Plan a group trip without the group chat chaos

One person plans, everyone sees the same plan

The planner is the person who starts the conversation. You tell DirectoryBro who is going, roughly what each person wants to spend and what kind of trip it is, and it drafts an itinerary you can keep refining. Because the plan is a real document rather than a pile of messages, there is one version of the truth.

When it looks right, save the trip and copy the share link. Friends open the link in any browser and read the full itinerary, including flights, hotels, activities and estimated costs. They do not need an account, so there is no signup wall between you and a quick thumbs up.

Useful starting prompts for groups

The more concrete you are, the better the result. A good group prompt names the number of people, the dates or month, the departure city, the budget per person and the mix of activities. For example: "What are the best restaurants and clubs in Miami for a group of 6 this weekend? Mix of upscale and affordable." That gives the AI a group size, a place, a timeframe and a price range to work with.

Other prompts that work well: a long weekend away for a birthday with a per-person cap, a beach trip that has to include something for the kids, or a trip where people are flying in from different cities and need a central meeting point. You can ask follow-ups like "swap the second dinner for something cheaper" and the plan changes in the same conversation.

Live price search for the numbers that matter

Splitting costs only works if the costs are real. On paid plans, DirectoryBro uses real-time web search to pull live flight prices, hotel rates and event information, so the estimates in your shared itinerary come from current listings. That gives your group something concrete to react to, like "the hotel is about this much a night, so about this much each."

Rates and availability move, so use the estimates to decide and then confirm the final price with the airline or hotel before anyone pays.

The Bro Plan for groups and frequent travellers

The Bro Plan is built for people who organise trips for others. It includes everything in Explorer, plus group trip planning and sharing, sharing of full itineraries with friends, priority AI responses, 3x contributor points on reviews and early access to curated hidden gems. It is $19 per month, or $149 billed annually. If you only have one big trip coming up, the $6.99 Trip Pass gives you 7 days of unlimited AI queries with live web search and no subscription, and you can still save and share the plan.

Every plan can be cancelled from the billing portal, and access continues until the end of the billing period.

Tips for getting a group to commit

Share the plan early and ask people to react to it rather than to a blank page; it is far easier to say "swap this day" than to invent a trip from nothing. Agree the budget per person before you start so the AI plans inside it. And decide the one or two fixed points, such as the dates and the city, before you look at details. Everything else can flex inside the conversation.
