Automatically create personalized week-long travel plans in 5 minutes using Perplexity, Claude, and Airtable
Travel planning is time-consuming and overwhelming. This automation transforms the entire process by combining AI research and intelligent content generation to create fully personalized travel itineraries instantly. What normally takes hours of research now happens automatically in minutes.
The Challenge
Planning a week-long trip typically requires:
- Hours of research across multiple websites and blogs
- Reading countless reviews to find hidden gems
- Organizing activities day-by-day
- Balancing different types of experiences
- Formatting everything into a readable itinerary
Traditional travel planning tools offer generic recommendations that don’t account for individual preferences, age ranges, or special occasions.
The Solution
This automation uses advanced AI to research, create, and deliver completely customized travel itineraries based on user inputs like destination, dates, interests, age range, and special occasions.

Claude AI takes the research data and:
- Crafts a complete week-long itinerary organized by day
