Inspiration

We have all been fascinated by the idea of hitchhiking, trusting a stranger for their kindness to take you along their journey. We want to be the kind stranger that offers you a ride on an epic journey. We will plan out amazing vacations for you, while you just hitch hike along for the ride!

What it does

The app is a travel planning tool that auto-generate trip schedules with time blocks, locations, and activities based on user input. Only a small amount of information is necessary for the epic journey that we will plan for you.

How we built it

HitchHiker is made by a 4 person team consisting of 1 frontend engineer, 2 backend engineers, and 1 full stack engineer. It is created with openAI, Next.js, Firebase, and various APIs. Trip details are generated with rigorous prompt engineering.

Challenges we ran into

  • Fine-tuning the output generated by chatGPT
  • generating consistent output format
  • generating useful information

Accomplishments that we're proud of

The app is mostly furnished with the initial goals we set out to do. Enjoy our App!

What we learned

There is a bright future for AI

What's next for HitchHiker

Upgrade user interface. We want to increase the usability of the app by adding more utility features that allow the user to book flights, hotels, and download their schedule.
