Problem
Planning a trip is time-consuming and fragmented: travelers must juggle multiple platforms to research destinations, collect recommendations from social media, coordinate with travel companions, and piece together a day-by-day schedule. Existing planning tools are often static, generic, or disconnected from how people actually discover and save travel ideas.
Solution
Takeoff is a collaborative trip-planning app that combines AI-generated itineraries with social media integration and group coordination. Users paste TikTok or Instagram links into the app, and AI extracts every place mentioned, adding them to the trip with photos and directions. The app also generates day-by-day plans based on trip preferences like destination, dates, and travel style, which can be used as-is or customized. Travelers can save places to a personal library, share trips via short links for anonymous contributions, and access all trip data offline through a local SQLite database.
Target Audience
Primary users are leisure travelers seeking to streamline trip planning, including solo travelers, families, couples, and groups who want personalized itineraries and easy collection of travel ideas from social media.
