行程 (xíng chéng) means "itinerary" — and in this HSK 3 Mandarin dialogue, Sarah shows Liam how new AI tools build one automatically. Across 30 lines, they compare older planners that could only find places with agentic AI systems like Mindtrip and G8Trip that coordinate flights and schedules for friends in different countries.
Sarah and Liam explore how AI travel planners have evolved from simple place-finding tools to agentic systems that arrange flights and itineraries for groups spread across multiple countries. The conversation stays within HSK 3 grammar while introducing vocabulary you'll encounter in real Mandarin discussions about Technology.

The dialogue also introduces terms for artificial intelligence, travel planner, and agentic AI as Sarah explains what makes these new tools different.
