DocentPro vs HeyHaddock

DocentPro is a mobile travel planner that turns saved social posts into a real trip. Share an Instagram reel, TikTok, YouTube video, Facebook post, Google Maps list, screenshot, or pasted text, and SpotFetch pulls every named place onto a map. You describe what you want in plain language, get day-by-day routes on an interactive map, and book a hotel without leaving the app. It works for cities worldwide from a free DocentPro account.

Most trip planners ask where you are going first and make you type stops manually. DocentPro flips that: it starts with the travel videos and posts you already bookmarked, extracts the restaurants and sights inside them, then builds an itinerary you can reorder in seconds. That social-first workflow is the gap between saving inspiration and actually visiting those spots.

The app fits travelers who hoard travel content on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube but rarely revisit those saves. Solo travelers, short city breaks, and business travelers squeezing in a guided walk between meetings can use the chat assistant, curated collections, and on-foot audio tours. Trending place collections from DocentPro and other travelers add starting points when you are not working from your own saves.

HeyHaddock was an AI-first travel app built to make trip planning faster, more personal, and easier to share with friends. Users could shape itineraries around their own tastes, invite friends to collaborate, and get recommendations for local cafes, restaurants, and things to do in a new city.

The product leaned on an AI layer that generated events and travel insights based on your preferences. That meant suggestions beyond generic tourist lists, like a specific coffee shop or a lesser-known viewpoint that matched how you like to explore.

HeyHaddock shut down on September 1, 2025. The team reported more than 6,000 trips planned through the app before closing the service. The site now serves as a shutdown notice with contact details for former users.
