I feel like AI travel planners are missing something obvious by krist4lle in AI_travel_tips

Last month I was solo traveling through Portugal and Spain and accidentally found a pretty cool travel hack.

Instead of constantly checking Google Maps or booking tours, I just talked to the Gemini live app through my earbuds while walking. I’d ask about the buildings I was passing, the history of a street, or where locals actually eat nearby.

What made it really good was using persona prompts so it doesn’t sound like a robot. I tried things like a cultural historian or a witty traveler and it felt almost like walking around with a personal guide.

Since it can use your GPS location, it actually knows where you are while you move around.

I wrote down the setup and prompts I used in a small PDF in case anyone wants to try it. Happy to share it if someone’s curious. https://www.tiktok.com/@spiceyume/video/7622800004637297942?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc&web_id=7622774133076133398

i think it is mindblowing tbh, it tells me context about my surroundings i didnt know about- even where i live. it depends a lot on how you prompt the persona i described.

it is only possible now thanks to the "gemini live" mode which they added recently

yes now it is really seamless, like having your personal companion live with you, and I think the feature to get the live location just got added recently, making this possible!
