What is Wanderboat?
Wanderboat is an AI-powered travel planner and local guide from UTA AI Inc. You ask in chat or on a map for places, food, events or a full itinerary, and it returns plans with photos and booking options. It runs on the web and as a free iPhone app.
Planning a trip or an evening out usually means juggling reviews, maps and booking sites. Wanderboat condenses that research: you can search by mood or occasion, such as quiet reading spots or rooftop bars, and get a ready plan. It pulls stay and booking data from partners like Airbnb, Expedia and Booking.com, and restaurant options from Resy and OpenTable.
