PlanMyVisit vs ChatGPT

• Information can become outdated
  ChatGPT’s underlying AI model learns from a set of information during training. If a venue changes its opening hours or prices afterwards, that learned information can be out of date unless newer information is supplied or looked up
• Web sources can conflict
  ChatGPT can use live web sources to supplement the information it learned during training. Those sources can disagree—for example, a venue’s website and an older listing may show different opening hours—making it unclear which source to trust
• Missing dark data
  Web search cannot find “dark data”: information that has never been published online. For example, staff may know which entrance is quietest for visitors who find crowds difficult, without that detail appearing on the website

• Dark data
  Working with local tour operators gives us access to practical venue knowledge that has never been published online, so it can inform your visit even when a web search would miss it
• Verified and auditable
  Information is checked against sources. You or your AI can inspect the source, verification status, who checked it and when, rather than simply taking an answer on trust
• Feedback loops
  When missing or changed information is reported, we research it and update the shared visit knowledge, so corrections can benefit future plans and answers

Builds an itinerary from your request and the information available

Sometimes AI focuses on what is possible, rather than what is memorable

Sometimes AI is not very spatially aware: suggested walking or driving distances and journey times may be unrealistic

Built on itineraries curated by local tour operators

PlanMyVisit provides these recipes for your itinerary: routes and combinations chosen to work well in practice, adapted to your group and priorities

Drawing on experience running tours with human guides, local tour operators judge what is worth including and what can be left out

A personal ChatGPT conversation is between you and ChatGPT. You need to know the other people’s preferences and explain the group’s needs.

ChatGPT uses the group details you share and relevant preferences available through memory, when enabled

• Multiple people, one shared plan
  A family or group of friends can each use their own ChatGPT account to collaborate on one shared visit plan. Others can join through the PlanMyVisit website without using AI tools
• Preferences and priorities
  Combines long-term preferences, such as enjoying a relaxed pace, with priorities for this particular visit, such as “must see the dinosaurs”

Dominated by multinational retailers

Unless you ask ChatGPT to prioritise booking direct, suggestions may include multinational resellers.

Their commissions can reduce the amount the local venue or tour operator receives compared with a direct booking

Book directly with venues and local tour operators

PlanMyVisit helps you decide whether you need a tour operator or can book directly with the venue, with local knowledge and direct booking links to help you choose what suits your group
