in the area of your vacation destination (although some can, especially if you're using a search engine chatbot), nearly all chatbots can at least provide some wonderful ideas to help you generate ideas and guide your research in the right direction. For instance, if you type in "Places to stay in Branson Missouri," you may get a list back that simply lays out the types of accommodations you can find in Branson, such as "waterfront lodging," "lodges and cabins," and "campgrounds and RV parks," with a short blurb about each type, or you may receive a more detailed answer that lists a couple or several specific lodging locations in Branson. It all depends on the type of chatbot you're using, but no matter which one you use, you'll be amazed at how helpful artificial intelligence can be in your research endeavor!

Stay Up-to-Date

You should be aware of how up-to-date your A.I. chatbot is while using it for research. Some chatbots may help make vacation planning easier by giving you a general idea of what to do in the area, where to eat, estimated ticket prices, a daily itinerary, etc., but most of them cannot give you updated information on weather, addresses, or new businesses in the area. We recommend using a search engine A.I. chatbot, such as Bing's, when looking for up-to-date information, directions, live show details, weather updates—any specific, ever-changing details that you need to know in a hurry. By using a search engine A.I. chatbot instead of the search engine itself, you will find answers in a condensed, straightforward manner without the headache of clicking and scrolling through various websites.

While you may not trust it for everything, we believe artificial intelligence to be a tried-and-true planning tool for any occasion! Are you ready to give A.I. a try?
