Vacay
Conversational AI travel advisor with themed trip planners.
About
Vacay is a chat-based AI travel advisor (built on OpenAI's GPT-4o) that gives real-time, personalized recommendations through dynamic conversation: destinations, hotels, itineraries, and direct booking links. Alongside the general chatbot it offers a Thematic Advisor for curated trips (luxury, solo, family, wellness) and an Itinerary Planner that builds plans from your answers.
It is freemium — free to try, premium around $9.99/month. Limitations noted by reviewers: suggestions draw from its own database without real-time updates, and it runs in a web browser only, with no mobile app.
