Vela's current workspace with a Lisbon sample trip, daily itinerary and map. Demo data is used.
01

Talk it through, then approve the changes

Want a later start, a shopping day or coffee near a landmark? Tell Vela AI. It uses your current itinerary and place search to suggest changes. Review them before applying, or edit times, durations, order and notes yourself.

02

Find places in links and screenshots

Send a public travel link or screenshot. Vela AI reads available place clues and checks names and locations with place search. Add a result to your itinerary or keep it for later. Login walls, platform restrictions or unclear images may require pasted text, an address or a clearer screenshot.

03

See each day alongside the map

Arrange sights, meals and visit times by day, and compare locations on the map. Reorder stops, move them between days or try a shorter order by distance. Walking and taxi times are estimates. Open a map service for directions when you travel.

04

Keep flights and stays with the plan

Record your own flight and accommodation details alongside dates and travel notes. Weather and journey estimates help with planning. Vela does not book flights, hotels or restaurants, or automatically confirm availability and opening hours.

05

Plan with the people coming along

Invite others as editors or viewers. Members open the trip in their own browsers; authorized edits sync to other members within a few seconds. You can also create a trip-sharing link for people who only need to see the plan.

06

Pack, track costs and keep the documents

Check off packing items, record who paid and split shared expenses. Keep ticket and booking PDFs or images with the trip so members can access them. Storage and individual file limits depend on your plan.

07

Keep places for the next journey

Save favourite places and add them to another trip later. Choose or upload a cover and revisit your travel records in Footprints. Plan on a computer and continue in your phone's browser. The app supports Simplified Chinese, English and Korean.

What it can’t do yet

Better you know now than after you install it.

  • Internet access is required. There are no standalone native Windows, macOS, iOS or Android apps, and full offline use is not promised.
  • Not every link can be read. Login requirements, anti-bot restrictions, private content and video may require pasted text or screenshots instead.
  • Screenshot text must be readable. Recognition and place matching can be wrong: check the name, city and address before applying suggestions.
  • Photos, descriptions, opening information and nearby search coverage vary. Missing results do not prove that a place does not exist.
  • Distances, walking and taxi times and fares are estimates, not live traffic, transit timetables or guaranteed prices. Recheck weather and opening information.
  • Vela does not book or pay for flights, hotels, tickets or restaurants. Enter and verify your own flight and stay details.
  • AI requests, tokens, collaborators and file storage have plan limits. Suggestions need your approval and may be inaccurate.

FAQ

Who is Vela for?

People with a collection of places they want to visit who would rather keep the plan in one place than switch between travel posts, maps, spreadsheets and chats. Plan alone or invite your travel companions.

Does AI change my trip automatically?

In the real planner, Vela AI proposes changes and saves them to your itinerary only after you apply them. You can also edit stops, order, times and notes yourself. Chats in the sample itinerary demonstrate the workflow.

Can it read every social-media link?

No. Vela tries to read public page content, but login, anti-bot and video restrictions differ across Xiaohongshu, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube and other sites. If text cannot be retrieved, send the place name, address or a screenshot. A URL alone is not evidence that a page was read.

Are AI screenshots kept in chat?

A screenshot used for AI recognition is processed with the current request; the original is not retained long-term in chat history. Uploading a trip file or cover is separate and stores that content as a file or cover. Avoid unnecessary identity documents and sensitive material.

Can I book flights, hotels or restaurants?

Not currently. Vela helps organize plans, record your own flight and stay details, store documents and open map services. Complete bookings, payments and confirmations with the relevant provider.

How much do Pro and Max cost?

Pro is US$12/month or US$120/year; Max is US$30/month or US$300/year. Annual plans are charged upfront for the year. Choose card or PayPal at checkout. Other methods, applicable tax and currency conversion depend on the checkout shown to you.

What happens when I cancel renewal?

Cancel renewal from your subscription records in Settings. Paid access normally remains through the already paid period. Refunds or payment disputes can affect the corresponding period. Stopping renewal is not a refund request.
