Mindtrip, an AI-powered platform that empowers everyone to travel differently, today announced a B2B partnership with New Orleans & Company to transform the DMO’s inspiring content into personalized and actionable trip plans for visitors. From the lively sounds of jazz in the French Quarter to absorbing stunning Creole architecture, mouthwatering cuisine, and captivating celebrations, Mindtrip for Business will integrate into neworleans.com, generating custom, end-to-end itineraries — connecting visitors to local businesses and making exploration across the city both exciting and instantly tangible based on personalized traveler interests.
“There is nothing like the energy of New Orleans,” said Andy Moss, Co-founder and CEO of Mindtrip. “It’s a city that pulses with music, creativity and culture, where every street corner tells a story and every neighborhood offers something new to explore. By integrating our AI platform into neworleans.com, we’re helping travelers tap into that spirit with personalized, bookable plans that will bring the city to life at any time of day or night.”
When a visitor begins to plan a trip on neworleans.com, they can explore the city using Mindtrip’s conversational AI to ask questions, get recommendations and turn their interests into personalized trip plans. Mindtrip can generate a custom itinerary replete with vibrant photos and interactive maps for each point of interest. These itineraries can be highly specific—for example, someone might want to find a lively bar, taste test every savory beignet, dance in a second line parade, or discover the best neighborhoods to stroll under the oak trees. Mindtrip can also surface activities tailored to families with young children, highlighting unique activities happening in the area that are a perfect fit for their needs.
Each itinerary also includes distance estimates and thoughtfully sequenced stops to help travelers avoid unnecessary zig-zagging and maximize their time exploring the city that doesn’t sleep.
By indexing, prioritizing, and combining New Orleans & Company content and business listings with a robust proprietary knowledge base, Mindtrip can provide visitors with updates on temporary closures and guidance on how to avoid areas under construction.
