Project Description
π§ Project Title: TripGenie β AI Travel Matchmaker
π Project Description:
TripGenie is an AI-powered travel recommendation app built using Microsoft Power Apps and OpenAI GPT-4o. Designed during the AI Tinkerers Dubai Hackathon, the solution helps travelers discover the best city to visit based on their unique preferences β including climate, activities, budget, and personal travel goals.
The user interacts with a clean and intuitive interface built in Power Apps, answering a few simple questions. A dynamic prompt is then generated and passed to Power Automate, which formats it into a JSON request and sends it to OpenAIβs GPT-4o model.
In the background, we implemented a lightweight RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) architecture using a curated dataset of global travel destinations stored with vector embeddings in Couchbase Capella. The AI cross-references user preferences with real destination attributes to deliver smart, personalized suggestions β all in seconds.
TripGenie showcases how low-code platforms combined with cutting-edge AI can solve real-world problems quickly, scalably, and beautifully.
π‘ Key Features:
Power Apps-based travel input form (climate, activities, budget, extra notes)
Dynamic prompt engineering from structured user input
