👋 Hi everyone, I'm Haruya from Tokyo — just joined this community!
I'm working on an AI travel tech startup called Tripia, and I just released our app last month. (Actually, I’ve developed this app all by myself 💪)
The idea came from a very personal pain point:
As someone juggling a busy schedule, I found it hard to take time off — not because I didn't want to travel, but because planning the trip was too time-consuming. I’d spend hours comparing places, organizing routes, and looking up what to do. Eventually, I’d just give up.
🧠 That got me thinking:
Could AI actually take on the planning part — and do it well?
🚴♀️ Over the past year, I've been exploring how large language models and real-time data can help generate full travel itineraries based on personal preferences. The result is Tripia — a tool that creates editable, customizable plans in seconds, from AI-curated spots to adjustable maps and timing.
👉 If you're interested in my app, you can install it at tripia.app (iOS and Android).
I know this is just one possible approach, and I’m really curious:
* How do you see AI changing the way we travel?
* Can technology enhance personalized travel without losing authenticity?
* What balance do we need between automation and human input?
I'd truly appreciate any feedback or thoughts!
Hi Haruya, thanks for sharing Tripia with the Travel Massive community, and it's fantastic to feature a startup from Japan!
The scheduling / transport feature is very helpful for multi-day / multi-city itineraries. Does your technology need to look up external APIs for schedules, or is your LLM trained on this to provide a fast response?
In response to your questions — I feel that social proof is an important aspect of trip planning (for example, how many people have visited or recommend a location), and this is where AI planning seems to fall short. I'm 10x more likely to act on a recommendation from someone that I know, or trust. One way would be to add a social/trust layer on top of the AI recommendations, powered by humans.
One quick feedback about the app — I generated a tour from Tokyo to Osaka, and it recommended Universal Studios, but only to stay for 30 minutes! Perhaps some attractions need longer than others to explore them.
Hope this feedback helps!
Hi Ian,
Thanks so much for your comment — I really appreciate you taking the time to try out Tripia!
To answer your question: we use both external APIs (e.g., for transit and location data) and our own custom-trained models, so Tripia can quickly generate accurate and realistic itineraries.
> I'm 10x more likely to act on a recommendation from someone that I know, or trust.
I completely agree with you. People naturally trust recommendations from friends or known sources much more than generic or paid suggestions — and AI is no exception. I think the key will be combining AI’s efficiency with a human layer of trust or social validation, just as you suggested.
Also, thank you for the feedback on Universal Studios! You're right — some spots definitely deserve more time. We're working on improving how the app estimates time spent at each location.
I'm still not satisfied with the current quality myself, so I’m continuing to develop and refine the experience. Your feedback means a lot — thanks again!
Hey Haruya, I saw your note on here and am a good friend of Ian's. We love to showcase your start-up as part our AI Summit in October as we highlight the TM global community. Details here- www.traveltrendspodcast.com/travel-trends-ai-summit-2025
Hi Dan,
Thanks so much for reaching out! I’d love to be part of the AI Summit — it sounds like a great opportunity, and I really appreciate the invitation. I just subscribed to the podcast as well!
Hi Haruya,
Fellow Japan-based startup founder here—so happy to see your post!
I just tried Tripia and wanted to say how much I appreciate the idea and your execution. It runs smoothly and clearly addresses the needs of busy travelers. I really enjoyed the minimalist approach to discovering trip ideas—well done! I'm really looking forward to seeing how the app evolves. :)
A few thoughts after using the app that might help:
Like Ian mentioned, I’d love to see more input from real users. Even starting with your own personal picks or featuring select user recommendations in a blog or spotlight feature be a nice personal touch that further ensures the user.
Also, I tried searching for family-friendly trips outside Tokyo with a toddler. The suggestions were solid, but most were well-known, often crowded spots. Maybe you could refine that feature with a follow-up question like, “Do you prefer popular tourist destinations or off-the-beaten-path places?” to help narrow results based on travel style.
That said—I really love the app. I’ve downloaded it and plan to keep using it to plan my travels. Wishing you lots of success ahead! :)
Hope this helps!
Hi Ally!
Thank you so much for the kind feedback :)
Actually, I had a great chat with Seiya-san from Shiitake Creative recently, so I’m really glad to hear from you as well! I hope we can find a chance to collaborate on something in the future.
I really appreciate your insights — user input and personal touches like curated picks are definitely areas I want to expand. Your example about family travel was super helpful too, and I’m working on adding follow-up questions to better match different travel styles.
Thanks again for taking the time to try Tripia and share your thoughts. It really means a lot and keeps me motivated. Wishing you continued success as well — and let’s definitely keep in touch!
Haruya
Hi Haruya,
Oh, I'm so glad you two have connected! :) Yes, definitely, let's keep in touch and find ways to collaborate! Looking forward!
