Chatbot design

TravelBot is an AI-powered Conversational Travel Assistant designed to meet the unique needs of international graduate students. These students, juggling work and study, face the additional burden of frequent travel for mandatory on-site sessions. TravelBot alleviates this stress by syncing with the student’s school system to track their on-site schedule and find the best travel options. By automating the process of booking flights and accommodations, it helps students find cost-effective and convenient travel solutions, reducing the anxiety associated with unfamiliar destinations and solo travel.

This project was developed through a user-centered design approach, incorporating research, wireframing, and iterative prototyping. Using tools such as Figma and Miro, the design process focused on creating a seamless user experience. The result is a highly interactive digital interface that showcases how AI can simplify and enhance the travel planning process for international students.

TravelBot demonstrates how modern technology, particularly AI, can reshape the travel experience for international students, providing them with personalized, stress-free solutions. By removing the logistical complexities of travel, the app adds a sense of warmth and reassurance to their journeys, making technology not just a tool, but a comforting companion for students navigating both academic and geographical challenges.
