Ease of Making an Itinerary with Bard AI
Bard AI simplifies the process of creating a travel itinerary.
Whether you’re looking for flights, accommodations, or inspiration, Bard AI streamlines it all.
How to Access Bard AI
Accessing Bard AI is a breeze. Simply visit the website to start planning your trip. Bard AI.
Finding a Flight with Bard
First, we need to find a flight to our destination.
In this example, I’ll be traveling from Manila, Philippines, to Hong Kong.
I prompted, “Find me a cheap travel ticket to Hong Kong from Manila, Philippines.”
You can add more information to the prompt, such as:
- Travel date
- Budget
- Number of Tickets
- Recommended Time
But in this scenario, I’m just looking for the best available date that is the cheapest air fare possible.
Finding Hotels in Hong Kong
Searching for hotels can be difficult without much time to browse different apps like Traveloka or Booking.com.
With Google Hotels and Bard’s help, just ask.
For example, “Can you find me a hotel near Victoria Peak when I arrive in HK? 2 adults, and find me the cheapest 4.5-star and up reviewed hotel.”
Bard will assist in finding the best-rated hotels at great prices.
You can click the photos to see the hotel in detail, Bard highly suggest that you make in depth research on the hotel that you want to book in.
Finding YouTube Videos for Inspiration
Now, I asked Bard to find some Youtube Vlogs about travelling to hongkong.
I prompted ” @YouTube can you suggest me some travel videos in related to my travel plans”
using the ‘@’ can call out the extension you want to use.
As of this writing, you can use Google Flights, Google Hotels, Google Maps, and YouTube.
Bard recommended 5 videos. You may choose one of these videos, these are all related to my recent prompt.
I tried prompting on Bard to summarize a Youtube Video for me, but it gives me an error. I hope Bard will makes an upgrade anytime soon, for I think this will be very helpful for most people.
Creating a Draft Itinerary
Now, let’s create a draft itinerary. Remember, this is only a draft, so feel free to make changes as needed.
Other Notes from Bard AI
Good to have integrations
Right now, what I’d think that would be great if there is an integration to:
Google Calendar in Bard AI
It would be awesome if we finalize our itinerary we cna ask bard to put it directly on our google calendar! But as of this writing no integration yet.
Google Docs in Bard AI
I tried prompting to create a document of the itinerary however this what I got.
But bard is good enough to make these instead, so that I can copy and paste it to a document.
Conclusion
Creating an itinerary with Bard AI is just one example of what you can do with its extensions.
Relying solely on AI for your itinerary can be risky, so it’s wise to do additional research on establishments, operating hours, and local holidays.
This is a helpful start in creating your itinerary but doesn’t do all the work for you!
