New application eases travel-planning headache
Global start-up Wanderboat has launches a new Artificial Intelligence (AI) application aimed at helping people use exploration to connect.
Founded by AI experts from industry giants like Microsoft and Meta, Waterboat has its sight set on streamlining the travel planning process.
Its application does this by combining intuitive chat with immersive visual travel maps that can guide travellers through their preferred journey whether it be a short or long one.
Its technology is powered by a search engine that integrates websites, video content, social media photos and review sites.
Unlike other platforms that aim to provide single-text responses, Wanderboat seeks to interpret user intuition and analyse behaviour to offer recommendations and visuals that are tailored to a specific traveller’s wants and needs.
Wanderboat caters to both early planners and spontaneous travellers. Users can build detailed, custom itineraries or ask real-time questions based on their location.
The planning tool is complemented by a vibrant community where users can connect and share experiences.
Beyond its free-form chat and personalised itineraries, Wanderboat offers features that surpass standard travel tools and Chat-GPT.
“People have become more isolated behind their screens,” said You Wu, Founder and CEO of Wanderboat.
“We’re taking a human approach to AI by fostering creativity and exploration, easing the travel-planning burden so people can spend less time researching, more time experiencing.”
