Inspiration

Our goal and inspiration was to personalize travel planning by automatically recommending places based on your mood and available time.

What it does

FlyMood suggests travel spots according to your current feelings. You complete a short emotional quiz and link your calendar, and the app utilizes AI to recommend places that suit your mood and available time.

How we built it

We created it with a Shiny app, combining APIs for accessing calendars, travel information, and suggestions based on AI.

Challenges we ran into

Connecting to the API could be inconsistent at times, and achieving reliable responses took much trial and error along with troubleshooting.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We linked the app to an individual calendar and automatically identified available time slots to create practical travel options.

What we learned

We discovered how APIs function in practical situations and that keeping things simple in Shiny applications is important. A simpler design results in more stability and a better experience for users.
