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

  • Where am I travelling next month?From your own trip board.
  • 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.

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 12–19The moment you book it, it’s on your board — and matching runs right away.
  • Add Portugal and Peru to my want-to-go countriesSomeday plans count: they match with friends who want to go too.
  • Mark Iceland as beenYour been map stays honest without you opening the site.

Adding is off by default. When you create a token, there’s a box that lets your assistant add things — trips, want-to-go countries, been countries — to your account only. Leave the box unticked and it can only ever look.

How to connect

  • 1 · Create a tokenOn your account page. Leave it read-only (the default), or tick the box that lets it add things.
  • 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 — and adding only ever means adding, to 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.
