What it does

Visionary is an artificial intelligent assistant that can communicate with the users and help them to plan for the next vacation. You can either chat with the AI assistant or prompt them for suggestions on vocation planning.

As an example, imagine you travel to a new city. You now fell hungry but you have no idea where to dine in based on your cuisine favor. In this condition, you can ask visionary for help. To be more specific, you can type in nearby restaurant and our AI assistant will send you back the top three ranked restaurants based on your needs and your preferences.

To talk more about the technologies. First, I wrote data crawler to scrape information directly from the website, Then, I clean the data and store them into a collection of databases on DynamoDB. Second, I incorporate recommendation system to fit the interests of all different users. Third, I created a chatbot that allows users to chat with an artificial intelligent assistant, which we called as visionary. And finally, based on what we have here, visionary can help people plan for their vacation in an easy, efficient and comfortable way.
