Built an AI trip planner that groups by neighborhood

Every trip I planned turned into 20 tabs, screenshots from Reels, and a spreadsheet that never matched the map. So I built Routinex free, no account needed.

  • Day-by-day plans anchored to neighborhoods, not zigzagging across a city

  • Local mode filters out tourist traps (Foursquare-verified)

  • Cruise Port mode timed to your ship's all-aboard time

  • Budget mode tracks running costs per stop

  • Live weather/flight/hotel data, offline access, PDF/calendar export

    routinex.travel curious what this community thinks. What's the one thing a trip planner has never gotten right for you?

How I stopped spending 6 hours planning trips and built something to fix it

I used to spend entire evenings researching trips 12 tabs open, comparing hotels, trying to figure out what neighborhood to stay in, what's actually worth doing vs. tourist traps.

So I built Routinex. A few things I learned building an AI travel planner that actually works:

  • Generic itineraries are useless. The AI needs real local venue data (we use Foursquare) to recommend places people actually go, not just the top 10 from TripAdvisor

  • Hotel prices need to be live, not estimated users don't trust made-up numbers

  • Maps make itineraries 10x more useful seeing your day laid out geographically changes how you plan

Happy to answer questions about building it or travel planning in general
