Inspiration

Travel is all about discovering new places, cultures, and experiences, but the planning process can often be stressful and overwhelming. Roamio was born out of a desire to make traveling as seamless and enjoyable as possible, using AI to take the guesswork out of itineraries and uncover hidden gems along the way. We wanted to create a travel buddy that’s not only smart but also collaborative, helping friends and fellow travelers plan trips together in real-time.

What it does

Roamio is an AI-powered travel companion that personalizes every journey based on user preferences and real-time data. It offers tailored recommendations for attractions, restaurants, and activities. Roamio also enables collaboration, allowing users to co-plan itineraries, share travel tips, and explore destinations together, making travel more connected and meaningful.

How we built it

We developed Roamio using models like OpenAI to understand user preferences and provide dynamic recommendations. The AI leverages these advanced models to continuously learn from user interactions and refine suggestions in real-time. Additionally, we implemented a real-time collaboration feature using Convex documentation to allow multiple users to work on shared travel plans simultaneously. Building the platform required integration with various APIs to offer live travel updates and a seamless booking experience.

Challenges we ran into

One of the most significant challenges we faced was implementing real-time collaboration using Convex documentation. While powerful, the learning curve was steep, and integrating it smoothly with our existing infrastructure required a lot of troubleshooting and creative problem-solving. Additionally, handling offline functionality and ensuring Roamio remained useful without internet access proved complex but was essential for keeping the app reliable in remote locations.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We’re particularly proud of the personalized travel experience Roamio offers. The ability for users to collaborate and plan trips together in real-time adds a social dimension to travel planning that’s often missing in traditional tools. Also, creating an AI that adapts to user preferences and dynamically updates itineraries as circumstances change (e.g., weather, delays) is something we’re excited to share.

What we learned

Throughout the process, we learned a lot about the intricacies of building a user-centric platform that feels intuitive and helpful. Working with Convex documentation pushed us to think critically about real-time collaboration and ensure the system remained robust under various conditions. We also learned how important it is to anticipate user needs, especially when designing for travel, where plans can change unexpectedly.

What's next for Roamio

• Advanced AI: We'll continue to enhance our integration with models like OpenAI to offer even more personalized and context-aware travel recommendations.
• Offline Mode: We plan to improve Roamio’s offline functionality, enabling real-time collaboration even without internet access, so users can stay connected during their adventures.
• Integration with Travel Services: We’re looking to integrate with major travel services to enable direct booking, calendar synchronization, and access to travel deals within the app.
