This AI can't be filled in from a link, so the button copies your prompt: paste it into the new chat.

The prompt that gets copied

I'm meeting [HOW MANY PEOPLE, e.g. 5] friends at [FINAL DESTINATION, e.g. the stadium] around [MEETING TIME, e.g. 6:30 pm]. Here's where everyone is starting from and how they're getting there: [STARTING POINTS, e.g. 3 from downtown by train, 2 by bus]. Find the best place for us to meet up first so we can travel the last stretch together. Keep it fair, so nobody goes far out of their way or has to double back. Give me your top pick and one backup, how long each person's trip takes, which line or route they should take, and an easy landmark to wait at. Flag anything that could make us late, like delays on a line we'd use.

Tell Ask Maps in Google Maps where each friend is starting from and how they're traveling. You get one meeting spot that's fair for the group, plus each person's route.
