The Problem

Planning group trips is notoriously frustrating. Coordinating schedules, preferences, and budgets across multiple people typically involves endless group chats, scattered Google Docs, and inevitably, someone feeling left out of decisions.

Existing solutions either focus on individual travel or require everyone to use complex tools. There's no simple way for friends to collaboratively plan, vote, and organize a trip together.

The Solution

Herd brings every aspect of group travel planning into one collaborative platform. Instead of scattered conversations and multiple apps, friends can:

  • Plan together: Create shared trip boards, invite friends via link, and collaborate in real-time
  • Make decisions democratically: Built-in polls let everyone vote on destinations, activities, and restaurants
  • Let AI do the heavy lifting: GPT-4 generates personalized itineraries based on group preferences, budget, and travel style
  • Handle money transparently: Track expenses, split bills fairly, and settle up with integrated payment tracking
  • Stay organized: Store all flight confirmations, hotel bookings, and travel documents in one place
  • Document the journey: Create rich travel journals with photos and memories during and after the trip
