[Kerwin At AI Travel Pulse] I Cheated on Claude With Perplexity

In partnership with

Hi AI Traveler,

I hope you are well today.

Fresh off doing my taxes, I'm ready to get back to AI work in the travel space.

What would you like me to cover in this newsletter?

Hit reply and let me know.

Also, let me know how you are using AI?

I was using Claude and burning tokens like crazy. It just wasn’t getting what I was asking it to do. So I went over to Perplexity. It had a hard time too, but it did figure out the issue and solved the problem. I then took the solution back to Claude and voila, all done :-). Take a look at what it was doing for me at https://www.passrider.com/world-cup-2026/houston/. Still needs more work, but much needed.

North America is hosting the FIFA World Cup this summer. Is your website ready?

Start using AI to help you generate content and tools if you cover North America. People will want to know immigration rules, health information, ground transportation, hotel information, food information and so much more. Dont forget grocery stores too. When I travel solo, I dont eat out, I use grocery stores as its cheaper :).

Brainstorm with the LLMs, to create something for your audience.

From Ideation To Creation Quickly

I had an idea born out of a problem I saw someone describe online. I wrote some requirements, thought it through and had a prototype in minutes.

I ran it through once and added some more features and will run it through again. This will be epic once complete as it will help travel content creators craft pitches which is a huge pain points!

Stay tuned for the reveal.

🧪 THE PROMPT LAB

Here's a prompt that you should use right now. Use it in Claude, Perplexity, Google Gemini, ChatGPT or Manus. 

I have a specific problem: [Insert a travel pain point, e.g., 'Creating a budget-friendly grocery guide for World Cup fans in <insert city>']. Act as a Product Engineer. Help me outline a 3-step technical requirement document to build a simple AI tool that solves this. Then, generate the first version of the content or code I need to make it a reality.

DMO CORNER

Also, I went to Google Maps and they are now integrating Gemini into their Maps. Ai is everywhere in travel.

That’s all I got this time. See you again in the regular format soon.
