Bring your AI

Your assistant can answer travel questions about you and your friends — and, if you allow it, keep your trips up to date for you. It sees exactly what you see — nothing more.

★ Questions it can answer

  • “Which friends will be in New York in October?”From the trips your friends already share with you.
  • “Do any trips cross paths with mine this fall?”From your matches — same place, same time, or close.
  • “Which of my friends has been to Japan?”From your friends’ been maps.
  • “Who knows Lisbon well?”From friends who say they know it — with their own note, like “lived there 5 years”.
  • “Which countries do my friends want to visit?”From your friends’ want-to-go countries.
  • “Which countries have my friends been to?”From your friends’ been maps, all of them at once.

Just ask in plain words. Your assistant reads your board, your matches, and what your friends already share with you — never anyone else's.

★ Jobs it can do opt-in

  • “Add my Tokyo trip, Oct 12–19”The moment you book it, it’s on your board — and matching runs right away.
  • “Add Portugal and Peru to my want-to-go countries”Someday plans count: they match with friends who want to go too.
  • “Mark Iceland as been”Your been map stays honest without you opening the site.
  • “My Tokyo trip moved to Oct 14–21”It edits the trip you already have, instead of leaving two on your board.
  • “Cancel my Lisbon trip”Gone from your map and from your friends’ matches. This one can’t be undone.

All of this is off by default. When you create a token, one box lets your assistant add things — trips, want-to-go countries, been countries — and a second box lets it change or cancel a trip you already have. Both only ever touch your account, and a token with neither box ticked can only ever look.

★ How to connect

  • 1 · Create a tokenOn your account page. Leave it read-only (the default), or tick a box to let it add things — and a second one to let it change or cancel trips you already have.
  • 2 · Paste the endpointInto Claude, ChatGPT, or anything that speaks MCP — the standard way assistants plug into apps.
  • 3 · Ask away“Who's in Tokyo when I am?” Your assistant does the looking-up.

★ What it can never do

  • Change anything without your say-so. Tokens start read-only. Adding is a box you tick when you create one; changing or cancelling a trip you already have is a second box on top of that. Each one is a separate, deliberate choice, neither can be switched on for a token that already exists, and both only ever touch your own account.
  • See more than you can. It sees exactly what you see in the app. Your friends' trip privacy is enforced on the server, the same as in your browser.
  • Message your friends. It talks to you and nobody else. A match is information for you — no friend gets nudged or put on the spot.
  • Outlive your trust. Revoke the token on your account page and it goes dead instantly.

Two minutes to set up. Then just ask.
