AI-powered trip planning tools have emerged. As research for this article, I told one of them (Layla), “I’m working from the beach near LA and need to take a meeting in the middle of the day at a quiet coffee shop.” “She” instantly gave me five suggestions.
- We all thought that suitcases on wheels were innovative. (They didn’t roll out until the 1980s.) But now, several companies are developing robot suitcases that can follow you, avoid obstacles, and even chat with you. Kinda cool but kinda creepy!

But what do you put into that robot suitcase? Packtor practically remembers everything. There’s nothing worse than sitting on a plane and realizing you forgot an important household task before heading on a Bleisure Living trip. This free, simple platform populates an extremely helpful checklist for you before you travel and is customized based on the length of your trip so that when you are working or playing, you can rest assured you didn’t forget a thing.

What’s a trip without some pics? Pictory saves (and can edit) your photos. Remove those hundred weird strangers from your photo with colleagues in Times Square. Or take those shot glasses off the table easily and quickly. This easy-to-use AI photo-editing app creates moments that your friends, colleagues (and even your HR department) will love. Canva is also terrific for photo editing and creating albums. Their new enterprise version has lots of uses for work teams too!
- ChatGPT has many applications for travel. It has both research and writing capabilities. You can plan travel, draft notes to your team members and others before your travel, explain to your manager why you are working from a certain time zone, or need guidance for requesting PTO. The more context you give the platform, the better and more curated advice you’ll receive.
Looking for more AI-powered travel tools? “There’s an AI For That!” That site is basically an AI-powered directory of AI!
Travel is a human experience, but technology can help us do it better. Remember to ALWAYS check the advice and directions you’re getting from your “automated butler and travel agent.” Like people, AI can be smart but still make mistakes!
