All Timista asks you for is a location, time period and number of people.
It then uses a bundle of about 15 APIs to compile a long list of possible plans that fit your scenario. If you happen to be a couple in London this Friday, for instance, one of its suggestions is to stop by a film screening at Tate Modern followed by dinner at a nearby Italian restaurant. The booking pages for both are a click away, and Timista won't recommend anything that is sold out.
"You just say, 'This is when I’m available. This is where I’ll be. Tell me,'" says Timista co-creator PJ Mazoyer.
A fine-tune feature helps pinpoint the best plans in the initial list of options. You can name the type of activity or the type of food you're looking for or lock in a particular restaurant or activity that you like in order to see other options that compliment it.
Timista also includes a map, reviews and a description for each suggestion.
Mazoyer, who works at a consumer electronics company, and his co-creator Julien Romeo, who works in finance, developed Timista together during their spare time over about two years. For now, the site is only available for London, where they're both based.
The site is also still a little slow, which makes sense given the amount of data it's sifting through in order to provide recommendations.
"You have a show, a restaurant and a bar with roughly a thousand options for each," Romeo says. "We’re talking a billion possibilities."
