With over 16 million places and 350 million data points, Tripnotes is a place recommendation engine that is highly personalized to you and the place you are going. Understanding factors like time of day, traffic, and geography, Tripnotes was built to recommend the best places at the right time.
Tripnotes went viral
We launched this video showcasing the Tripnotes mobile experience on Twitter, and it quickly went viral. The founder of Foursquare praised it, saying, “Dig this. I keep telling people working on city guide startups: ‘You can’t just make a better version of Yelp; you have to reinvent the whole category of local search.’” This video led to over 1 million people trying Tripnotes in under 60 days.
Easy as copy and paste
Travel planning starts in a variety of places but a majority of it is text: notes, emails, articles, etc. Tripnotes is a text-native app – getting into our ecosystem is as easy as copy and paste. All context is preserved and helpful UI is drawn inline and on the map panel.
Never miss a spot
Using AI to generate travel plans is magic, but using plans when you arrive at your destination needs to be simple & seamless. Enter iOS 16 and Live Activities. Now you can explore freely without the stress of missing a place or reservation.
Import places from TikTok
TikTok is an incredible resource for travel inspiration, so Tripnotes tapped into that. Found a great recommendation? Share to Tripnotes (or paste in the link) and Tripnotes will find each place, map them and connect all the helpful details. Simple as that.

Custom trained AI models generated over 300 million unique data points
Tripnotes streamlines travel planning by parsing various media to identify and organize mentioned destinations. It extracts location information from copied text, reads pages from URLs, and analyzes videos by converting speech to text. Tripnotes then maps each location, aggregating rich media, user reviews, and contact information, creating a comprehensive, personalized travel resource.
