25.421 - 38.275 Kim Komando

Here's what I'd like you to try today. Open ChatGPT or Gemini and say, it's Friday, I'm tired. Give me one fun thing for Saturday, one productive thing for Sunday, and some real downtime. Budget's 100 bucks. Plan it.

38.295 - 52.837 Kim Komando

30 seconds later, you've got a Saturday morning farmer's market with a five-star coffee shop nearby, a Sunday afternoon to batch cook three meals with recipes, and a schedule that tells you when to knock out the laundry so it doesn't hijack the day. Want to go further?

Chapter 3: How can AI simplify my weekend activities?

53.297 - 75.029 Kim Komando

Alrighty then, Steve in Salt Lake City, Utah. Oh, I love this. A European vacation right up my alley. I love to travel. What's going on? Hello, Kim. How are you? Great, great.

146.835 - 153.405 Steve

It's a pleasure to speak with you and Andrew today. I'm looking forward to this conversation. So you're planning to trip? Are you taking us with you?

153.665 - 155.248 Kim Komando

Yeah, are you taking us with you?

155.268 - 175.433 Steve

Unfortunately, I can't do that. Uncle Steve. Oh, brother Steve. I know. Yeah, my daughter's been in the Army for the past five years, and she's getting out in the middle of April. Oh, nice. So my wife and I are planning, she wants to go to the U.K., so we're going to take her on a 10- to 12-day trip to the U.K.,

175.902 - 199.173 Steve

So my goal is to plan out the whole trip using AI, like we're going to start in London and end up in Manchester. So like 12 days, rental car, where to stay, because we want to stay like in base. She's a big Pride and Prejudice Jane Austen girl. So she wants to go see all these little villages and... How fabulous. That's going to be so fun.

Chapter 4: What is the best way to utilize AI for trip planning?

218.265 - 240.119 Steve

And when you Google it or whatever, you get to, like, bookings.com or, you know, these different travel sites, right? And they have their AI. But they want you to, you know, everything through them, right? So I don't want to do that. So I'm just looking for good AI, you know, plan a good 10-, 12-day trip, you know, Here's the areas we want to see and see what it says.

240.679 - 243.943 Kim Komando

I would probably start with Gemini, Google Gemini.

0

244.664 - 245.045 Steve

Google Gemini?

0

245.065 - 266.71 Kim Komando

Yeah, because it'll pull directly from Google Maps and Google Flights and will give you some real-time info. And then it will also factor in driving time, trains, stops, things like that. And the more information that you give it, the better the agenda will be. I mean, you can say, you know, we want to maybe go for a 30-minute walk or we want to see, like you said, Jane Austen type of things.

266.69 - 291.827 Kim Komando

Now, there are specialty trip planning AI, like one is called Wonder Plan that you might want to check out. I personally, anytime I want to do this is that I used to use ChatGPT, but I found it lacking recently because I'm thinking about, I was planning a ski trip over the weekend and I tried to use ChatGPT. And I was like, you know what? You used to be good, but now you're lame.

292.268 - 296.735 Kim Komando

And so I went over to Gemini and it seemed to really do a good job.

297.016 - 301.042 Steve

Okay. Cause I know there's a lot like Claude's out there. You know, there's a lot of different platforms.

301.623 - 324.698 Kim Komando

Claude is Claude is Claude is more for, I would say business use. Okay. ChatGBT is more for general personal use. And Gemini seems to be the winner right now. They've been leapfrogging on who's better. And I think right now I'm using all three and I find myself gravitating more towards either Claude if I'm doing like an outline, some scripting or things like that.

325.259 - 331.408 Kim Komando

And then Gemini if I'm trying to do some planning or if I need some instant answers.

Chapter 5: How can I effectively plan a trip using AI tools?

461.722 - 475.177 Kim Komando

Really? And the light rail. Oh, I've done the light rail. That was fun. Yeah, I just did it once. That's me too. Never. I think everybody does just do it once. Hey, Steve, have a great trip. Thanks for your call. Hey, want to stay in the tech now without wasting your time?
