The loop

How Voyade works

Six steps, in the order they actually happen: find a finished trip, make it yours, decide together, split the booking, travel with it live, and keep it.

  1. Phase 0 · Dream

    Start from a trip somebody finished

    The front page is not a search box. It is a feed of complete trips — seventeen days somebody actually took, with the route they drove and the cost they actually paid. Browse the whole thing without an account.

    17 DAYS JULY €€ BALANCED FAMILY
    Cost per person €1,180–1,420

    Every card is its own page, readable and indexable without an account. Creator trips sit next to editorial ones, visibly attributed, ranked the same way.

  2. Phase 0 · Dream

    Make it yours

    One tap clones the trip into a draft and rewrites it for your dates, your group size, your budget, your home airport and your pace. It re-anchors the days, swaps what is shut in November, recalculates the estimates, and flags what it could not check. Sixty seconds from the feed to your version.

    The original stays exactly as its author published it. Your clone is yours, and nothing anyone does to the template afterwards reaches into your trip.

  3. Phase 1 · Plan

    Decide together, in thirty seconds each

    Everyone throws links, cravings and half-ideas into the Idea Pool, then votes Must, Want, Fine or Skip. Disagreement surfaces instead of hiding — "3 must, 2 skip — talk about this one" — and then the AI stitches the winners into a real day-by-day plan and explains every trade-off it made.

    Blarney Castle

    3 must, 2 skip — talk about this one
    Must Want Fine Skip

    Move Blarney to day 11 AI suggested

    Three hours off-route on day 6 and only two Wants. On day 11 it costs forty minutes and one extra night in Cork — €38 each.

    Guests can add ideas, comment and upload photos with a first name only. Voting needs an account, because a vote has to belong to a person — and everything a guest contributed carries over when they make one.

  4. Phase 2 · Book

    Split the booking, kill the martyr

    The plan turns itself into a task list. Anyone can claim a task; every deadline carries the reason it exists. Forward the confirmation email and the estimate becomes an actual, with the variance shown next to it.

    You book on the partner's own site, under their terms, paying them directly — we are not a travel agent and never hold the money. Forward the confirmation email and the estimate becomes an actual, with the cancellation deadline on a watch-list.

  5. Phase 3 · Travel

    The trip goes live

    On departure day the plan becomes Today: what's next, when to leave, the ticket one tap away and cached for no signal. Rain in Killarney is a normal event, not a crisis — ask for a different afternoon and get one.

    Next up Steall Falls 20 min drive, then an hour on foot Leave 15:40
    Booked, nothing to do Crannog on the pier Table at 19:45 · 8 min walk from the cottage Tonight
  6. Phase 4 · Remember

    Keep it, and pass it on

    Within two days of getting home the trip assembles itself into a story: the route drawn on the map, the photos on the right days, planned against actual. Publish it and it becomes the trip somebody else steps into.

    Publishing is blocked until every member has approved their own photos, names are reduced to first names, costs are banded, private notes and chat never leave the trip, and location data is stripped from the images. You see all of that before you confirm. What publishing earns →

Four things that never happen

The AI never applies anything by itself.
Every model output lands as a proposal with a written rationale per change. You accept or reject it. If a person edited the same thing meanwhile, the person wins and the AI's version is marked stale.
The AI never books and never pays.
It cannot hold a card or complete a transaction. Booking is always a human clicking through to the airline, hotel or operator, and the contract is with them.
Your money never passes through us.
Settle-up nets the group down to the fewest transfers and then deep-links into your own banking app. No wallets, no deposits, no processing. Mark-as-settled is your group's record, not our confirmation.
Your budget ceiling is never shown to anyone.
Not to the group, not to the organiser. It derives one signal — whether the plan still fits everyone — and the group sees only that, with no number and no name attached.
