Collections are useful before you know the exact itinerary. When the places start to feel like a real route, turn one or more collections into a trip draft and review the result before sharing it.
Start from Explore
- Open Explore places.
- Choose a collection from the saved places panel.
- Select Create trip.
- Keep Creation mode set to AI organized. Quick copy adds the saved places to a new trip without AI planning.
- Choose the collections to use as source material.
- Enter the trip name.
- Enter the number of Days for the trip, from 1 to 60.
- Optionally choose a start date.
- Select Start AI plan.
Platix plans exactly the number of days you enter. You can still add or remove days after the trip is created.
Platix creates a private planning draft first. Review the days, stops, map, pacing, dates, and notes before making it public or sending it to anyone else.
Choose how selected places are used
When selected-place planning is available, Use only selected places treats every saved place as an explicit input. Platix groups the places by geography, distributes them across practical days, and does not replace them with newly discovered attractions. If the requested trip is too short, the draft identifies the selected places that still need attention instead of silently removing them.
When available, Add helpful places nearby keeps the selected places as the priority and uses remaining schedule capacity for a bounded number of useful nearby additions. Added places are suggestions and never replace a selected place.
Restaurants, lodging, stations, and attractions keep their planning roles. A selected hotel is not turned into a sightseeing stop, and a selected station remains route context.
Use more than one collection
A multi-city trip can start from several collections. For example, a Japan trip might use separate Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka collections.
Select up to three collections in the dialog, then drag them into the order you want to travel. Platix keeps that order as the trip route and chooses practical overnight bases and travel details along it.
What collections can be used
You can make a trip from collections you can open: your own collections, public collections, unlisted collections available by link, and private collections shared with you as a viewer or editor.
AI planning uses up to 40 saved places across the selected collections.
Collections you cannot access do not appear in the picker and cannot be used through the API. If a collection is removed, made private, or no longer shared with you, it stops being available as source material.
Review the draft
After the draft is created, check the trip like any other itinerary:
- Confirm the trip title, dates, and visibility.
- Check whether each day has a realistic route.
- Remove places that do not fit the traveler or trip length.
- Add missing hotels, meals, transport, bookings, and notes.
- Use the map to catch unnecessary backtracking.
- Check the selected-place summary for the number scheduled and still needing attention.
