02 · Work from any list

Check and organize the whole plan

Use these workflows when the recommendations came from several places—or when the main question is hours, closures, or map fit.

  1. Validate trip hours against your travel datesValidating trip hours means matching the places in your plan when possible, then comparing available weekly schedules, closure signals, holiday context, seasonal details, and booking guidance with your travel dates; unmatched names and missing data still require review.
  2. Organize travel recommendations from anywhereOrganizing travel recommendations means extracting place names from mixed bullets, paragraphs, AI itineraries, copied or OCR-extracted screenshot text, and friends’ messages, then matching and deduplicating them when possible while keeping ambiguous or unmatched names available for review.

Practical planning guides

Focused guides for spreadsheets, neighborhoods, missed events, booking pressure, map export, and the failure modes common in AI-written plans.

  1. Stop rebuilding the trip-planning spreadsheetPaste the pile of recs you collected. Skip the rows, tabs, and color-coding.
  2. Will it actually be open when you arrive?The worst way to find out a place is closed is standing in front of it.
  3. Plan days that don't zig-zag the cityA good list still makes a bad day if it is scattered across the map.
  4. Catch the festivals and events that overlap your tripThe festival was right where you were. You only heard about it after you got home.
  5. Check an AI itinerary before it becomes your tripThe AI plan looks finished. The real-world check is the missing step.
  6. AI itinerary mistakes to catch before travelThe itinerary sounds confident. The weak points are hours, closures, booking windows, and map reality.
