The AI ran their 14 day Japan trip live, re-timing days from his phone

A couple spent 14 days in Kyoto, Hakone and Tokyo with AI as their travel assistant. Before the trip it grilled him one question at a time instead of handing over a plan, and built a private offline trip page for their phones with day cards, booking codes, train guides and taxi cards showing the hotel address in Japanese. During the trip he ran it from his phone: after they caught a later train he asked for the day to be re-timed and got new times, an updated app and moved calendar events in a couple of minutes. One stop was added without anyone checking it was open, and it was not; after that every stop got checked on the venue's own site first.

How it works

  1. Plan in his notes app with one question at a time
  2. Run checks before each city
  3. Build a private offline trip page
  4. Live re-timing from his phone when trains change
  5. Calendar events moved
  6. Closed venue teaches a check first rule

Why it’s worth knowing

The planning style is the trick: the agent asks one question at a time and he keeps every decision, then it does the re-timing grunt work live.
