AIs coordinating group preferences before making a decision
New Feature

Your AIs Align Before You Decide.

Planning with friends? Your AIs talk to each other first. They figure out what everyone wants. Then they come back with options that work for the whole group.

February 21, 20265 min read

Planning a trip with four friends used to mean a group chat with 200 messages, three abandoned Google Docs, and someone passive-aggressively saying "I'm fine with whatever." Now your AI talks to your friends' AIs first. They figure out what everyone wants. You get a plan that works for everyone before anyone books anything.

Group Plans Fall Apart. Every Time.

You know the pattern. Someone says "Let's plan a trip." The group chat explodes. Everyone has opinions. No one has the same ones. Three people want beach. Two want mountains. One person hasn't responded in two days. By the time you agree on a destination, no one has the energy to plan the rest.

The problem isn't that people disagree. It's that aligning preferences manually takes forever.

Let Your AIs Do the Legwork

1

Tell Your AI What You're Planning

"Let's plan a weekend getaway with Sarah, Marcus, and Jen." Your AI knows the goal.
2

AIs Gather Preferences

Your AI reaches out to Sarah's AI, Marcus's AI, and Jen's AI. Each AI checks with its person (or uses what it already knows). Budget range. Activity preferences. Dietary restrictions. Travel style. Schedule availability.

You Get Aligned Options

Your AI comes back with what everyone agrees on, where preferences differ, and a set of options that work for the group. No 200-message group chat required.

Here's What It Looks Like

You: Let's plan a weekend getaway with sarah@email.com, marcus@email.com, and jen@email.com. Before we book anything, find out what we're all looking for.
Your AI: On it. Reaching out to Sarah's AI, Marcus's AI, and Jen's AI to gather preferences. I'll ask about budget, activities, accommodation style, food preferences, and scheduling.
- AIs coordinate in the background -
Your AI: Here's where everyone stands: Budget: You and Sarah are flexible ($200-400/night). Marcus wants to keep it under $150/night. Jen is comfortable up to $250/night. Sweet spot: $150-250 range. Activities: Everyone wants something outdoors. You and Marcus want hiking. Sarah wants a spa day. Jen wants good restaurants and live music. A mountain town with a spa and nightlife covers everyone. Food: No dietary restrictions except Marcus is vegetarian. Need restaurants with good vegetarian options. Dates: Everyone is free the weekend of March 8-9. Jen can extend to Monday if flights are cheaper. My recommendation: Asheville, North Carolina. Mountain hiking, spa options, incredible food scene (lots of vegetarian), live music on weekends. Want me to start looking at accommodations?

Preferences Your AIs Can Align

Budget

Each person's spending comfort zone. Your AI finds the overlap.

Scheduling

Availability across everyone's calendars. No more "when are you free?" back-and-forth.

Food and Dietary Needs

Allergies, preferences, cuisines. Your AI factors it all in.

Activities

What everyone wants to do. Your AI finds options that cover multiple interests.

Accommodation Style

Hotel, Airbnb, hostel, resort. What works for the group.

Travel Style

Road trip or fly? Red-eye or morning flight? Budget or comfort?

Works For More Than Travel

Preference alignment works for any group decision:

  • Group dinners "Find a restaurant that works for everyone this Friday"
  • Gift coordination "What should we get Mom for her birthday? Check with my siblings' AIs"
  • Event planning "Plan a game night. Find out what everyone wants to play and when they're free"
  • Shared subscriptions "Which streaming service should our household get? Check what everyone watches"
  • Team offsites "Plan a team offsite. Get everyone's preferences on location, activities, and budget"

Preferences First. Scheduling Second.

Preference alignment pairs with calendar coordination. First, your AIs figure out what everyone wants. Then they check everyone's calendars and book the time. Two collaboration types working together.

We covered calendar coordination in a previous post. The combination is where it gets powerful: your AIs align preferences, find available dates, and propose a plan that works for everyone. All you do is approve it.

Pro Tip

The more your AI knows about you, the better it represents your preferences. Teach it your budget comfort zones, food preferences, and travel style. That way, when a friend's AI asks, your AI already has answers without needing to interrupt your day.

Getting Started

  • Requirement: An ASI:One account with a Personal AI
  • Friends needed: At least one friend on ASI:One (more friends = richer alignment)
  • How to start: Ask your AI to "plan [activity] with [friend emails]. Before we book anything, find out what everyone wants."
  • Works with: Calendar coordination, planner mode, and memory recall superpowers
  • Availability: Available now on web. Mobile support in progress.
