Workflow A: Full Trip Planning

Phase 1: Flight Search (if applicable)

// Search Google Flights
var page = await browser.newtab("https://www.google.com/travel/flights")
await page.wait({ waitTime: 3 })
// Enter: origin, destination, dates, passengers
// Capture: airline, times, stops, price for top 5-8 options

// Cross-reference with Kayak
await page.goto({ url: "https://www.kayak.com/flights/[origin]-[dest]/[dates]" })
await page.wait({ waitTime: 5 })
// Capture: additional options, price alerts

// Cross-reference with Skyscanner for budget options
await page.goto({ url: "https://www.skyscanner.com/transport/flights/[origin]/[dest]/[dates]" })

Output: Comparison table of top 5 flight options across platforms.

Phase 2: Accommodation Search

// Search Booking.com
await page.goto({ url: "https://www.booking.com/searchresults.html?ss=[destination]&checkin=[date]&checkout=[date]&group_adults=[n]" })
// Filter by: price range, rating 8+, location
// Capture: name, price/night, rating, location, amenities

// Search Airbnb
await page.goto({ url: "https://www.airbnb.com/s/[destination]/homes?checkin=[date]&checkout=[date]&adults=[n]" })
// Capture: name, price/night, rating, type, amenities

Output: Top 5 hotels + Top 5 Airbnbs with price/rating comparison.

Phase 3: Attraction Discovery

// Search TripAdvisor
await page.goto({ url: "https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-[destination]" })
// Sort by: rating, then filter by category (user preference)
// Capture: name, rating, review count, price, hours, location

// Use Google Maps for proximity grouping
// Group attractions by neighborhood for efficient daily routing

Phase 4: Itinerary Generation

Build a day-by-day plan optimized for:

• Geographic proximity (minimize daily travel distance)
• Opening hours (visit attractions when open)
• Meal timing (breakfast, lunch, dinner spots near activities)
• Energy management (mix active/relaxing activities)
• Budget pacing (spread expensive activities across days)

## Day 1: [Neighborhood/Theme]
- 9:00 AM: [Attraction 1] (rating, est. time, cost)
- 11:30 AM: [Lunch spot] (cuisine, price range)
- 1:00 PM: [Attraction 2]
- 4:00 PM: [Coffee/rest break]
- 6:00 PM: [Dinner reservation]
- Transport: [How to get between locations]
- Day budget: $XX

Phase 5: Calendar Sync

for (var day of itinerary.days) {
  for (var activity of day.activities) {
    await google.calendar.createEvent({
      summary: activity.name,
      description: activity.details + "\nAddress: " + activity.address + "\nCost: " + activity.cost,
      location: activity.address,
      start: activity.startTime,
      end: activity.endTime
    })
  }
}

Phase 6: Budget Tracker

var sheet = await google.sheets.createSpreadsheet({
  title: "Trip Budget - [Destination] - [Dates]",
  sheets: ["Overview", "Flights", "Hotels", "Activities", "Food", "Transport"]
})
// Overview sheet: category totals, budget vs actual
// Each category sheet: individual items with prices

Phase 7: Trip Document Export

var doc = await google.docs.createDocument({ title: "Trip Plan: [Destination]" })
// Insert: flight details, hotel confirmation, daily itinerary, restaurant list, emergency contacts, packing list

Workflow B: Quick Flight/Hotel Search Only

Skip the full planning, just compare prices across platforms for a specific search.

Workflow C: Day Trip / Activity Planning

For users already at a destination who need help planning a single day.

Output Quality Checks

• All prices verified across at least 2 platforms
• Attraction hours confirmed current
• Travel times between locations estimated via Google Maps
• Total budget calculated and compared to user's limit
• Emergency info included (local embassy, hospital, emergency number)
