The idea behind Fambai came from noticing how hard it can be to prepare for travel: finding the best places, planning your route, and staying safe in a new country. The team wanted to make a friendly, smart helper that travelers could use anytime.

Trained the AI model to offer personalized, helpful suggestions
Challenges we ran into
Getting accurate travel data in real-time was tricky
Ensuring the AI gave relevant and safe advice required lots of testing
Building a clean, easy-to-use app interface took extra design effort
Accomplishments that we're proud of

Showcased an AI-powered solution built entirely during the event
What we learned
AI is powerful, but feeding it the right data is key
Even with advanced tech, user experience must feel simple and intuitive
Rapid teamwork and iteration really pay off in short project sprints
What's next for Fambai
Add more local travel data and broaden coverage worldwide
Improve the AI for better safety alerts and real-time updates
