🌍 AI Travel Concierge - Basic Demo

A simple AI travel planning assistant built with AutoGen and Redis, featuring an intelligent chat interface with memory capabilities.

🚀 What This Demo Does

• Smart Travel Chat: Ask about destinations, flights, hotels, and activities
• Memory System: Remembers your preferences across conversations using Redis
• Real-time Search: Gets current travel information from the web
• Split Interface: Chat on the left, your learned preferences on the right

🚀 Quick Setup (5 minutes)

Step 1: Get Your API Keys

You'll need two free API keys:

• OpenAI API Key: Get from platform.openai.com
• Tavily API Key: Get from tavily.com (free tier available)

Step 2: Install Redis

docker run -d -p 6379:6379 --name redis redis:8.0.3

Step 3: Setup the Project

# Install uv (Python package manager)
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Clone and install
git clone <repository-url>
cd amr-autogen-travel-agent
uv sync

Step 4: Set Your API Keys

# Set your API keys (replace with your actual keys)
export OPENAI_API_KEY="your-openai-api-key-here"
export TAVILY_API_KEY="your-tavily-api-key-here"

Step 5: Run the Demo

python gradio_app.py

The app will open at http://localhost:7860 🎉

💬 Try These Examples

Once the app is running, try asking:

Basic Travel Questions:

• "I want to plan a week-long trip to Japan this fall"
• "Help me find flights from New York to Paris for 2 people"
• "What are the best restaurants in Tokyo for someone with food allergies?"

Watch the Memory Panel:

• As you chat, your preferences will appear on the right side
• The AI learns your budget, travel style, dietary needs, etc.
• This memory persists across conversations

🛠️ How It Works

Simple Architecture:

• Chat Interface: Powered by Gradio for the UI
• AI Agent: Uses AutoGen framework with OpenAI GPT
• Memory: Redis stores your learned preferences
• Search: Tavily provides real-time travel information

Key Files:

• gradio_app.py - The main UI application
• agent.py - The travel AI agent with memory
• pyproject.toml - Dependencies
