We're excited to let you all know about the latest feature we've just launched for 2025 on our European rail trip planner.... an AI assistant.
As users of the trip planner might already know we've had an AI system for generating a full featured trip for you for quite a while, but until now it was up to you to then modify the trip to suit your needs. We've seen some excellent trips being planned with this version of the app so we're hopeful that the addition of an assistant will help even more of you plan the trip of your dreams.
What can the assistant do for you?
The assistant is based on a chat bot, so really you can ask it anything, it will try to adjust and add to your trip based on what you ask it. Here's a few examples of what it can do:
- Add and remove destinations
- Add, remove or change attractions
- Provide attractions based on your preferences
- Re-order the places on your trip
- Suggest other places to go
- Suggest hotels and nearby places you might want to visit in any of the places you're visiting
You can ask it whatever you want and it will try to help with your trip plan.
How do I use it?
You just go to the trip planner, provide a starting point and off you go, the chat assistant will be there waiting to help. You'll need to be logged in to use it, we're not allowing anonymous use of the assistant at this stage, but might in future.
Some example things to ask it

Caveats
As you can see the options are endless, although please be aware that the assistant is an AI and will sometimes make things up or do non-sensical things. Please try to use the system with this in mind and please report any issues to us, we're always trying to refine how it works and responds.
