Inspiration

I am going on exchange soon and wanted to built a tool that made itinerary planning much easier. I got my inspiration from scrolling Tiktok because that is usually where I get my activity ideas from. And one day it made me think "Hey wouldn't it be nice if i could just add the link from Tiktok and all the work is done for me?"

What it does

Simply, it takes in the share link from the Tiktok video you want to analyse. Information from the video's meta data is then fed into an LLM, which extracts the places listed in the video for the user to review. After which, it is slotted into the itinerary built with smart placement based on travel distances.

How we built it

We used React to develop the frontend of the webapp and FastAPI for the backend. Services such as gemini for the LLM and google maps are also part of the system.

Challenges we ran into

With limited finances to fund this project, many of the services I looked to had free tiers, such as google cloud and gemini. Furthermore, the scraping tools I used to extract the video information are not able to handle audio and visual data which limits the apps performance to only videos with information in the captions. If given the appropriate amount of resources, this tool would perform significantly better at information extraction.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

I am proud of the effort I have put in this project working alone for the first time, as well as bringing my very own idea to life. Thanks to the free openAI credits which supported this apps development, I got to develop a tool that I will definitely use for my travels.

What we learned

I've learnt alot about the use of FastAPI from this project, as well as deployment techniques.

What's next for GetSetGO

Funding would make this app even better so... until next time!
