The rule that shapes everything

Every place in your plan came from somewhere. None of them came from a model.

Trypn writes itineraries the way a good guidebook is researched: intent first, then real sources, then verification, and only then personalisation. A language model shapes what to look for and how to rank it — it never decides that a restaurant exists.

The source-first pipeline

Seven stages, each with its own level of trust

Generation is not one prompt. Ranking may only choose among candidates that retrieval and verification produced — a validation gate in code, not an instruction in a prompt.

  1. 01IntentYouYour request, your Trip DNA and anything you confirmed in the Trip Inbox.
  2. 02Search intentAIThe model turns that into structured searches — concepts, areas, categories, time windows. No place names.
  3. 03RetrievalSourcesSource connectors return real candidate places with canonical IDs and raw payloads.
  4. 04VerificationTrypnCandidates are resolved, deduplicated, existence-checked and stamped with a retrieval time.
  5. 05RankingAIThe model scores only the verified set against your preferences. Anything outside it is rejected in code.
  6. 06OptimisationTrypnDeterministic scheduling: geography, travel time, opening hours, pacing, locks and must-dos.
  7. 07ExplanationTrypnEach placed activity keeps a short summary of why it is there and what evidence was used.

Where facts are allowed to come from

Not all sources carry the same weight

Tier 1

Official

Opening hours, ticketing, closures, events, transport, visas and safety. Operator, authority or government sources only, with a URL and a timestamp. Never guessed.

Tier 2

Structured providers

Existence, canonical ID, location, category and address. The single source of record for whether a place is real.

Tier 3

Community

Sentiment, popularity and thematic discovery. Can shape what surfaces and how it ranks — never what is true.

Community sentiment can decide what surfaces and how it ranks. It can never establish that a place exists, where it is, or when it opens.
