What is Kliv?
Kliv isn’t a generic tour booking product — it’s an AI app builder that builds software for you.
You describe the app you need in plain words, and Kliv builds it: the database, trip pages, capacity rules, itinerary logic, emails, payment flow, and admin tools. What you get is a real web app that’s yours, live on your own domain, and you can keep changing it by asking for changes.
On this page, that app is an AI-powered trip planning and booking platform. Kliv builds all kinds of web apps; travel booking platforms are one example.
Why build your own trip platform?
Small tour operators often sell judgment, not just dates. Tide windows, bothies, escape routes, weather calls, and local notes rarely fit standard booking software.
Kliv builds the platform around your knowledge. Route notes become the source for itinerary drafting, departures carry hard seat counts, and the pre-trip countdown can run on schedule.
What the operator knows
The platform turns route knowledge and admin rules into records.
Routes and field notes
Tidal windows, bothies, escape lines, and other route notes are uploaded and indexed. Itinerary drafting reads your notes, not a travel wiki.
Departures and seats
A departure holds its date, guide, and eight seats. The ninth booking is refused at checkout because capacity is a database fact.
Itineraries and approvals
The assistant drafts a five-day plan from the notes. You edit it, the client approves it, and the approved version becomes the plan of record.
Travelers and their details
Party members, dietary needs, and emergency contacts are attached to the booking. They are visible to that booking and to staff, not to other guests.
The pre-trip clock
Scheduled emails use your templates: packing list 14 days before, ferry times 3 days before, guide number the night before.
Payment and the weather clause
Trips are paid in full at booking on your own Stripe account. If weather cancels a crossing, you approve the refund yourself or offer a credit toward next season.
An example: Ailsa’s island walking tours
Here’s how one operator might use it. It’s only an example — you would describe your own routes, capacity, and booking rules.
An enquiry becomes a trip record
A client asks for dates, fitness level, and “St Kilda if the sea allows.” The enquiry becomes a record instead of another email thread.
The itinerary draft uses Ailsa’s notes
The assistant drafts a plan from her route notes, including the caveat that the sea often does not allow St Kilda. Ailsa swaps day three before sending it.
Capacity stops at eight seats
The client approves and pays. Two more travelers join later, and the public page shows three seats left without anyone editing it.
The countdown sends itself
Fourteen days before departure, the packing list email sends. Three days before, ferry times go out. Ailsa does not have to open her laptop.
A weather reroute updates everyone
A gale changes day four. Ailsa edits the plan of record once, and every traveler’s itinerary page and inbox carry the change.
The trip closes with a private gallery
After the walk, the departure’s photo gallery opens to that party alone, and the thank-you email includes a returning-walker code for next season.
Describe what you want to build
Kliv builds from your description, so the more detail you give, the closer the first version. Describe routes, capacity, itinerary approval, traveler details, email timing, prices, and refund rules. Here are three to build on:
Island walking tours
Eight seats, itinerary drafts, and automatic emails.
“Build an AI-powered trip planning and booking platform for guided island walks. Cap each departure at eight seats, draft five-day itineraries from my route notes for my approval, collect dietary needs and emergency contacts per booking, charge $1,250 per traveler in full, and send packing-list emails 14 days before departure.”
Wine-country cycling
Fitness-based routes and returning-guest discounts.
“Build a booking platform for small-group wine-country cycling tours. Offer beginner, intermediate, and advanced route options, collect rider height and dietary notes per booking, charge $850 per rider, and apply a returning-guest discount code for 15% off future departures.”
Alpine ski weeks
Weekly departures and guest equipment records.
“Build a chalet ski-week booking site with weekly departures capped at 12 guests, per-guest equipment and dietary records, a deposit of $500 due at booking, final balance due 30 days before arrival, and a countdown email sequence per departure.”
How it comes together
Drafting retrieves from your notes. The route notes are a knowledge base inside the app, and the itinerary assistant drafts from them. It can also answer pre-trip questions from the same source, with transcripts you can review.
Refunds are deliberate. Weather cancellations can mean money moves, but refunds wait for your explicit approval. Credits toward a future departure are available as an alternative, and every decision is logged on the booking.
Announced prices keep their schedule. Early-season pricing can end on May 1. Returning-walker codes apply within the limits you set.
A tour operator is a local business grown into a web app. The local-business page collects the neighbouring stories, from studios to hire shops.
Common questions
What exactly is Kliv?
Kliv is an AI app builder that creates custom web apps from a description. For trip planning and booking, it builds departures, capacity rules, itinerary drafting, traveler records, emails, payments, and admin screens.
Do I get a real app, or a template?
A real app. Kliv builds around your routes, notes, capacity, prices, traveler details, and refund rules.
Can I change it after it’s built?
Yes. You can add routes, change seat counts, revise email timing, add discounts, or change refund approval steps later.
What stops an overbooked departure?
Seat count is checked at checkout. When eight seats are sold, the ninth transaction fails immediately and politely.
What happens when weather cancels?
You reroute or refund on your terms. Refunds wait for your approval, credits are available, and every decision is logged on the booking.
Can guests on the same departure see each other’s details?
No. Emergency contacts and dietary notes are scoped to each booking. Shared surfaces show only what the whole party should see.
Do I need Stripe connected to start building?
No. You can run a test season first with test payments and an accelerated clock, then connect your Stripe account when you are ready.
Do travelers need Stripe accounts?
No. Travelers just pay by card. Payments run through your Stripe account.
Can I send scheduled pre-trip emails?
Yes. Packing lists, ferry times, guide numbers, balance reminders, and thank-you emails can all send from the trip schedule.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. The booking platform can run on your own domain and go live as soon as you build it.
Can I move off Kliv later?
Yes. The code syncs to your own Git repository, so leaving is a git pull, not a rebuild.
Do I need a separate booking admin?
No. Departures, travelers, itinerary approvals, emails, payments, and galleries can be managed in the same app.
