Alibaba's high德 launches ai-based travel advisory tool

High德 has launched an AI-powered travel advisory tool called 'Avoiding Risks Guide 1.0,' responding to rumors about a 'Landmine List' feature. The tool uses AI and big data to predict travel risks based on 15 factors, including business hours, traffic congestion, and parking availability. According to a report by Phoenix News, High德 had planned to release the 'Landmine' product on September 10, 2026, as revealed by a source. Social media users shared screenshots of the new feature, suggesting it would rate businesses in categories like dining, tourism, and parking. However, IT之家 found that the current 'Avoiding Risks Guide' is an AI chat feature within the app, allowing users to ask about potential travel issues. The tool does not present a ranking system but offers personalized risk assessments. The feature aims to help users avoid common travel pitfalls such as wasted trips and delays. While the 'Landmine List' concept was previously discussed, the current version focuses on interactive AI guidance rather than a static ranking system. High德's move reflects its ongoing efforts to enhance user experience through AI integration in navigation and travel planning.
