Tourific AI plans trips from a video library no one else has.
Creators film the places they visit and upload them to Tourific. Every video is tied to the place it shows, reviewed by our team and turned into data that three AI agents plan with. As of October 2026: thousands of videos from 1,410 cities in 107 countries and territories, filmed by 99 creators.
The moat
Five layers a competitor would have to rebuild
A chatbot can write an itinerary. It cannot show you the place, because it does not have the footage. Tourific does, and each layer below makes the next one stronger.
A first-party library of filmed places
Creators upload straight to Tourific: nothing scraped, nothing embedded, no stock or AI-generated video. Each video is tied to the place its creator tagged and the city it sits in, and the Tourific team reviews it before it goes live.
Every video becomes data
What creators say on camera, the places they stand in, the prices and tips they mention: all of it becomes structured facts that the planner, the agents and the guides read. That is how an answer can say what a stop costs and which creator said so.
A creator engine that fills the map on demand
Creators earn $2 to $6 per 1,000 qualified views with no follower minimum, and the Content Bounty commissions footage where travelers are heading next. Content spend tracks audience, and new supply goes where the demand already is.
AI agents grounded in that footage
Ask Tourific, the co-pilot inside every trip and the road trip agent plan, edit and price trips from the library and live place data, and show the video behind each stop. General assistants answer in text from the open web; Tourific answers with the place itself.
Distribution that compounds
Every guide on BestRoadTrip.com is also in the app, one tap from becoming a trip, and the research series turns the library into data that writers and AI answer engines cite. Each new video makes the guides, the research and the app better at once.

Questions
What investors and partners ask first
- What is Tourific AI?
- A travel app for iPhone and Android that plans trips around short videos filmed by creators who went there. Its AI agents plan, edit and price trips from that library and live place data, and BestRoadTrip.com is its public guide and research site.
- Why can't a general AI assistant do the same?
- It has no footage. A general assistant describes a place from the open web; Tourific shows the place as a creator filmed it, tied to the exact spot, with what they paid and what they said about it, and builds the trip from there.
- How big is the library?
- Thousands of creator videos from 1,410 cities in 107 countries and territories, filmed by 99 creators, read from the live index in October 2026. More than 85% of them carry a full spoken transcript.
- How does Tourific AI make money?
- Tourific Pro at $6.99 a month or $49.99 a year, bought inside the Tourific app for iPhone and Android, and commissions on hotels (through Stay22) and tours (through Viator) booked from a trip. Creators are paid per qualified view, so content spend grows with audience.
- How do I reach the founder?
- Email Piyush Bhattad at piyush.bhattad@tourific.ai. Investor and partnership notes reach the founder directly.
