Your friendly neighbourhood bot to explore the world with you

The problem You the Explorer solves

Travelling to another place, country, town is a unique experience. On one hand is the joy of seeing another place and culture for the first time and on another is the very real fear of first contact experiences. The gaps in language, fear of offending another culture, handling another currency, FOMO about missing specialities there and a general a lack of how to move about in another place can take away the joy of travel.


But it doesn't have to be so. Help's here!
Presenting to you,

YOU THE EXPLORER

A chatbot application, built around the central idea that travel should be full of fun and not full of stress.

The chatbot is capable of

  • Translating input languages to a provided output langauge
  • Suggesting relatively unknown points to visit
  • Prepare an itenary for your travel
  • Built in currency converter
  • Helpfully Points out interesting places to you
  • Give a simplified map of your route to your destination

Challenges we ran into

Integrating chatbot into our application was the single biggest challenge we faced. Our experience at building chatbots was too simplistic for the scale of our application and so remained a roadblock till the end
