Everything You Need to Plan the Perfect Group Trip
welago brings together every tool your crew needs — from the first "where should we go?" to the final "see you there!"
AI handles the tedious parts
welago uses AI throughout the app to save you time, reduce manual data entry, and keep the whole crew moving forward without chasing anyone down.
Confirmation Extraction
Paste a confirmation email, drop a screenshot, or upload a PDF. AI reads it and auto-fills every field — flights, hotels, activities. If your confirmation has both an outbound and return flight, AI finds and adds both.
Live Trip Summary
AI scans RSVPs, open decisions, and travel records to generate a plain-English summary of where the trip stands — and what still needs attention.
Discussion Starters
Can't get the group to weigh in? AI suggests ready-to-post discussion prompts tailored to your trip — like "Best weekend in June for 6 people?" or "Beach house vs hotel — what does everyone prefer?"
AI Poll Generator
Tap "Let AI Build One" and get poll ideas tailored to your trip — like "Best golf courses near Cabo?" or "Top restaurants in Nashville for 8 people?" AI creates a voteable poll with booking links in seconds.
AI Trip Assistant
Ask anything about your trip in plain English — "What time does Diana arrive?", "Who else is on my flight?", "Who hasn't added their travel yet?" The AI knows your crew's RSVPs, travel details, itinerary, and discussions. It answers with real trip data, not generic responses. Paste any confirmation email and AI extracts flights, hotels, car rentals — everything.
Live Voice Conference Calls
Skip the group text. Start a voice call from any discussion or DM and your whole crew gets called on their phone — talk through dates, debate destinations, or finalize the itinerary while everyone multitasks. Dial in with a 6-digit PIN if you prefer. See who's on the call, mute participants, and hang up right from the app. It's real-time coordination without leaving welago.
