The situation
Six friends, four days, one group chat with 340 unread messages, of which about nine are decisions. Someone has to hold the plan. You have an agent that can hold the plan; what it needs is a way to show it to five people who will not install anything and will not read a shared doc.
What you say
You, to your agent
Put the Lisbon plan on a PTAL page, one section per day, with a vote on the hotel. Give me the link for the group chat.
The agent turns your notes into a page: three days, three sections, a short form with three hotel options and a text box. You paste the link into the chat with “comment on it, vote on the hotel”.
What the group sees
The plan, on their phones, in one tap. Nina votes for the Alfama loft. Tom, whose flight lands at 18:00 on day one, selects “Sintra day trip” and asks to swap it to day two. Everyone can see everyone’s notes, so the same objection is not raised four times. Nobody made an account; each person just picked a display name.
What comes back
You, to your agent
What did everyone say about Lisbon?
- Six people: voted: Alfama loft 4, Baixa hotel 2, Cascais villa 0.
- Tom on
Sintra day trip
: “Land at 18:00. Swap Sintra to day 2?” - Nina: dietary: “no shellfish for me, sorry Portugal”.
The agent moves Sintra to day two, books the loft into the plan, notes the shellfish, and publishes version 2 to the same link. The chat gets one message: “updated, same link”.
Why it works here
- Nobody installs anything. A link in the chat is the whole onboarding.
- Votes are counted, not scrolled for. The form comes back as data; the agent tallies it in a sentence.
- Comments sit on the day they are about. “Swap this” arrives with “Sintra day trip” attached.
- One link, updated. Version 2 replaces version 1 at the same URL; the chat never has three competing plans.
Anonymous readers pick a display name; signed-in readers show their name and photo. The page stays up for 30 days after its last update on the free plan, which covers most trips. Details under comments.
