Packing list generator

AI-assisted packing planner that builds trip-specific lists from destination, length, and activities.

PackPilot landing page headlined 'Build the perfect packing list in minutes,' with a sample Lisbon packing list, a three-step how-it-works row, and activity chips.

What it solves

Most packing lists are too generic, so travelers forget things because the list doesn't account for trip length, weather, destination, activities, outfit changes, workouts, formal events, laundry access, international requirements, or sport-specific gear. The app builds a trip-specific list using structured logic plus AI research.

Built for Travelers — frequent, vacation, business, family, and outdoor travelers, digital nomads, and students abroad, plus group and retreat organizers.

Overview

Users enter destination, trip length, purpose, traveler count, packing style, bag preference, laundry access, and planned activities, and the app generates a full categorized packing list with clothing quantities, activity-specific gear, weather items, and commonly forgotten items. A structured packing-logic engine calculates quantities from trip length, activity frequency, outfit habits, and laundry access, while an AI layer refines and explains destination- and weather-specific recommendations. A guided prompt flow and forgotten-item engine sharpen the list, items can be checked off with progress tracking, and lists start in guest mode with optional accounts to save, reuse traveler profiles, export, and share.

What this demonstrates

It combines a deterministic quantity-calculation engine with an AI refinement layer that falls back to deterministic notes when no key is set, so the app is fully functional either way. It also implements guest and account modes with Supabase-backed persistence and sessions.

What makes it different

Not a basic checklist app — a smart travel prep assistant that builds a trip-specific list from where you're going and what you'll actually do.

  • Structured engine, AI refinementA logic engine generates reliable quantities; AI refines and explains.
  • Trip-specific, not genericAvoids one-size-fits-all lists by using activities, weather, and lifestyle.
  • Short questions, no long formRefines the list one quick prompt at a time.
  • Surfaces forgotten itemsFlags easy-to-miss essentials without cluttering the list.
  • Start without an accountGenerate a full list before being asked to sign up.
  • Nothing is forcedNot every recommendation is treated as mandatory.
