# WanderTrip

> WanderTrip is an AI-powered travel planning platform and autonomous travel concierge. It generates fully personalized multi-day itineraries through natural-language chat, enriches every recommendation with real-time Google Places data (photos, ratings, reviews), and lets users book flights and hotels — all in one seamless interface at [wandertrip.in](https://wandertrip.in).

## What WanderTrip Does

WanderTrip replaces the traditional travel agent with an AI concierge that handles the entire travel lifecycle — from inspiration and research to booking and in-trip support. Users describe their dream trip in plain English (or any language), and the AI instantly crafts a detailed day-by-day itinerary complete with activities, restaurants, hotels, transport, and hidden local gems. Every place is enriched with live Google Places data, ensuring real photos, ratings, and reviews are attached to each recommendation.
