# The Plan — AI Travel Agent
> Personal travel planning assistant powered by AI, available on Telegram

## What is The Plan?
The Plan is a personal AI travel agent that lives in Telegram. The assistant is named "Osi". It plans trips with real math (comparing transport options with actual costs), generates day-by-day itineraries with specific restaurants, hotels, and activities, adapts in real-time during your trip, and learns from each trip via a Traveler DNA profile.

## Key Features

### Planning
- Transport analysis with explicit math (e.g., car rental €1,351 vs train €242 vs hybrid €703)
- Day-by-day itinerary generation with real prices in local currency
- Visa/document requirements based on nationality
- Pre-trip checklist auto-sent 7 days before departure (visa, vaccines, plug, currency, local apps, weather)
- Smart wishlist: send a URL (Instagram, TikTok, Google Maps) and Osi extracts destination + category
- File import (TXT/CSV/JSON/PDF): Osi extracts visited countries and dream destinations into your profile

### During the trip
- Proactive reminders 30-90 minutes before each booked activity
- Weather alerts and indoor alternatives if conditions change
- Real-time plan adaptation (place closed, running late, weather change)
- Live location-aware: nearby wishlist items surface when you share location
- Emergency info (nearest hospital, embassy, local emergency numbers)

### Urban concierge (works in your home city too)
- "Kebab near me / coffee near me / hotel for a friend" — local search anchored to residence city
- Identify a place from a photo (EXIF GPS via reverse geocoding — photo must be sent as a Telegram document, not compressed image)
- A→B routing with current traffic

### Multi-user
- Pair sharing: invite a partner or friend as ORGANIZER (can edit) or COMPANION (read-only) via /invite
- FAMILY tier: up to 5 isolated sub-profiles, each with their own Traveler DNA, memories, and trips

### Memory
- Traveler DNA: learns travel styles, dietary restrictions, pace, past trips
- Long-term memory: remembers preferences across sessions (paid tiers)
- Post-trip debrief feeds back into future planning

### Languages
- Spanish, English, French, German (auto-detected from Telegram language_code)

## Differences vs. ChatGPT or generic LLMs
- ChatGPT forgets every conversation. Osi keeps a persistent Traveler DNA across trips.
- ChatGPT has training-data cutoffs. Osi calls real-time tools: Google Places, Google Directions, Perplexity, Open-Meteo, exchange rates.
- ChatGPT only responds when you message it. Osi writes proactively (activity reminders, weather alerts, pre-trip checklists).
- ChatGPT can't share state with a travel partner. Osi has /invite (pair sharing) and Family tier for groups.
