WanderWise: AI-Powered Travel Planning Telegram Bot

Led the development of WanderWise, an intelligent travel planning bot that transforms group trip planning from chaos to clarity. The solution seamlessly integrates into Telegram group chats, where it analyzes conversations and requirements to create personalized travel itineraries.

As the technical lead, I architected a robust system using Python for the backend, implementing NLP capabilities through Mistral AI for context-aware conversation understanding. The bot processes complex group dynamics, handling multiple starting locations, accessibility requirements, and dietary preferences to generate optimal travel plans.

Key technical achievements:

- Engineered a scalable backend that processes natural language inputs and maintains conversation context

- Integrated with Telegram Bot API for seamless group chat interaction

- Implemented comprehensive travel planning through Google APIs (Maps, Flights, Hotels)

- Developed intelligent aggregation algorithms to reconcile diverse group preferences

- Built an automated itinerary generation system that accounts for logistics and scheduling constraints

WanderWise represents a novel approach to collaborative travel planning, eliminating the traditional friction points of group coordination while ensuring everyone's preferences and requirements are met. The system scales from small groups to large parties, maintaining performance and accuracy regardless of complexity.
