  • João: Covers from Slide 5 to the end

3. 📝 Observations and Comments

Slide 1

  • Team members
  • Supervisors
  • Quick presentation introduction
  • Product name; what it is (brief explanation)

Slide 2

  • We conducted a small study to validate the concept
    • We received X responses
    • We asked X types of questions
      • About travel habits
    • We asked about features users would like in a travel planning app
      • Include graphs in the slide

Slide 3

  • Story
    • Traveling to a destination
    • Likely have a budget I don’t want to exceed
    • Choosing flights/transport
    • Example of lack of knowledge
      • Travelers have to spend time searching for places they would enjoy because they don’t know the location
    • Example of overwhelm
      • When looking for places to visit, there are hundreds or thousands of options, which can be confusing or even stressful
    • Among all these options, it is difficult to plan a trip that:
      • Stays within budget
      • Makes sense in terms of scheduling
      • Aligns with the traveler’s goals

Slide 4

  • How are we solving this problem?
    • We are creating a web platform to address these challenges
  • What are we doing?
    • Reducing the effort needed to plan a trip by delivering exactly what the user wants
    • Creating personalized itineraries based on user preferences, while adapting to external factors such as local and seasonal trends
    • Simplifying budgeting by consolidating all necessary elements into a single platform
      • Potential question: What exactly does budgeting cover? Museums? Flights? Hotels?
  • Focus
    • Ensuring simple and intuitive user flows to maintain user engagement

Slide 5

  • Competitor research
    • We analyzed existing market solutions
    • Our competitor analysis table highlights different features
    • Based on our survey results, there is currently no solution that includes all the features identified as important by participants
    • We propose developing a comprehensive solution that integrates all these features

Slide 6

  • High-level architecture
    • We will pull data from multiple external APIs (e.g., Google Maps, TripAdvisor)
    • This data will be used in our AI models for itinerary generation and recommendations
    • Data Collection
      • Normalizes data from external APIs so it can be processed by our models
    • Trip Management Service
      • Manages interactions between both AI modules
      • Core business logic of the application
      • (More details might be needed here)
    • User Service
      • Manages user profiles and stores preferences
    • User Interface

  • M1 (Milestone 1)
    • What we have completed so far:
      • Project setup and team organization
