Telling an AI what you don't want—no all-night clubs, no crowded tourist traps, no extreme adventure activities—so it learns to filter suggestions toward what actually appeals to you. This is often more efficient than describing what you do want, especially when your preferences are defined by what to avoid.
Negative prompting is the practice of explicitly telling an AI what to leave out of a travel recommendation, such as tourist traps, chain restaurants, overnight buses, or destinations that require specific visas, in order to filter results before they are generated.
This technique saves significant back-and-forth time by front-loading exclusion criteria into the initial prompt, resulting in AI outputs that are far more aligned with a traveler's actual preferences and constraints from the first response.
Peri can explain this concept, give practical examples, help you decide whether it applies to your situation, or recommend a journey if appropriate.
