Travelity is a web-based application designed to provide personalized travel itineraries by integrating user interests, personality, and travel pace with real-time data. By utilizing APIs and AI-driven agents, Travelity tailors unique travel experiences that adapt to each user’s preferences, making each journey both enjoyable and personalized.

This project was developed during a 24-hour non-stop Meichu Hackathon (group Google), where we were selected as one of the top teams. We proudly secured second place, winning a prize of NT$16,000.

1. Personalized Recommendations

   • Uses user-defined interests, personality, and travel pace
   • Real-time data integration from Google Maps and Google Search API for personalized place suggestions
   • AI-powered agent cross-references user preferences with location data for optimal scoring and sorting

2. Automatic Itinerary Generation

   • Automatically generates a daily itinerary based on user interests and personality
   • Real-time adaptability to adjust recommendations based on changing conditions like weather or crowd levels

3. User Story Example

   • Provides personalized itineraries for specific travel preferences; e.g., a photography and coffee lover exploring Taipei receives quiet coffee shop recommendations and scenic, less-crowded spots

4. Future Development

   • Expand interest tags and user profiles with account sync
   • Group travel feature to create shared itineraries based on group interest overlap
   • Integration with weather, business hours, and transportation APIs (e.g., parking, bus, metro) for a more practical, adaptive experience

• Frontend: Flutter (iOS, Android, Web support)
• Backend: Python
• APIs: Google Maps API, Google Search API, Gemini API
• AI Integration: Custom recommendation engine and user preference agent

Travelity is currently in development and not available for public use. Here are some current challenges:

1. API Costs: Using multiple APIs incurs ongoing costs. We are working to optimize usage for sustainability.
2. Backend Hosting: Finalizing reliable server solutions for scaling.

We’re excited to bring Travelity to travelers soon! Stay tuned for updates.
