Discover Your Personalized Travel Expedition with Wndrtrip

Experiment

We tested the hypothesis that travel influencers would engage more deeply with Wndrtrip if given a personalized AI-powered campaign preview. We also tested whether a simple interactive experience could increase conversion and intent to join the Wndrtrip influencer program.

Key Takeaways

• • Personalized AI experiences significantly enhance engagement among travel influencers, suggesting that tailored content can lead to deeper connections and higher conversion rates for influencer programs.
• • The integration of a catchy jingle on the landing page not only adds a lively element to the user experience but can also serve as a memorable branding tool aimed at younger audiences.
• • Using v0.dev for rapid UI and backend development demonstrates the value of low-code/AI platforms in accelerating product iteration, particularly for startups needing to validate ideas swiftly.
• • Collecting user data via the signup form facilitates a deeper understanding of audience preferences, allowing for future campaigns to be better aligned with traveler interests, optimizing the influencer program.
• • The initial challenges with generic AI responses highlight the importance of continually refining prompts to ensure high-quality content, while the limitations in styling suggest a need for careful design planning to enhance user interface appeal.

App Builders Used

We used v0.dev as our AI app builder for its ability to quickly generate UI with AI features, and we connected it to Hubspot and Supabase. Hubspot is used to manage lead generations, while Supabase will give us insights on travelers’ preferences.

Prompting Strategies

We used ChatGpt to create structured prompting to define both the UI and functionality. Example prompt: “Create an onboarding form for travel influencers that asks about their content style, destination, and brand preferences.” We refined the prompt a few times to get the tone right and make sure the outputs felt aligned with the Wndrtrip brand. We also had to split the prompt into simpler parts so GPT could incrementally build exactly what we want.

Project Outcomes

What Worked Well

v0.dev allowed us to build and iterate quickly with UI and AI model integration. The AI-generated outputs felt on-brand and engaging. Connecting to Supabase for data capture was simple and effective for our MVP.

What Didn't Work Well

Some GPT responses were too generic until we fine-tuned the prompts. Styling in v0.dev was somewhat limited without manual adjustments.

Surprising Findings

We were surprised by how effectively v0.dev could generate both frontend UI and backend functionality with minimal effort. It built connection right away with the ChatGpt LLM model and with Supabase. Its a very powerful tool.

Moving Forward

It let us move beyond static landing pages and actually test engagement with our core product idea of AI-powered influencer campaign matching. It also gave us real user data to analyze preferences and interest levels, all within a few minutes.

Website Enhancements

We added a jingle to the landing page website to make it more appealing to the user, it starts when users click anywhere of the page. Here is the prompt created by chatgpt for Sonu: Create a catchy, upbeat travel jingle for a bold, adventurous travel startup called Wndrtrip. The vibe should be energetic and inspiring, blending indie pop with tropical house elements. The lyrics should emphasize freedom, exploration, connection, and curated group adventures. Include lines like "Explore more, stress less" and "Travel with your tribe." The tone should feel fresh, modern, and youthful—something Millennials and Gen Z would vibe with. Think of it as the travel anthem for digital nomads and explorers. We also added an additional page that is accessible from the CTA “Join Us” that leads to a form for signups. The form collects user data to assess interest both from content creators and travelers.

Hypothesis Testing and AI Possibilities

We split the two enhancements: to explore the “Art of possible” and to validate our product concept by collecting interest. The AI-generated jingle shows how generative AI can quickly create high-quality media assets that may be linked to brand recall. The segmented signup form helps us validate interest from both influencers and travelers, informing our target audience strategy. These upgrades demonstrate how AI can accelerate brand-building and product validation with minimal resources.

Project Outcomes

What Worked Well

It was easy to upload the website on ChatGpt and fairly straightforward to publish it via Github.

What Didn't Work Well

We felt completely lost when the system failed, relying 100% on the AI tools to figure out the reason for the failure. We were able to fix it quickly by troubleshooting with ChatGpt. However, it made us wonder whether we could have been able to do so for a more complex website.

Surprising Findings

We were surprised by how easy it was to generate the Jingle with Sonu. It immediately gave catchy songs. We decided to go with an instrumental one, but the one with the lyrics was incredibly spot on, and with a description of only 200 characters managed to provide a song that somehow captured the spirit of Wndrtrip: [Verse] Pack your dreams leave the map behind Follow the sun let the stars align Feet on the ground heart in the skies Wndrtrip starts where the limits die [Chorus] Wndrtrip take the leap take the flight Chasing the day bursting through the night Every heartbeat's a step to the unknown Wndrtrip is the road you call your own [Verse 2] Ocean waves call the restless soul Jungles whisper where the wild ones go From city lights to the mountain air Wndrtrip shows you life without a care [Chorus] Wndrtrip take the leap take the flight Chasing the day bursting through the night Every heartbeat's a step to the unknown Wndrtrip is the road you call your own [Bridge] No shadows here in the open wide Turn the key let the journey decide We don’t need plans just the dream alive Wndrtrip’s a feeling you can’t deny [Chorus] Wndrtrip take the leap take the flight Chasing the day bursting through the night Every heartbeat's a step to the unknown Wndrtrip is the road you call your own
