Baz is Wendways' AI travel assistant. Tell it where, when, and who's coming, and it builds the trip. It helps most with Want and Planning, and what it adds stays in the same lifetime record through Living and Remembered.
Baz is a bar-tailed godwit, the bird with the longest non-stop flight of any bird.
What Baz does
Plan a trip: just describe it
On the Trips page, write a few lines, like "5 days in Kansai in March, two of us, a day in Nara." Baz creates the trip: the dates, how many are traveling, where each day is based, any bookings you mention, and a few first picks you can keep or remove.
Ask Baz from anywhere
An Ask Baz button sits at the bottom of every page, with the shortcut ⌘J (Ctrl+J on Windows). Open it on a trip or on a single day, and it works on that trip or day.
Ask Baz⌘J
Find and add
Ask for dinner near tomorrow's museum, a quiet morning, or something for a free afternoon. Baz shows place cards, and you choose what goes on the trip. "More like this" asks for similar picks.
Checked on the map, with Undo
Every place is checked on the map before you see it, so Baz suggests places that exist. Anything Baz adds can be undone, and it asks before changing or removing a plan you made.
Current information, with sources
For things that change year to year (festivals and events on your dates, seasonal timing like blossoms or foliage, closures), Baz searches the web and lists the sources under its answer. If it couldn't check something, it says so rather than guessing.
On your Wishlist
Save with Baz turns a sentence into Wants on your Wishlist. Where should I go? suggests destinations that fit how you travel. Plan this with Baz turns a Want into a dated trip.
What Baz knows about you
Baz keeps a short taste profile: how you like to travel, written from your own trips. You can read, edit, or reset it in Settings, under Baz.
Plain-words search
Related, and free on every plan. On Trips and Register, type a question like "trips where I flew from PEK" and Wendways turns it into filters. It never counts toward your Baz allowance.
Fast or Thorough
Fast is usually all you need. It finds places, fills gaps, builds trips, and saves ideas. Thorough, on Silver, takes more care with long or multi-city trips and uses about 2 to 6 times as much of your allowance, so switch to it when Fast's answer misses the mark.
How much you get
Each plan has a monthly allowance. Silver gives you five times as much, plus Thorough.

The numbers are typical for Fast. A longer ask, or Thorough, uses more.
Your allowance refreshes each plan month, and unused use doesn't roll over. The app shows what you've used as a percentage, with the refresh date.
Upgrading starts a fresh allowance that day. When it runs out, Baz waits until it refreshes or you upgrade. Everything else in Wendways keeps working.
Plain-words search is always included and never counts.
Wendways never uses your content to train AI models, and never sells your data. Baz works differently from reading your bookings, so here is exactly what it sees.
Reading your bookings (captures) uses AI providers with zero data retention: they keep no copy of the request.
Baz and plain-words search use Anthropic's models through Wendways' own account, which is not zero data retention. Anthropic may keep requests for a limited time under its own terms, for example to check for abuse.
So Wendways sends Baz trip details only: never traveler names, email addresses, phone numbers, booking references, ticket or seat numbers, notes, attachments, forwarded emails, or payment details.
What you type to Baz is sent as written, so don't type booking codes, passport numbers, or payment details into it.
Web searches are built only from a place, dates, and a topic, never anything about the traveler.
Baz conversations stay with your account until you delete your account.
It plans and suggests. You book and pay with the airline, hotel, or operator. Wendways isn't a travel agent.
Check before you rely on it
Baz isn't perfect. Places, hours, closures, and dates it suggests can be wrong or out of date, so check anything important before you rely on it.
Not on phones yet
Baz is on the web on larger screens, like a laptop or tablet. It isn't in the phone layout or the iOS and Android apps yet.
