Before the age of generative AI, travel planning involved time-consuming tasks like searching for information about neighborhoods, public transit, and local attractions.
Now with AI chatbots like ChatGPT, travel planning has become more efficient by providing quick access to relevant information and saving conversations for future reference.
Despite the convenience of using ChatGPT for trip planning, a drawback was the need to switch between apps to navigate, copying addresses from ChatGPT to Google Maps for directions.
Google Maps has introduced a new AI feature called Gemini, which can extract location information from screenshots, streamlining the process of planning trips when using chatbots like ChatGPT.
