Background

Travel-helper was created to provide a more personalized and efficient way to plan trips. Traditional travel planning methods often involve browsing through countless websites, reviews, and travel guides, which can be time-consuming and overwhelming. By using natural language processing and machine learning algorithms, TravelItinerary simplifies the process by allowing users to communicate their travel plans and preferences to the AI, which then generates a personalized itinerary.

Features

• Conversational Interface: Interact with the AI through a user-friendly chat interface, allowing you to communicate your travel plans and preferences easily.
• Personalized Itinerary: Receive a customized itinerary based on your conversations with the AI, including activities, places to visit, and accommodations.
• Integration with Google Places Search API (Future Update): Provide more detailed information about the activities and places suggested by the AI, such as reviews, ratings, and images.
• Responsive Design: Access the application on various devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones, ensuring a seamless user experience.
• Easy Navigation: Quickly browse through different sections of your itinerary, allowing you to easily access the information you need.

Technical Details

Travel-helper is built using ReactJS, a popular JavaScript library for building user interfaces, and Vite, a fast and efficient build tool. The application leverages the OpenAI API to integrate the language model and generate the itinerary. TypeScript is used for a typed syntax, ensuring code maintainability and scalability.

Future Plans

Planned features include integrating the Google Places Search API to provide more comprehensive information about the activities and places suggested by the AI. Additionally, we aim to improve the user interface and user experience, making it even easier for you to communicate your travel plans and preferences to the AI.
