I used Muse, Instinct, and Grok Bot to plan my European vacation. Meta's AI agent was my favorite.

Jay Eskenazi, a seasoned traveler with a background in user experience, recently embarked on a three-week European adventure using Meta's Muse AI assistant. Eskenazi, who lives in Los Angeles and has previously worked in user experience for 19 years, planned his itinerary using a combination of Claude, Grok Bot, and Muse. He found that Muse was the most helpful for travel planning, stating that it produced results akin to what a seasoned travel agent from 30 years ago would have accomplished.

Muse's standout feature was its ability to structure the itinerary in a logical and organized manner, taking into account factors such as museum opening hours, free events, and proximity to other attractions. The AI assistant could even map the itinerary on Google Maps, making it easier for Eskenazi to navigate the cities he visited.

Additionally, Muse proactively offered to plan his first night in Barcelona, suggesting venues based on his preferences and availability. Eskenazi also mentioned that Instinct, another AI tool he recently tried, provided good ideas but had limitations in terms of accessibility and understanding user input. Overall, Muse proved to be a valuable companion for Eskenazi's European journey, offering a user-friendly experience that saved him time and energy in the planning process.
