AI-Powered Travel Planning That Actually Gets You
Wanderly transforms how people plan trips by combining conversational AI with intelligent itinerary generation. Instead of spending hours researching destinations, comparing options, and building itineraries, users simply describe their dream trip in natural language and get a personalized, detailed travel plan.
Travel planning is broken. The current process involves juggling multiple apps, websites, and tools:
- Research phase: Hours spent on Google, TripAdvisor, and travel blogs
- Booking phase: Switching between booking platforms, comparing prices
- Planning phase: Manually creating day-by-day itineraries
- Coordination phase: Managing group preferences and logistics
The result? Most people either over-plan (stressing over every detail) or under-plan (missing amazing experiences), leading to suboptimal travel experiences.
Wanderly is the first AI travel assistant that handles the entire planning process through natural conversation. Users describe their trip in plain English, and our AI:
- Extracts structured preferences from natural language using Anthropic's Claude
- Generates personalized recommendations for restaurants, activities, and accommodations
- Creates detailed itineraries optimized for their travel style and constraints
- Provides interactive refinement through swipe-based preference learning
- Natural language processing extracts destinations, dates, budget, party size, and travel style
- Smart follow-up questions ensure we capture all preferences
- Context-aware conversation that remembers previous responses
- AI-generated restaurant and activity suggestions based on user preferences
- Swipe-based interface for quick preference learning
- Real-time itinerary optimization based on user feedback

The global travel planning market is valued at $1.2 trillion, with digital travel services growing at 15% annually. Current solutions are fragmented and time-consuming:
- Booking.com: Focuses on accommodation, not planning
- TripAdvisor: Information overload without personalization
- Google Travel: Basic itinerary suggestions, no AI conversation
- Travel agents: Expensive and slow for simple trips
