Navoy Launches V2: AI Travel Agent That Plans Trips by Intent, Not Search
Key Takeaways
- Navoy V2 starts trip planning with intent — users pick up to 3 of 12 focuses (Beach, Food, Adventure, Culture, Wellness and more) instead of browsing listings.
- A single setup flow captures destination, dates, group, budget, pace, and budget split, then generates a day-by-day itinerary with bookable hotels and airport transfers in minutes.
- Navoy V2 is live now on dashboard.navoy.io for Free and Pro ($12.99/mo) users in public beta.
San Francisco, CA — May 9, 2026 — Navoy, the AI-native online travel agency, launched Navoy V2, a redesigned AI trip planner that builds full itineraries from how a traveler wants to feel — not from a search bar.
What Is Navoy V2?
Navoy V2 is the second major version of Navoy's AI travel agent. It replaces the old "fill in a search box" pattern with a structured, intent-first flow that decides what kind of trip a user wants before it shows any options. Output is a complete trip — itinerary, hotels and transfers — generated in one session inside Navoy.
The launch is live for all users on navoy.io and inside the Navoy dashboard. It is included on both Free and Pro tiers in public beta.
How Does Navoy V2 Plan a Trip?
Navoy V2 walks travelers through four steps that mirror how people actually think about a trip — feel first, logistics second.
1. Start with the experience
Users select up to 3 priorities from 12 focus options:
| Trip focus | Trip focus | Trip focus |
|---|---|---|
| Beach & Relaxation | Cultural Exploration | Adventure & Outdoors |
| Family Fun | Romantic Getaway | Business & Networking |
| Nightlife & Social | Food & Culinary | Wellness & Retreat |
| Shopping & Lifestyle | Local & Authentic | Workshops & Learning |
This tells Navoy the intent behind the trip, not just the destination.
2. Add key trip context
Navoy captures only what matters:
- Destination and dates (fixed or flexible)
- Group size — adults (18+) and children (0–17)
- Budget (excluding flights)
- Additional preferences — diet, pace, interests
3. Define how you travel
V2 introduces deeper personalization controls:
- Travel pace — Relaxed, Balanced or Packed
- Budget split — Hotel First (70/30), Balanced (50/50), Experiences First (30/70) or No Accommodation (0/100)
- Context-aware inputs — walking preference, dietary needs, cultural interests
4. Generate the full trip
One click produces:
- A day-by-day itinerary
- Real-time hotel options and pricing via hotels.navoy.io
- Curated experiences aligned with the chosen focuses
- Airport transfers via transfers.navoy.io
- A trip that re-adapts when inputs change
Travelers who only want to book hotels (no trip itinerary, no dashboard trip flow) can use hotels.navoy.io the way they would a typical hotel booking site. When someone does generate a trip in Navoy, they can book hotels for that itinerary inside the same dashboard flow without getting redirected to hotels.navoy.io.
Why Does Navoy V2 Matter for Travelers?
Most trip planning today still happens across dozens of open browser tabs — flights, hotels, reviews, maps, blog posts, spreadsheets. The bottleneck is not search; it is decision fatigue.
Navoy V2 cuts that loop by treating trip planning as an AI decision engine, not an inventory comparison. It removes irrelevant options up front, optimizes around stated intent, pace and budget, and produces one trip the user can actually book — instead of 50 tabs the user has to reconcile.
Quote from Haroun Moula, CEO
"Travel planning is broken because it starts with logistics. Travelers don't open 40 tabs because they love research — they open them because no product asks the right question first. V2 starts with how you want to feel and builds the trip backwards from there. That is the version people stay on."
— Haroun Moula, Founder and CEO, Navoy

FAQ
What is Navoy V2?
Navoy V2 is the second major version of Navoy's AI travel agent. It replaces keyword search with an intent-first setup — users choose up to 3 of 12 trip focuses, set pace and budget split, and Navoy generates a full day-by-day itinerary with bookable hotels and airport transfers in one flow.
How is Navoy V2 different from a general AI assistant or a traditional booking site?
General-purpose AI tools can suggest an itinerary but cannot book it. Traditional booking sites can book components but cannot plan the trip. Navoy V2 combines both — AI guidance plus live hotel inventory and transfer networks — so a traveler goes from idea to a bookable trip without leaving the platform.
How long does it take to plan a trip with Navoy V2?
Most travelers complete the V2 setup flow and receive a full itinerary in a few minutes, depending on inputs. The flow is structured around four steps — focus, context, travel style, generate — instead of free-form search, which is what compresses the planning time.
Is Navoy V2 free to use?
Yes. Navoy V2 is included on the Free tier ($0) which allows up to 3 trips of up to 14 days each. The Pro tier is $12.99 per month for unlimited trips, up to 30 days per trip, and view-only trip sharing. Current pricing is on navoy.io/pricing.
Can Navoy V2 book flights?
Flights are selectable in the planning context so travelers can build accurate itineraries around them, but in-app flight booking through the main dashboard is not live yet. Hotels and airport transfers are bookable directly inside Navoy.
Where is Navoy V2 available?
Navoy V2 is global — available in English to travelers worldwide on dashboard.navoy.io. Strongest go-to-market emphasis: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, France; additional traction in Singapore, India, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia.
