We're making group trips
actually happen
Too many group trips start in a chat and never become a clear plan. Not because people don't want to go — because planning together is broken.
Planning a trip used to mean…
The same trip becomes a shared plan
Every group trip discussed should actually happen
We're creating a new category — Autonomous Travel Planning. The same way Uber eliminated the friction of getting a cab, PayaGo eliminates the friction of planning a trip together.
You shouldn't need to be a travel agent to take a group trip. One sentence. A structured plan. Clear next steps.

What we believe
The principles that drive every product decision
Minutes, Not Weeks
If AI cannot get a group from idea to useful draft plan quickly, the product has missed the point. Every engineering decision flows from that principle.
Groups First
Solo travel is easy. Group travel is chaos. We obsess over the messy reality of coordinating real people with real schedules and real opinions.
AI Does the Work
You shouldn't have to scroll through endless hotel tabs. The AI should understand the brief and present three strong options your group can actually discuss.
Trips Reach A Clear Next Step
Our north star isn't sign-ups or revenue — it's helping groups move from 'we should go' to a clear, shared next step.
Our journey
From a frustrating Lisbon trip to launching an AI
The Trip That Started It All
Our founders tried to plan a group trip to Lisbon. Multiple chats, scattered links, spreadsheets, and weeks of back-and-forth turned a simple idea into admin. They spent more time planning than they should have.
The Research
We spoke to travellers about group travel. The frustration was universal and visceral: people want to go, but planning together is so painful that plans often fade out.
Building the AI
We started building around the core workflow: voice or text trip input, AI-generated itinerary drafts, group collaboration, cost coordination, and provider-led booking handoff where supported.
Launching early access phase
PayaGo is moving through early access with web and mobile experiences. The goal is simple: help more group trips move from chat to a clear plan.
