How do I use AI to plan a family trip?

Help me plan a family trip. Ask me one question at a time: where we're going and when, who's coming (ages matter), our rough budget, what kind of trip we want (packed vs. relaxed), and any must-dos or deal-breakers.

Then build a day-by-day plan with one anchor activity per day, backup options for bad weather, realistic meal stops, and downtime built in. Flag anything that needs booking ahead.

Trip planning usually dies in seventeen open browser tabs. This prompt makes the AI act like a travel agent who asks good questions first — so the plan fits your actual family instead of a fantasy one.

How to use it

  1. Copy the prompt into ChatGPT or Claude.
  2. Be honest in your answers (“my 6-year-old melts down after 3pm” is useful data).
  3. Ask for changes like you would with a person: “day two is too packed,” “swap the museum for something outdoors.”

Try next: once the plan looks right, ask for a packing list based on the itinerary and the weather.
