Twelve real flows

Watch NICO
in motion.

A weekend. A group dinner. A flight day. A rental in Tulum. NICO handles each of them the way the friend with the best taste would.

01/12
How NICO thinks

More than answers.
An understanding of you.

NICO builds a quiet, evolving model of who you are when you travel. The food you reach for, the friends you bring, the energy you want. Every conversation makes the next one sharper.

Taste

Understands your palate.

Natural wine over cocktails, dim lighting, places without a sign on the door. NICO learns the texture of what you like.

Your preferences so far
natural wine no reservation tasting menu walking distance rooftop vinyl
Memory

Asks before it remembers.

NICO notices the patterns. Your window seat, your no-shellfish, the bar you loved. Then asks before saving. No quiet data hoarding. Just a friend with a good memory and your permission.

Noticed: window seats on your last 3 flights. Save as default?
yes ✨
Saved. Window seat going forward.
Group

Coordinates without the chaos.

Polls, budgets, schedule blockers, dietary lines in the sand. NICO threads it all into a single plan everyone agrees on.

5 travelers · 1 plan
Adapts

Rewrites the day when the day changes.

Flight delayed, rain rolled in, friend bailed. NICO quietly reshuffles the itinerary and tells you only what matters.

ThuBeach + grill
FriStorm → museum
SatCoast drive
SunSlow morning
Budget

Books to your number, no matter what it is.

$80 hostel night or $800 suite. NICO scales taste across the price you set, then quietly stays inside it.

Budget$80–150 / nightHostels, locally-run guesthouses
Balanced$200–350 / nightBoutique hotels, design Airbnbs
Splurge$600+ / nightSuites, private villas, no ceiling
Agency Coming soon

Acts the way a great concierge would.

Books the table. Pre-orders the bottle. RSVPs to the pop-up before it caps. NICO doesn't just suggest. NICO commits.

Privacy by default

Your trip, your call.
Always.

NICO is a concierge, not a data broker. We only see what's relevant to a trip, ask before remembering, and never sell what we learn.

  • What NICO sees Only the threads, calendar events, and emails you connect. Nothing more. You see every access, in plain language.
  • Asks before saving No quiet data hoarding. NICO confirms each preference before it remembers, and you can edit or forget any of them.
  • Never sold Your trip data isn't for sale, ever. Revoke any connection in one tap, and your history goes with you.
A link, not a thread

One link.
Everyone's on the same page.

The conversation becomes something you can send. Itinerary, saved places, group consensus, packaged into a shareable trip page that updates as the plan changes.

  • Maya drops in from her phone, sees Day 1 land at MEX, adds the taco truck she's been hyped about.
  • The plan stays current. If Tokyo Music Bar is closed Friday, NICO quietly swaps in another vinyl spot.
  • Send the link to your mom, the group, your future self. No account needed to open it.

The full picture

An operating system
for the way you travel.

Starts as a concierge in your messages. Quietly becomes the layer underneath everything trip-shaped — the fifteen tabs you don't have to open anymore.

01
Messaging-first planning
No new app, no forms. NICO lives in the thread you already use — text it, voice-note it, share a screenshot.
02
Collaborative trip threads
Add your friends, NICO reads the room. Polls, dietary flags, budget gaps, schedule blockers. Then drafts a plan everyone can actually live with.
03
Travel personality
A quiet, evolving model of your taste, your tempo, your travel energy. Every trip sharpens it.
04
AI-generated day plans
Hour by hour pacing — walks, breaks, the right reservation at the right time.
05
Neighborhood discovery
Past the city-level Top 10s. NICO thinks in blocks, side streets, and which way the light falls at 5pm.
06
Real-time itinerary repair Coming soon
Flight delayed, restaurant closed, weather flipped. NICO rewrites the day before you've opened your phone.
07
Smart budget reads
NICO infers what “splurge night” or “cheap and great” means for you. No sliders.
08
Trip memory
Every place you loved is remembered. Every meal that flopped, too. The next trip starts ahead.
09
Bookings, end-to-end Coming soon
Restaurants, hotels, experiences — NICO books them in-thread, then handles the resched when it has to.
