Inspiration

Our team has always been fascinated by the potential of AI to enhance learning and simplify everyday tasks. We envision a future where AI seamlessly supports us in understanding complex information and planning even complicated endeavors like travel. This project represents an exciting step towards realizing that vision.

What it does

Our project merges two core functionalities:

  • AI Teacher: This component empowers users to create searchable knowledge bases from textual information. You can upload .txt files or record your own text, and the AI-Teacher generates embeddings to enable understanding and efficient retrieval of the knowledge within.

  • Natural Language Flight Finder: This element offers a conversational approach to travel planning. Instead of wrestling with traditional booking platforms, users can find flights through simple language interaction (e.g., "Show me round-trip flights from Chicago to London for November.").

How we built it

  • Gemini API: Google's powerful LLM forms the backbone of our project, driving text understanding, embedding creation, and knowledge query responses.
  • ChromaDB: Provides a robust database solution optimized for storing and managing the embeddings generated for the AI Teacher.
  • OpenAI API: Underpins our flight finder, enabling it to interpret natural language requests and pinpoint relevant flight options.
  • Web Interface: Provides an intuitive interface for users to interact with both project components. We integrated frontend and backend systems with technologies like Flask for dynamic communication.

Challenges we ran into

  • Seamless integration: Ensuring smooth communication and efficient interplay between the AI Teacher and Flight Finder, driven by diverse AI APIs, posed a significant challenge.
  • Scalability: Designing a system that can gracefully handle growing knowledge bases and increasing search complexity with the AI Teacher.
  • Refining Natural Language Understanding: Fine-tuning the Flight Finder's interpretation of conversational travel requests required significant iteration and testing.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • User-Centric Knowledge Management: Enabling users to build and personalize their own knowledge repositories with the AI Teacher.
  • Intuitive Travel Planning: Simplifying the often-frustrating process of flight booking through conversational search.
  • Successful AI Integration: Demonstrating the potential for combining multiple cutting-edge AI technologies to provide tangible benefits.

What we learned

  • The Power of Embeddings: The use of embeddings to represent text semantically offers great potential for personalized knowledge representation.
  • The Importance of Nuanced AI Interaction: Designing user-friendly and effective interactions with AI models is crucial for practical applications.
  • Real-World AI Challenges: Integrating and scaling a project of this kind goes far beyond simple prototypes, highlighting practical issues of engineering and deployment.

What's next for AI Agents

We're keen to explore:

  • Multimodal Input: Extending the AI Teacher to ingest images, diagrams, and other non-textual knowledge sources.
  • Integrating Flight Reservations: Adding flight booking capabilities directly within the Flight Finder to create a comprehensive travel solution.
  • Enhanced Personalization: Leveraging additional user data to provide even more tailored learning experiences and travel recommendations.
