Statement on AI use

Vegius wants to work with and support human ethical travel agents, not replace them. Their experience, local knowledge and personal care matter. We see AI as a tool that can complement their expertise and make compassionate travel easier to plan.

AI has an environmental footprint. Running models uses electricity and cooling water, while training models and manufacturing hardware add wider costs. Individual text interactions can use comparatively little electricity: Google’s self-reported 2025 study estimated 0.24 watt-hours for a median Gemini text prompt, roughly the electricity used by a television in nine seconds.

That is an illustration of one provider’s operational energy use, not a measurement of a Vegius itinerary or AI’s full life-cycle impact. A complete plan can involve multiple AI requests, searches and other services. We have not measured Vegius’s full footprint, so we do not claim a precise food equivalent or guaranteed environmental savings.

Our aim is to use AI for good: helping more people discover and support vegan businesses and animal sanctuaries, and making vegan travel more accessible. These potential benefits do not erase AI’s costs or other valid concerns. Technology should support informed human judgement and more compassionate, environmentally conscious choices.

No. Vegius plans your trip and provides booking links to use wherever you choose. It does not take payment for travel or act as a booking agent.

A general AI may draft an itinerary and recommend a steakhouse on day four because it does not enforce your rules across the whole trip. Vegius keeps your constraints throughout, validates that recommended places are real and in the right city, and remembers your preferences for next time.

HappyCow is a directory you search; Vegius is an agent that plans. It uses vegan-identified sources and creates a day-by-day itinerary around how you travel. Help sanctuaries give rescued animals a safe, caring home. Paid plans, subscriptions, booking fees, ticket sales, and other revenue support this mission. After covering operating costs, 100% of any surplus goes to partner sanctuaries. Many vegans use both; we link out rather than compete.

The agent enforces your exclusions throughout the itinerary and corrects itself if something slips through. Place results are filtered against a vegan whitelist. An ingredient scanner is also built in for labels you cannot read.

We use sources that identify as vegan or vegan-friendly and clearly distinguish between them. Fully vegan venues are marked as such; vegan-friendly venues are labelled so you know to check the menu. We never guess: if we are unsure, we say so or leave the place out.

Yes. Choose your language in the header. The selection follows you across the website, including sanctuary descriptions and animal stories. Additional content is automatically translated, with an option to view the original. Names and text you enter remain unchanged.

It is a real concern. Data centres use electricity and cooling water. A Vegius plan uses a handful of short AI requests: small in absolute terms, but not zero. We cap free plans, avoid AI for tasks a simple search can do, and are moving to smaller, more efficient models as they become reliable. One animal-based meal has a water footprint measured in hundreds of litres; a full Vegius plan is measured in millilitres. If a plan helps one trip stay vegan, animals and water both come out ahead. We will publish a per-plan footprint estimate after a full quarter of usage data.
