Connect ChatGPT
Add Travelyfe to ChatGPT so it can plan and save itineraries for you.
ChatGPT connects to Travelyfe through developer mode, which lets you add an app of your own. See Connect An Assistant for what that allows.
Before You Start
- Plan. Developer mode is available on Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Edu. Full support, including creating and changing itineraries, is in beta for Business, Enterprise and Edu. On Plus and Pro, OpenAI currently limits custom apps to finding and reading, so ChatGPT can look through your itineraries but may not be able to create or edit them.
- Where. Set it up at chatgpt.com in a browser. OpenAI says these apps are web only and aren't in the mobile apps.
- Workspaces. On Business, only admins and owners can use developer mode. On Enterprise and Edu, an admin has to grant it to you first.
Connect
In ChatGPT, open Settings and turn on Developer mode. OpenAI's help centre lists it under Apps > Advanced settings; its developer pages list it under Security and login.
In Settings > Apps, choose Create.
Name the app Travelyfe, enter the address https://api.travelyfe.com/mcp in the server URL field, and choose OAuth for sign-in.
Choose Scan Tools. ChatGPT opens a Travelyfe sign-in page: sign in and approve access, then wait for the scan to finish.
Choose Create. Travelyfe appears under Settings > Apps with a Dev label.
Use It
Start a new chat, choose Developer mode from the + menu and select Travelyfe, or name Travelyfe in your message. For example: Use Travelyfe to plan four days in Lisbon in May.
ChatGPT asks you to confirm before it changes your itineraries. Anything it creates is saved to your account as a private itinerary.
To turn a web page, a PDF or photos into an itinerary, share them in the chat and ask ChatGPT to save it to Travelyfe. For a TikTok, Reel or YouTube video, use Create in the Travelyfe app.
Disconnect
Remove the app from Settings > Apps in ChatGPT. Then, in Travelyfe, open Account > Settings > Integrations and disconnect ChatGPT.
If It Doesn't Work
- ChatGPT asks you to sign in again. Reconnect the app from Settings > Apps.
- It can find itineraries but not create them. On Plus and Pro, OpenAI limits custom apps to reading for now.
- You can't see Developer mode. Check your plan, and on Business, Enterprise and Edu ask an admin to turn it on.
- Travelyfe isn't used in the chat. Choose it from the + menu, or name it in your message.
