3-5 days City break. Museums, food, rhythm between meetings.

2-3 weeks Road trip. Open road, every stop AI-picked.

Travel planning has been broken for years.
Twelve tabs. Three booking emails. A Notion doc you didn't finish. JourneyBay turns the mess into one living itinerary.
Without JourneyBay
- Ideas live across tabs, chats, maps, and notes
- Booking PDFs, photos, and screenshots sit outside the plan
- Days, places, transport, and preparation do not connect
- Visa and entry details need separate checks
- Generic recommendations ignore pace, passport, and context
- Every change means rebuilding the plan manually

Frequently asked questions
Everything you wanted to know about JourneyBay 2.0
What is the AI Travel Engine?
The AI Travel Engine is the rebuilt core of JourneyBay 2.0. Unlike a typical AI chat that only replies in text, the engine uses 25 tools: it searches places, builds routes, imports bookings, checks visa context, and edits the trip inside the conversation.
What is Bring Your Own LLM (BYO LLM)?
Plug in your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google key and use JourneyBay with your AI provider. Keys stay with you — we never proxy or store your prompts. Useful for power users who want control over AI costs and limits.
What is MCP access?
The MCP Server exposes authorized JourneyBay trip data to compatible AI clients: Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, and others. Access is gated by user authorization — you approve every action. Ideal for developers and AI-first workflows.
How many countries are supported?
All countries and citizenships. The engine factors destination, passport, pace, and preferences into your itinerary automatically.
How is JourneyBay different from Google Maps or TripAdvisor?
JourneyBay is all-in-one: AI generates the itinerary, imports your bookings from PDFs, considers visas and preferences. No more switching between a dozen apps — everything in one workspace with personalization.
Can I import bookings?
Yes. JourneyBay recognizes bookings from PDFs, photos, and screenshots — hotels, flights, trains, rentals. It extracts dates, places, and confirmation codes and adds them to your trip.
How accurate is the visa information?
JourneyBay shows visa context based on official government sources. Always verify critical travel requirements with embassies, consulates, and official government portals before traveling.
What are AI tokens?
Tokens are the internal currency for AI requests. Every plan includes 25,000 tokens. You can purchase additional tokens at any time inside the app.
Does JourneyBay work offline?
No, the AI assistant and up-to-date data require an internet connection.
Are group trips supported?
Not yet, but collaborative planning is one of the priority features on our roadmap.
