Pick the family trip on the TV, not in a group chat
My Next Adventure is a trip planner you can start using for free. Put every place you're considering on one map on your TV, with your phone as the remote. There is nothing to install on the TV.
No card needed. Show on TV is in the free plan.
The TV and phone screens are recorded from the app with a sample trip; the family, the chat and the marks on top are added. The example is a ski week, and it works the same way for any trip. Photos: Unsplash photographers. Ski clip and music: Mixkit.
1. Plan with Claude or ChatGPT
Tell Claude or ChatGPT who is going, when, and what you can spend. Let it do the searching, then have it save every place it finds into My Next Adventure instead of leaving them in the chat.
Each option keeps its price, dates, link, and the things that matter for your trip: how far the lift is, whether there is a kitchen, how many bedrooms. Nothing gets lost when the chat scrolls on.
- Claude: open Settings, then Connectors, add a custom connector with the address https://mcp.mynextadventure.cloud/mcp, press Connect and log in. There is no key to copy. Your Claude plan needs to allow custom connectors.
- ChatGPT: on the web, open Plugins, add a custom MCP server with the same address, choose OAuth and log in. There is no key to copy here either.
- No AI assistant? Paste a link or a screenshot of a place and My Next Adventure fills in the details for you.
2. Review and decide on the big screen, together
Open the trip, press Show on TV, and your phone becomes the remote. Everyone on the sofa sees the same map, with every place you are considering on it.
- For ski trips, the real pistes and lifts are drawn on the map, and the walk from each place to its lift is shown as a route with the minutes.
- Star the ones somebody likes. Cross off the ones nobody wants, and bring them back if you change your mind.
- Compare the starred ones side by side: photos, price, the walk to the lift, beds.
3. Enjoy :)
Mark the winner as booked and it moves to the top of the list. The plan is on your phone during the trip, and a read-only link lets the grandparents see where you are going.
What you need
- A TV with a Chromecast or Google TV, or any TV with a web browser. There is nothing to install on it.
- A phone or laptop to use as the remote.
- A free account. The free plan includes Show on TV and up to 3 variants of a trip. A variant is one complete version of the plan.
The map on a Chromecast is not as smooth as on a laptop. If your TV struggles, there is a switch to lower the resolution.
