Travel planning is broken. Not the booking part—there are endless sites optimizing that funnel. The actual planning part. The part where you figure out what you want, how much you can spend, and how to make it all fit together without drowning in spreadsheets, note apps, and a dozen open browser tabs.
Waylo exists because we got tired of the chaos.
The Problem with Travel Tools
Most travel platforms start with the transaction: flights, hotels, bookings. They’re optimized for conversion, not for helping you think through a trip. The result is a fragmented experience where planning happens everywhere except in your travel app.
Sound familiar?
- Flight options in one tab
- Hotel comparisons in another
- A Google Doc for the itinerary
- A spreadsheet for the budget
- A group chat for coordination
- Notes scattered across three apps
By the time you’re ready to travel, you’re already exhausted.
Designing for How People Actually Think
Waylo inverts the traditional flow. Instead of starting with bookings, we start with intent:
- Mood — What kind of trip do you want?
- Budget — What are you comfortable spending?
- Time — How long do you have?
- Preferences — What matters to you?
The itinerary comes second. The AI assists with planning, recommendations, and optimization—but humans stay in control. No rigid flows. No forced decisions. Just structured flexibility.
Traditional Flow:
Search → Compare → Book → Figure out the rest
Waylo Flow:
Define intent → Explore options → Build itinerary → Track everythingCore Capabilities
AI-Assisted Planning
Describe what you’re looking for, and Waylo generates options that actually match. Not “top 10 things to do in Paris” generic content—real suggestions based on your specific constraints and preferences.
Smart Itinerary Building
Itineraries in Waylo are living documents. They adapt as conditions change—weather shifts, plans evolve, spontaneous opportunities appear. Structure without rigidity.
Expense & Budget Tracking
Every trip has a budget reality. Waylo keeps expenses visible throughout—before, during, and after. No more “how much did we actually spend?” post-trip accounting sessions.
Collaborative Planning
Group trips are coordination nightmares. Waylo handles shared planning without turning it into a project management exercise. Everyone sees the same plan. Changes sync instantly.
Mobile-First, Always Synced
Travel happens on the move. Waylo is built mobile-first, with cloud sync across all devices. Your trip is accessible whether you’re on your laptop at home or your phone in an airport.
What Waylo Is Not
Waylo is not another booking aggregator. We’re not competing with Expedia or Kayak. We’re the planning and organization layer that sits above the tools you already use.
Think of it as the difference between a calendar and email. Email is where transactions happen. The calendar is where you make sense of your time. Waylo is the calendar for travel—turning fragmented data into a coherent, adaptable experience.
Reducing Cognitive Load
The real goal is simple: fewer decisions, less friction, more clarity.
Travel should be exciting, not exhausting. The planning phase should build anticipation, not drain energy. And when you’re actually on the trip, you should be present—not managing logistics.
Every feature in Waylo is evaluated against one question: does this reduce cognitive load or add to it?
The Rare Combination
Intent over chaos is rare in travel. It’s rarer in software generally. Most tools add complexity in the name of “features.” Waylo deliberately does the opposite.
We’re not trying to be everything. We’re trying to be the one place where your trip makes sense.
