SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Travel planning startup Wanderboat has launched a major update to its AI-powered platform, introducing a redesigned interface that promises a more intuitive and community-driven travel experience.

Since its beta release earlier this summer, Wanderboat has reached a milestone of engaging in over 4 million conversations globally, helping users discover local gems and plan trips. The company has been rapidly improving its search engine and AI user interface based on feedback from more than 100 of those users. This valuable input has shaped the development of a refreshed UI that not only simplifies travel planning but also amplifies user-generated content and fosters deeper community engagement.

The update introduces several key sections designed to make travel planning streamlined and immersive. Users now start in the Travel Plan section, where they can create and manage their itineraries from start to finish, guiding them through scheduling and organizing every aspect of their trip. For more spontaneous travelers, the Outing option offers recommendations for nearby attractions, events, and activities based on their current location. Meanwhile, the Import feature allows users to upload existing tickets and itineraries, providing additional suggestions to enhance their plans.

The update also introduces new features that highlight the importance of Wanderboat's growing community. With over 10,000 community posts, travelers have eagerly shared their discoveries, tips, and photos. The redesigned interface now puts community contributions front and center, making it easier than ever to upload and browse shared content.

"I really like the  UI; it's clean and clear, which makes it super easy to navigate. I especially like the prompts above the search bar—it's a nice touch that helps guide the experience," says a Wanderboat community member and beta user.

The most significant upgrade lies in Wanderboat's proprietary search engine, which now features enhanced location cards. These cards include a Media section, allowing users to explore destinations through photos and videos sources from social media. They also include reviews, the best photo spots and nearby activities allowing users to do all their travel research on a single page.

"Wanderboat's community has been instrumental in shaping our latest updates to our interface" said Wanderboat Founder and CEO You Wu. "With this release, we've created a more immersive experience where users can visualize a destination before they even step foot there."

Looking ahead, Wanderboat is set to release a mobile app later this fall. The app will bring the best features of the web platform to mobile, offering on-the-go travelers local recommendations, city guides, and more.
