🌍 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: Configure Your Environment

Create a .env file in the project directory (copy from env.example):

cp env.example .env

Edit the .env file with your actual API keys:

# Required API Keys
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-your-openai-api-key-here
TAVILY_API_KEY=your-tavily-api-key-here

# Optional Configuration (defaults shown)
REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379

Step 5: Run the Demo

uv run python gradio_app.py

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

The application will automatically:

• ✅ Validate your configuration and API keys
• ✅ Check Redis connectivity
• ✅ Load with responsive UI and memory management
