AI Travel Planner

Classic constraint-satisfaction + tool orchestration capstone. Proves you can coordinate APIs, maintain itinerary state, and handle user iteration.

A travel agent juggling six browser tabs who remembers you hate 6am flights and need vegetarian restaurants.

Scenario

Tokyo April, $3K, vegetarian. Agent finds HND flights $680, hotel Shinjuku $900, schedules Fushimi Inari day with metro times, highlights vegan ramen spots, total $2,840 with booking URLs.

Solution

In Capstone Projects, apply AI Travel Planner to this scenario: Tokyo April, $3K, vegetarian. Identify the inputs, run the technique, validate the output, and note one thing you would monitor in production.

Do this before moving to the next module — reading alone is not enough.

Open the Code Walkthrough below and run it locally. Change one parameter related to AI Travel Planner (e.g. model, temperature, top_k, or tool name), observe the difference in output, and write 2–3 sentences explaining what changed.
