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 itineraries—saving time and ensuring a seamless travel experience.

🚀 Why Automate Trip Planning?

Traditionally, trip planning involves:

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

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

✅ 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.

💡 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.

🛠️ Building an AI-Driven Trip Planner with KaibanJS

Let’s implement this automation step by step using KaibanJS.

1️⃣ Install KaibanJS Tools

npm install @kaibanjs/tools

2️⃣ Set Up AI Agents

import { Agent, Task, Team } from 'kaibanjs';
import { CitySelector, LocalExpert, TravelConcierge } from '@kaibanjs/tools';

// Define City Selector Agent
const citySelector = new CitySelector({
    name: 'Peter Atlas',
    role: 'City Selector',
    goal: 'Find the best city based on user preferences and travel conditions.'
});

// Define Local Expert Agent
const localExpert = new LocalExpert({
    name: 'Sophia Lore',
    role: 'Local Insights Expert',
    goal: 'Provide cultural insights, best attractions, and local tips.'
});

// Define Travel Concierge Agent
const travelConcierge = new TravelConcierge({
    name: 'Maxwell Journey',
    role: 'Itinerary Creator',
    goal: 'Generate a structured itinerary with daily plans, dining options, and logistics.'
});

3️⃣ Automate the Planning Process

const tripPlanningTeam = new Team({
    name: 'Trip Planning AI Team',
    agents: [citySelector, localExpert, travelConcierge],
    tasks: [
        new Task({ description: "'Select best destination', agent: citySelector }),"
        new Task({ description: "'Gather cultural insights', agent: localExpert }),"
        new Task({ description: "'Build a travel itinerary', agent: travelConcierge })"
    ],
    inputs: {
        travelDates: '2024-12-01 to 2024-12-15',
