AI Assistant & Translation

AI Travel Assistant​

Ask the AI Assistant in the sidebar travel questions about itineraries, transport, accommodation, sights, and more. It searches 櫻佑旅遊's articles and forum as you, cites its sources in the answer, and tells you clearly when it can't find anything.

Sign in first (click Login at the bottom of the sidebar, or go to Settings → Account).

Asking a Question​

  1. Type in "Ask a travel question — answers can cite articles and the forum…" at the bottom, then press Return or click "Submit" (⌥Return adds a new line). You can also start with one of the example questions on screen.
  2. The answer appears word by word; "Searching the site…" is shown while it looks through the site. To stop partway, click "Stop" or press Esc.
  3. Article and forum sources appear below the answer. Click one to open it in the app (links the app can't open are opened in your browser).
  4. You can "Copy" an answer. If an answer is cut off, it's marked "Answer incomplete"; please ask again.

Conversation History​

  • The "Conversation" list on the left keeps your conversations so you can pick one up later.
  • Click "New Conversation" (⌘N) to ask something new.
  • Control-click a conversation and choose "Delete conversation…", or select it and press Delete. The history is deleted from the server and can't be recovered.

Daily Usage Limit​

The AI Assistant has a daily usage limit; Yucts Plus members get 10 times as much. When you've used it up, the app says so and shows when the limit resets. If the service is temporarily unavailable, you'll see "AI service is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

Always in the cloud

The AI in the macOS version always runs over the internet; there's no on-device (offline) mode. Your questions are sent to the YUCTS server, which passes them to an AI service provider to generate the answer. See Privacy & Permissions and the Privacy Policy.

Translation (Translation Card)​

Translation in the macOS version is the "Translation card" in the Travel Hub:

  • 5 languages: Japanese, Korean, English, Thai, Vietnamese.
  • 4 situations: greeting, dining, transport, emergency.
  • Romanization where available, and "Read aloud" with the system voice.
What translation covers

The macOS version doesn't have camera translation, article translation, translation of text you type, or the natural spoken version; translation is limited to the built-in cards above. See Travel Tools.
