Grounded in real city data

An AI travel assistant that works from real city data — and builds the plan with you

Most AI chat guesses. Wanderlust’s assistant looks up our own city, cost and safety data first, and tells you when it’s answering from general knowledge instead. Then it goes further than chat: it proposes stops for your trip and saves them when you confirm — so you end up with a plan you can live, not a wall of text.

Free account · no credit card · Generous daily AI chat + 3 AI-built itineraries every 30 days

01

Grounded in real city data

Ask where to go on your budget and it looks up Wanderlust's own cost-of-living and safety data across 1,300+ cities. When it has no data for a place, it says it's answering from general knowledge.

02

Writes into your trip

Ask for a lunch stop or a better order for the day. It proposes the change — add, edit or reorder stops — and nothing is saved until you tap Confirm.

03

Tuned to how you travel

It checks the countries in your passport and the places on your bucket list, so it steers away from where you've been and toward where you want to go.

How it works

From “where should we go?” to a plan you can use

Start with a question or a destination. The assistant works inside your trip, so every good answer can become part of the plan.

  1. STEP 01

    Ask about the trip

    Somewhere affordable and safe for a month in spring? Something to do in Lisbon on a rainy day? Ask the way you'd ask a friend who has the data.

  2. STEP 02

    Get a day-by-day draft

    Tell it where and when, who's coming, your budget and anything you can't miss. Wanderlust drafts a day-by-day itinerary of real places, timed and pinned to a map. Free accounts get 3 AI-built itineraries every 30 days.

  3. STEP 03

    Refine it in chat

    Ask for a swap, a lunch stop near the museum, or a day with less backtracking. Each change arrives as a proposal you confirm or dismiss.

  4. STEP 04

    Book when you're ready

    When you want a stay, a tour or a flight, the assistant hands you a link to search and book it yourself. It never books or pays for anything on its own.

Beyond the chat

The planner around the chat

Optimize Day, one tap

Hand a packed day to Optimize Day and it reorders your stops for the least travel time by car, on foot or by bike (Mapbox routing), keeps fixed stops like hotels and flights anchored, previews the minutes you'll save before you apply it, and flags stops that may be closed when you arrive.

Travel times between stops

Each day shows the drive, walk or ride time between mapped stops, so an overpacked afternoon shows up before you're in it.

Bookings beside the plan

Paste a flight or hotel confirmation email and Wanderlust pulls out the details for you to check and add to the trip.

Share it, or let others copy it

Turn on a public link and anyone can read your trip — and clone it into their own Wanderlust to plan their own version.

Frequently asked questions

What is the AI Travel Assistant?

A chat assistant that works inside your Wanderlust trip. It answers travel questions from Wanderlust's own city, cost and safety data where it has it, suggests places, and proposes stops to add, edit or reorder in your itinerary — you confirm each change before it's saved.

Can the AI Travel Assistant suggest destinations?

Yes. Give it a budget or a vibe and it searches Wanderlust's city data for places that fit — somewhere affordable with a high safety score, say — and it tries to skip countries already in your passport.

Can I customize my travel itinerary?

All of it. Drag stops between days, add or delete stops and days, run Optimize Day, or ask the assistant for a change. Nothing in the draft is locked.

Can it book hotels or flights for me?

No. It doesn't book or pay for anything. When you're ready, it gives you a link to search and book the stay, activity or flight yourself.

Is the AI Travel Assistant included in the free version of the app?

Yes. The assistant is included on every plan with generous daily use — including proposing stops and writing them into your trip once you confirm. The free plan also includes 3 AI-built itineraries every 30 days; Pro ($6.99/month) makes those unlimited and adds trip invites and insider city tips.
