What it is
Hoku is an AI-powered group travel planner for creating itineraries from a destination, group size, and traveler preferences. Trip members can add activities, destinations, and tasks to a shared plan while editing in real time. Group messaging includes reactions, GIFs, and comment replies, and expense tracking keeps trip spending with the itinerary. The Viator integration lets users browse and book tours, excursions, and activities. Google Photos support collects and shares group trip photos. Hoku also offers reservation import and offline access, but no calendar sync. It runs on the web, Android, and iOS, with a Free to start plan at free. Location sharing starts off for each trip, and precise location requires device permission. Users may connect Claude, ChatGPT, or Meta Muse with read access and optional write access; connected assistants cannot delete trips, remove members, alter others’ RSVPs, send messages, or access email, contacts, location, or payment details. Hoku says its safeguards cannot guarantee completely secure transmission or storage.
