The problem AI Travel Planner solves

The AI Travel Planner helps you plan trips easily by creating personalized schedules, suggesting the best routes, and giving real-time updates. It saves time, keeps your data secure, and makes traveling safer and more convenient.

Challenges I ran into

Integrating Gemini AI API
Understanding how to effectively use the API for travel planning took time. I resolved this by thoroughly reading the documentation and experimenting with different endpoints.

Authentication with Clerk
Setting up secure and seamless user login was tricky. I fixed this by following Clerk’s step-by-step guides and testing various authentication flows.

Real-Time Data Handling in Firebase
Managing real-time updates for travel plans while keeping the backend efficient was a challenge. I optimized the database structure and used Firebase's powerful real-time features to overcome this.

Each challenge taught me valuable lessons and helped improve the overall functionality of the project.
