Ask Layla

Layla is an AI travel agent that plans trips and then books them. You give it dates, destinations, budget and travel style, and it builds a day by day itinerary covering flights, hotels, car rentals, activities and dining, using live pricing and availability. The plan can be changed in conversation, swapping a museum for a wine tour or adding a day trip, and it updates immediately. It is aimed at travelers who would otherwise assemble a trip across several booking sites. Alongside the automated planner, the service offers human travel experts who can take a trip from start to finish, understanding requirements, building the itinerary, making the bookings and adjusting plans later. The two can be combined, so a plan drafted with the assistant is handed to a person to finish. It handles multi city itineraries and road trips, optimizing routes between destinations across flights, trains and car rentals, and compares live prices for flights, hotels, trains and activities. Planning can also start from an open prompt such as asking where to go or arranging a last minute escape. The service states that it is free to use, with no subscription fee and no planning charge, and that access to the human travel experts carries no extra planning cost. You pay only for the flights, hotels, activities and other travel you choose to book. There is no pricing page on the site. One practical note: the address listed in many directories, justasklayla.com, now redirects permanently to layla.ai, and the live site sits behind a bot challenge that can block automated access.
