> Let Claude, ChatGPT or Perplexity find, plan and save itineraries in your Travelyfe account.

Connect an AI assistant such as Claude, ChatGPT or Perplexity to your Travelyfe account and you can plan an itinerary by chatting. Ask for four days in Lisbon and the assistant builds the itinerary and saves it to Travelyfe, ready to open on your phone.

Choose your assistant: [Claude](https://docs.ahmedmediagroup.com/en/connect-an-assistant/claude), [ChatGPT](https://docs.ahmedmediagroup.com/en/connect-an-assistant/chatgpt) or [Perplexity](https://docs.ahmedmediagroup.com/en/connect-an-assistant/perplexity).

## What An Assistant Can Do

- **Find ideas.** Search itineraries that travellers have published to Explore.
- **Read your itineraries.** Look through the ones you have made, including drafts, and the ones shared with you.
- **Build and change them.** Create a whole itinerary in one go, then change its details, days, stops, flights, hotels and cover image.
- **Suggest activities.** Offer up to three bookable activities for a stop and attach the one you pick.
- **Keep your lists.** Add expenses and packing items, and read your document names. Pro

Everything an assistant creates is saved as a private itinerary in your account. Only you can publish it to Explore, and only in the Travelyfe app.

## What An Assistant Can't Do

- Delete a whole itinerary, or publish or share one.
- Import from a TikTok, Reel or YouTube video. Use **Create** in the Travelyfe app for those. Assistants can still read a web page, a PDF or photos you share in the chat and turn them into an itinerary.
- Change your account, your settings or your subscription.
- Open your travel documents. It can see their names and kinds, never what is inside them.

## How To Connect

1. Open your assistant's settings on the web and add Travelyfe as a custom connector. The steps for each assistant are on its own page.

2. When it asks for an address, enter `https://api.travelyfe.com/mcp`.

3. A Travelyfe sign-in page opens. Sign in and approve access. That's it: you don't need a key, a password or any other details.

You need a Travelyfe account to connect. Setting up a custom connector is part of your assistant's own plans, so check its page for what you need.

## What Is Shared

The assistant sees the itineraries it reads for you and what you type in the chat. It sends back only what it creates or changes. Your password is never shared, because you sign in on Travelyfe's own page.

Packing, expenses and document names are shared only with a Pro account. Travelyfe never gives an assistant what is inside your travel documents.

What your assistant does with your chat is covered by its own privacy settings, not Travelyfe's. Travelyfe's [privacy policy](https://travelyfe.com/privacy) covers your account.

## Disconnect

Disconnecting takes two quick steps, so nothing is left behind.

4. Remove Travelyfe from your assistant's connector settings.

5. In Travelyfe, open **Account > Settings > Integrations**, choose the assistant, then confirm. The section only appears while something is connected.

You can do the second step in the Travelyfe app or at [travelyfe.com](https://travelyfe.com). The assistant loses access to your account.

## If It Doesn't Work

- **The assistant asks you to sign in again.** Reconnect from its connector settings. A connection you haven't used for about three months stops, to keep your account safe.
- **It can't create or change anything.** Some assistant plans only allow reading. Check your assistant's page.
- **"Part of Travelyfe Pro".** Packing, expenses and document names need Pro. See [Subscribe To Travelyfe Pro](https://docs.ahmedmediagroup.com/en/pro/plans).
- **It says the itinerary already exists.** Travelyfe won't make a second itinerary for the same destination and dates. Ask the assistant to change the one you have.
- **You can't find the itinerary in the app.** It is a private draft, so look under **Account** and filter by **Private**.
- **Nothing helps.** Disconnect and connect again, or [contact support](https://docs.ahmedmediagroup.com/en/amg/support).
