I've been planning vacations with ChatGPT's Deep Research since it became available. Absolutely brilliant!From finding areas with favorite activities for each parents, teens and kids to discovering the do-not-miss attractions and scheduling our vacation between them - it is invaluable. I've seen places I never knew existed in countries I've never been to before and speaking languages I did not speak.Very few mistakes and lots more flexibility and understanding than the travel agents I used before. I do write long prompts though with lots and lots of info about our family and what we like to do.Not yet good at finding, filtering by our criteria, comparing and booking available accommodation yet, but it's getting there.
Reported result
The author reports discovering previously unknown destinations and finding the process more flexible than traditional travel agents. They note very few mistakes in the planning phase but do not provide quantitative metrics on time saved or cost reduction. The accommodation booking capability is described as incomplete, implying that final execution still relies on human effort.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Deep Research is not yet proficient at finding, filtering, comparing, or booking accommodations based on specific criteria. The workflow requires the user to write long, detailed prompts with extensive family information to achieve good results. Source reliability is secondary, based on a single user comment without verified execution logs or financial data.
Try it
Act as a travel planning assistant using ChatGPT's Deep Research capabilities. I will provide a detailed profile of my family, including ages, interests, and preferred activities for parents, teens, and children. Your task is to identify three potential vacation destinations that offer a mix of activities for all age groups. For each destination, list do-not-miss attractions and propose a tentative 5-day itinerary. Do not attempt to book accommodations or flights. Instead, provide a list of criteria I should use to search for hotels manually. Before finalizing any itinerary, present a sample plan for one destination and wait for my confirmation that the activity mix is appropriate. If the initial suggestions lack specific family-friendly details, ask clarifying questions about our preferences. Ensure all recommendations are based on current information and clearly distinguish between verified attractions and general suggestions.
