Traveling is one of my favorite activities, but organizing a good trip can be quite complicated - especially when it comes to a new destination. Thankfully, there's a new app called MagicMiles that helps you create entire travel itineraries using AI.
MagicMiles was launched a few months ago, but I've been using it now to plan my next trip. While there are already apps that help you organize your trip, MagicMiles' main idea is a bit different: it uses artificial intelligence to create a travel itinerary based on your interests.
Using the app is quite simple and intuitive. First, you enter your travel destination. Then MagicMiles will ask you a few questions about your trip. For example, you need to enter things like whether you're traveling alone, with friends, family, or on a date. Then choose some activities that interest you, such as visiting museums, shopping, or enjoying the nightlife.
The app also has three different budget options: Economy, Normal and Luxury. Choose the option that best fits your plans.
Once you're done, MagicMiles will use AI to create the best itinerary based on your answers and how many days you'll be spending there. Tap on each activity to see more details about it, including a map with directions, phone number, website, opening hours and a graph showing the busiest times. You can also replace a specific activity or mark it as completed. More activities can be added manually.
For a three-day trip to Rome, the app suggested I visit iconic places like the Colosseum, Roman Forum and Trevi Fountain on the first day. Then, for the other days, it chose galleries, museums and other tourist sights. For a single day trip to Madrid, the app suggested starting with the Royal Palace, then visiting other places such as the Museo del Prado, Retiro Park, and Gran Via.
I've also created an itinerary for Tbilisi, Georgia (a place I've visited many times) and the app's recommendations are very much in line with the best places to visit in the city.
MagicMiles also includes push notifications to keep you updated on any changes and works offline. Itineraries are synchronized between devices and the app has no data tracking or advertising. The developer told 9to5Mac that he plans to add more features such as an option to add flights and hotels to the itinerary in the future.
You can try MagicMiles for free for three days. The app requires a monthly or annual subscription. The best part is that the app is available on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and Mac, as well as on Google Play for Android.
Despite the lack of some features that will be coming in the future, MagicMiles is one of the must-have apps for those who love planning trips. I definitely recommend at least trying it out during the free trial period. You can find more details about the app on its official website.
