Yatrika.ai

यात्रिका (yātrikā) — Hindi/Sanskrit for "traveler"

An AI travel planner that takes a rough idea — a city, a mood, a handful of days — and turns it into a real itinerary. No more twenty browser tabs to plan one trip.

Building in public — early stage

Trip planning is a workflow problem

I spend my days turning messy, manual work into something a bot can run reliably. Trip planning has the same shape: a dozen inputs (dates, budget, mood, must-sees) scattered across tabs, spreadsheets, and group chats, with no single place that turns them into a plan.

Before

  • Twenty tabs of "best things to do in ___"
  • A spreadsheet no one else opens
  • Re-googling the same city for every trip
  • A plan that's out of date by day two

With Yatrika

  • Describe the trip in a sentence or two
  • Get a day-by-day itinerary back
  • Adjust pace, budget, or interests and it re-plans
  • One place to hold the whole trip

What it's built to do

Yatrika.ai is under active development. This is the core of what it's designed around:

01

Conversational planning

Describe a trip in plain language — destination, dates, vibe — instead of filling out a form.

02

Day-by-day itineraries

A structured plan by day, not a wall of links, that accounts for pacing and travel time between stops.

03

Personalized to how you travel

Budget, pace, and interests shape the plan — a slow food-focused weekend looks nothing like a packed sightseeing sprint.

04

Editable, not fixed

Swap a stop, shift a day, tighten the budget — the itinerary adjusts instead of starting over.

Why I'm building this

Automation for enterprises by day, automation for my own trips by night.

I've spent 5+ years building bots that take repetitive work off people's plates. Yatrika.ai is that same idea aimed at something I do for myself: planning travel.
