With KaibanJS, an open-source JavaScript framework for building multi-agent AI systems, you can streamline trip planning by deploying AI-driven agents to select destinations, provide local recommendations, and generate detailed itinerariesβ€”saving time and ensuring a seamless travel experience.


πŸš€ Why Automate Trip Planning?

Traditionally, trip planning involves:

βœ… Destination Research – Manually comparing cities based on budget, events, and weather.

βœ… Local Insights Gathering – Scouring blogs, guides, and forums for authentic recommendations.

βœ… Itinerary Building – Structuring travel schedules, restaurant visits, and sightseeing stops.

This process is time-consuming, prone to information overload, and often results in suboptimal plans.

πŸ’‘ Enter AI-Powered Trip Planning with KaibanJS

KaibanJS leverages AI agents to automate trip planning. Here’s how it works:

1️⃣ City Selector Agent – Picks the best destination based on dates, travel preferences, and local events.

2️⃣ Local Expert Agent – Provides deep insights into the selected city, including hidden gems and must-visit spots.

3️⃣ Travel Concierge Agent – Builds a well-structured itinerary, optimizing time and budget constraints.

        new Task({ description: "'Gather cultural insights', agent: localExpert }),"
        new Task({ description: "'Build a travel itinerary', agent: travelConcierge })"
    ],
