Mindtrip Becomes Travelers' Ultimate Companion with Launch of New AI-Powered App That Pinpoints Must-See Attractions, Restaurants and Hidden Gems Nearby

Whether discovering a bustling city or exploring a remote destination, Mindtrip's free app enhances every trip by surfacing things to do nearby that match your exact travel vibe

SAN FRANCISCO, June 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mindtrip, an AI powered platform that empowers everyone to travel differently, today announced the launch of its ultimate on-trip companion, the Mindtrip mobile app. With personalization and location based technology at its core, the app is the first in the space to take the heavy lift out of on-trip travel planning by surfacing the exact hidden gems, must-see destinations, restaurants and activities nearby that meet each user's unique travel vibe.

"Our new app is designed to be every traveler's secret weapon," said Andy Moss, co-founder and CEO of Mindtrip. "No longer do you have to do extensive research before visiting a destination. Instead, with Mindtrip's app, we've amplified our incredible AI knowledge base of over 10,000,000 points of interest with social proof from over 30,000 local experts to provide users with tailor made, real-time recommendations for things they must do nearby. With our new app, we're offering an entirely new on-trip experience and we can't wait to see how travelers of all ages take advantage of it in the wild."

Rooted in personalization, the app starts by asking a few questions to get to know the type of traveler you are as well as your specific preferences. If you are on a trip, travelers will be asked questions about what they are looking to do first. From there, it identifies your exact location to begin to surface up sights and activities that those 'in the know' rave about nearby.

The app then will create a custom prompt to start a conversation with travelers about what they want to explore. Travelers can note anything they want to do. With specific hotels and restaurants, to off-the-beaten path galleries and locals-only hangouts, the app then shows these recommendations compared to your proximity on an interactive map, enabling you to explore and visually search for whatever meets your fancy close by. The app also empowers you to change your search area as you go, zooming in and out of different locations to help plan for what's next as you move around.

To help keep track of each fluid change, the app then makes it easy for you to add new activities to an existing itinerary, as well as catalogue your hotel, airline or restaurant bookings, museum or theater tickets and receipts all in one place.

For those who want to explore their surroundings visually, Mindtrip offers a "magic camera" feature where travelers can take a photo of anything they come across and the app will use multimodal AI capabilities to provide information about it. This can be anything from neighborhood photos, to statues, to parks, and Mindtrip will expand on learnings. Travelers can even upload a photo of a street sign or restaurant menu and have Mindtrip translate it in real-time.

"Mindtrip's new app is an exciting example of what multimodality can unlock when applied to experiences like travel," said OpenAI's Head of Startups Marc Manara. "It combines OpenAI's multimodal capabilities – like voice input and audio responses – with real-time location intelligence and deep personalization, helping travelers explore the world around them in a far more dynamic way than was ever possible before."

The app also gives travelers the reassurance that everything they see as recommended is vetted. Users are informed when Mindtrip's recommendations are also mentioned in local guides and while on-the-go, they can search through Mindtrip's community mentions to read real-time reviews from real people, adding social proof throughout the app.

Expanding on the company's evolution, Moss said, "Mindtrip began with a goal of helping travelers at every point in their journey - from inspiration to booking - but now, with our app, we are bringing real-time discovery and assistance into the fold. Travelers don't follow one path and we're proud to be delivering an all new way for them to easily maximize every element of their journey."

Having already helped hundreds of thousands of travelers plan trips per month through its website alone, Mindtrip's iPhone app is the next step in the company's journey. For more information about Mindtrip's new app and its innovative suite of solutions, please visit www.mindtrip.ai.
