We are excited to share with you Ask AT.
We think it is a world first – an Australian-owned, human-powered AI travel tool that will plan your ultimate domestic Aussie holiday for you.
What exactly is Ask AT?
We’ve called it Ask AT because it draws exclusively on AustralianTraveller.com content – more than 150 detailed destination guides, curated trip itineraries, family-friendly tips, outback experiences and hundreds of road trip ideas – to give you personalised recommendations in seconds.
You can prompt Ask AT with any Aussie travel questions you have, and it will give you expert ideas and advice based on real travel insights from 20 years of specialist Australian travel writers.
To give you an idea, here are some questions asked by our users during testing:
“Tell me the best things to do on the Gold Coast for families – where to stay, what to do and nature-based activities"
“Hi, can you suggest some unique luxurious stay at Port Macquarie?"
“Can you design a week away in Margaret River with great food and wine?"
Why it’s different
We think there are four reasons Australians will fall in love with Ask AT.
1. Ask AT has the answer
Ask AT uses 20 years of expert travel writing to answer your question. In numbers, that is more than:
150+ thorough Aussie destination guides
100+ individually crafted family trips
160+ detailed outback itineraries and experiences
170+ thoroughly explored road trips
2. You can trust it
Because Ask AT draws exclusively from AustralianTraveller.com content written by real travel journalists, the answers are local, vetted and 100% focused on Aussie travel. We even include the reference articles for you to read in the answer.
3. It’s ethical
Unlike other LLMs (ChatGPT, etc.), which are trained using content from other websites without permission or reimbursement, we have spent millions of dollars paying Australian writers for our content, so we are not stealing from Australian writers.
4. It’s Australian
As an Australian company, we are invested in our community, pay taxes in Australia and employ Australians. Again, every other LLM is an international company not contributing to the Australian economy or community. The more success Ask AT has, the more Australian writers we will pay for content, the more Australians we will employ, the more taxes we will pay in Australia.
But most importantly, the more we spend on Ask AT, the better Ask AT will get at helping Aussies find their dream holidays.
That’s a win for all Australians and something we believe you can feel good about supporting.
