# Using Ask Plannery

Ask questions about your trip, a day, or a place in plain language, and let Ask Plannery propose changes you approve before they happen.

**Ask Plannery** is a conversation about your trip. Ask about a day, a place, or the shape of the whole thing; get recommendations drawn as cards; and let it work out changes to your itinerary that you approve before anything moves. You need to be signed in to use it.

## Opening a conversation

There are three ways in. They differ only in what the conversation is about:

- **The bar at the bottom of the screen.** On Home, **Guides**, **Bookings**, **Packing**, **Trip Settings** and place pages, a bar reading **Ask anything about your trip** sits above the navigation. Tap it to ask about the trip you are in. It is not shown on the **Itinerary**, **Map** or **Explore** tabs.
- **Ask about this day.** Beside **Add** at the end of a day's list on the **Itinerary**. Opens a conversation with that day attached.
- **Ask about this place.** On a stop's detail sheet, and on a place in a **Guide**. Opens a conversation with that place attached.

## The chip in the composer

When you open Ask Plannery from a day or a place, it appears as a chip inside the composer, above where you type. The chip tells Ask Plannery what you mean by "this".

- It stays attached for your next messages, so a follow-up about the same day costs nothing.
- Tap the **X** on the chip to remove it.
- Attaching a day only says what you are looking at. Ask Plannery can still change other days if you ask.

## Prompt suggestions

A new conversation opens on a headline such as **Ask about this day** and a short list of suggested questions written for that particular day or place. Tap one to send it as if you had typed it.

## Cards in replies

Alongside its answer, Ask Plannery can show things rather than describe them:

- **Place cards** — photo, type, price band and neighborhood. Tap a card to open the same detail panel the guides use. Tap the bookmark on the photo to **Add to Want to go**. Two or more places get a small map above them.
- **Day cards** — a day's stops in order, each with its time. A stop with no time says **no time** rather than being sorted to the end. Tap any row to open its detail sheet.

## Proposals: changes you approve first

Adding a single stop happens right away. Anything that touches several items, or moves or removes something already on the itinerary, is shown first as a **Day card** marked **Proposed — not applied yet**:

- A stop getting a new time shows both clocks — the old one struck through — labelled **New time**.
- A stop leaving the day is struck through and labelled **Leaving this day**.
- A stop arriving is added to the list and labelled **Moving here**.

Tap **Make this update** to apply it, or **Cancel** to leave the day as it is. If someone else on the trip has changed one of those items in the meantime, the update is not applied — Ask Plannery tells you and offers to think again.

## Your conversations

The history icon in the panel's header, **Your conversations**, lists past threads under **Today**, **Yesterday** and **Older**. Tap one to pick it up where you left off. The pencil icon, **New conversation**, starts a fresh one.

Every conversation is private to you. Nobody else on the trip can read your threads, and you cannot read theirs.
