Tips for better results with Ask AI

📍

Be specific about where. 
“From Montréal” or “near Barrie” helps all three modes find better results.

⏱️

Set a driving limit. 
“3 hours max” or “day trip” — especially useful in Ask AI mode.

🎯

Mention your interests. 
Waterfalls, wineries, museums, kid-friendly — Ask AI gets better the more you tell it.
