Riccardo P.

Riccardo covers the AI side of travel — which tools work, which ones hallucinate, what the difference is between asking ChatGPT to plan a trip and using software actually built for it. He has a software-engineering background (six years at travel-adjacent startups in Berlin and Amsterdam) and approaches AI itinerary tools the way you'd approach any other software: test it, break it, write down what failed.

His comparison reviews are based on identical test prompts run against multiple tools, with the same fact-check pass on every output. He's not anti-ChatGPT — he uses it daily — but he's clear-eyed about where it breaks down for trip planning. He travels mostly to test things: a tool that promises good Tokyo recommendations gets tested in Tokyo, not in his living room.
