Plan trips by talking them through — get a magazine-style HTML guide that travels with you

🎯 What it does

Travel Companion plans complete trips through conversation, then delivers one self-contained HTML file with everything you need on the road. Itinerary with timing and routes, a packing list grown from the actual plan, budget breakdown, entry requirements, and trip-specific traps to avoid — all designed to print clean on A4 or read offline on your phone.

Built for solo, couple, or family leisure travel; honeymoons and anniversaries; short trips anchored on a concert, exhibition, or event; and first-time visits to a new country. Not for business travel or fully-booked trips needing only last-mile tips.

🛠 How it works

1. Discovery — A few targeted questions to lock essentials (destination, dates, group, rough budget). Not a survey.
2. Progressive planning — Work through the trip day by day, with a moment to adjust at the end of each. Saying "you decide the rest" auto-switches to fast-track mode.
3. Delivery — One self-contained HTML file. Return anytime to revise a single day or item.

💡 Example

Input:

"Planning a Bali trip with my wife, April 10–12, mid-range budget, never been before."

Output (excerpt):

• 3-day itinerary with Day 2 anchored on a pre-dawn volcano hike for sunrise
• Visual route strip on each day showing hotel start, every stop, and end point — with one-tap Google Maps integration
• Packing list with hike-specific items (headlamp, warm layer) accumulated naturally from the planning conversation
• Common Traps section with trip-specific advice
• Single self-contained HTML file (~40KB), readable in airplane mode, printable to A4

The most distinctive section is Common Traps — not "stay hydrated" filler, but specific opinions for this trip. Examples from the Bali dossier: "Don't try to add Seminyak in 3 days. Don't take Mount Agung sunrise instead of Batur. The 'Bali swings' photo spots are overpriced — skip them."

📥 Input formats

• Natural-language trip descriptions — "I want to go to Tokyo for a week next month"
• Destination + dates + group size — minimum viable input
• Event anchors — concerts, exhibitions, sports matches, festivals (dates auto-verified via web search before planning starts)
• Multi-city trips — segments adapt to natural city boundaries
• Any input language — the output dossier follows your language all the way through (section headers, captions, button labels)

📦 What you get in the dossier

• One self-contained HTML file with all CSS and JS inline; zero external dependencies
• Climate-appropriate visual theme (coastal / mountain / tropical / urban / desert / nordic)
• Print-optimized for A4 with proper page breaks (cover, then each day, then references)
• Interactive packing checklist with state that persists in the browser
• Day-collapse interaction for mobile reading
• One-tap copy button for non-Latin place names (show to a taxi driver)
• Optional health considerations module (auto-included for regions that warrant it)
• Optional emergency medical card (English + local language) on request
