GuideAI is an AI-based travel assistant that helps users find locations, plan trips, get real-time navigation, and explore activities. It leverages AI for enhanced recommendations and smooth travel experiences.
This project was developed in collaboration with my friend during the IBM State-Level Hackathon, where we built an AI-powered travel guide to assist tourists with seamless navigation, trip planning, and real-time updates. 🚀

GuideAI was developed as part of the IBM State-Level Hackathon, where my friend and I collaborated to create an AI-driven travel assistant. Our goal was to enhance tourism experiences using AI and real-time data, providing travelers with smarter and more interactive solutions.
During the hackathon, we integrated IBM Watson services for AI-powered responses, implemented Google APIs for location tracking, and built an intuitive Flask-based backend. Our teamwork and innovation helped us build a project that could transform how tourists explore new places! 🌍
