AI-Powered Planner using Google calendar

AI-Powered Planner using Google Calendar

Inspiration
Managing daily schedules, festivals, and travel plans can be overwhelming. We wanted to create an AI-powered planner that automates event organization, provides structured routines, and enhances travel experiences with recommendations, all while integrating seamlessly with Google Calendar.

What It Does

Generates a structured weekly routine based on upcoming calendar events.
Detects and lists all festivals for the entire month with dates and AI-generated descriptions.
Identifies travel plans for the month and provides AI-powered recommendations for destinations.
Fetches real images for festivals and travel locations using Pexels API.
Uses AI (Groq API) to generate time management tips, event insights, and travel suggestions.

How We Built It

Google Calendar API – Fetches events, festivals, and travel plans.
Groq LLaMA 3 API – Generates weekly routines, festival descriptions, and travel insights.
Pexels API – Fetches real images for festivals and travel destinations.
Streamlit – Provides an interactive UI for users to access their AI-generated planner.
Python – Core backend for handling API requests and AI-driven text processing.

Challenges We Ran Into

Event detection issues: Some Google Calendar events were not detected due to varying naming conventions.
Travel plan filtering: Identifying travel-related events required improving keyword detection.
API errors: Groq API model selection and endpoint mismatches initially caused failures.
Image fetching limitations: Some festivals and locations had limited availability on Pexels API.

Accomplishments That We're Proud Of

Successfully built an end-to-end AI-powered planner that integrates multiple APIs.
Created an interactive and user-friendly UI using Streamlit.
Improved event detection accuracy for both personal and holiday calendars.
Ensured smooth AI-generated insights for routines, travel, and festivals.

What We Learned

API rate limits and optimization: Managing multiple API requests efficiently.
Event processing techniques: Improving detection of travel and holiday events.
AI-generated text optimization: Fine-tuning LLaMA 3 API prompts for better responses.
User experience considerations: Balancing automation with user customization.

What's Next for AI-Powered Planner Using Google Calendar

Voice integration: Enable users to ask questions about their schedule via voice commands.
Personalized recommendations: Suggest productivity techniques based on calendar patterns.
Multi-user support: Allow collaborative planning for families or teams.
Weather-based travel adjustments: Provide travel insights based on real-time weather updates.
Integration with more APIs: Expand to include Google Maps for navigation and OpenAI’s DALL·E for custom images.

This project combines AI-powered automation with everyday planning, making it an efficient and intuitive smart assistant for managing life’s events.
