AI plans fast. Agents make it perfect.
What we learned testing seasoned agents, beginner agents, and Muse Spark 1.3 on a real trip: Kyoto + Tokyo/Hakone, 9 days. Down-to-earth, practical, no nonsense.
01 · Seasoned agents turn C trips into A trips
Same budget, totally different trip. Timing (Fushimi 7am), stays (machiya + private-onsen ryokan), logistics (reserved Shinkansen + luggage forwarding), and one phone call when things break.
02 · Beginners can sell like veterans — with our tools
The gap is pattern recognition + supplier access. Give them: itinerary starters with C→A upgrades, hotel truth-sheets, crowd calendars, one-click proposals.
03 · Muse Spark 1.3: brilliant drafter, weak guarantor
Full 9-day draft in ~20 seconds. Great skeleton, food + etiquette lists, fast rewrites. But: no live prices, generic picks, no relationships, no accountability.
