Designed for scalability and real-world use. HolidayPlanner follows modular architecture, includes error handling, testing, and environmental configuration. In future it would be production-ready AI orchestration system suitable for both research and practical deployment.
HolidayPlanner is a multi-agent AI system designed to make travel planning smarter, faster, and more personalized. Instead of juggling multiple tools and websites, users can interact through a single, intelligent interface that automatically handles destination insights, weather forecasting, itinerary generation, and budget planning — all in one place.
This project demonstrates the power of agentic AI orchestration using LangGraph, LLMs (Groq + Hugging Face models), and real-world APIs like OpenWeather and Yelp to generate dynamic and context-aware holiday plans. Each agent in the system plays a specific role, communicating seamlessly with others to complete the user’s travel request from start to finish. It is powered by a team of collaborating agents, each responsible for a distinct function. Agents use here are:
Input Agent – Captures user preferences such as destination, travel duration, and budget.
Destination Agent – Analyzes and validates the destination input and prepares it for downstream agents.
Weather Agent – Fetches live weather data for the destination using the OpenWeather API.
Budget Agent – Estimates spending, checks for potential budget constraints, and flags overspending risks.
Itinerary Agent – Generates personalized day-by-day itineraries using Groq or Hugging Face models.
Result Agent – Compiles final results into a coherent, user-friendly summary in JSON format.
Metrics Agent – Logs system activity, API responses, and performance data for observability and debugging.
This modular structure ensures clean separation of concerns, reusability, and fault tolerance, making it easy to extend or deploy in various environments.
HolidayPlanner integrates multiple APIs to bring live and contextual insights into your travel plan:
OpenWeather API – For real-time weather updates.
Yelp API – To discover top-rated restaurants, hotels, and attractions.
Groq API – Provides fast, context-aware LLM reasoning for itinerary generation.
Hugging Face API – Summarizes and refines text responses for natural readability.
Through these integrations, the system ensures accurate, up-to-date, and data-driven travel recommendations.
It’s a practical demonstration of how agentic AI systems can orchestrate multiple intelligent modules to deliver a seamless, human-like planning experience with a core concept in modern autonomous AI design.
The HolidayPlanner project follows a structured, multi-phase methodology that integrates agentic AI design, API-driven intelligence, and LangGraph orchestration to automate the entire travel planning workflow. The approach combines AI reasoning, data retrieval, and system coordination into a single cohesive pipeline.
System Design Overview:
The methodology begins with a multi-agent architecture, where each agent is designed as a specialized AI component responsible for one aspect of the planning process. Instead of building a single, monolithic model, HolidayPlanner uses modular agents that collaborate dynamically using LangGraph, ensuring clarity, scalability, and easy debugging. Each agent interacts via a message-passing workflow, enabling contextual memory and logical sequencing of steps (e.g., fetching weather before generating an itinerary).
Workflow Orchestration using LangGraph:
At the heart of the system lies LangGraph orchestration, which acts as the “control center” for communication among agents. The orchestrator defines how each agent connects and the order in which they’re triggered:
a. The Input Agent captures and validates user data.
b. The Destination Agent processes and standardizes the destination input.
c. The Weather Agent calls the OpenWeather API to retrieve real-time weather details.
d. The Budget Agent uses logic or model-based estimation to calculate approximate travel costs.
e. The Itinerary Agent uses Groq LLM or Hugging Face API to create a custom travel plan.
f. The Result Agent merges and formats all outputs into a final structured summary.
g. The Metrics Agent logs runtime metrics, API usage, and agent performance for observability.
This flow is visualized through the graph_flow.png diagram generated by the orchestration module, allowing transparent tracking of agent interactions.
Data Integration & Processing:
To ensure realistic and dynamic outputs, HolidayPlanner integrates several external APIs and AI tools:
a. OpenWeather API – Fetches live temperature, humidity, and forecast data.
b. Yelp API – Recommends popular hotels, restaurants, and attractions in the user’s chosen destination.
c. Groq API – Handles reasoning and itinerary composition at high speed and low latency.
d. Hugging Face Inference API – Refines responses and improves the tone and readability of generated
itineraries.
Each agent processes and returns structured JSON data to ensure smooth interoperability.
Agent Intelligence & Memory:
Agents in HolidayPlanner are stateless in isolation but stateful as a group, meaning:
a. Each agent performs a specialized task independently.
b. The LangGraph orchestrator maintains a shared state (context) passed from one agent to the next.
c. Agents use the shared context to make informed decisions based on previous outputs (e.g., the weather agent’s data informs itinerary suggestions).
This agentic behavior creates an autonomous yet coordinated decision-making system — a hallmark of modern AI engineering.
Implementation & Reproducibility:
The system is implemented in Python with a focus on clean structure and reproducibility:
a. Separate folders for agents, tools, orchestration, and configuration.
b. .env file for secure API key management, and .env_example for reproducibility.
c. Logging and metrics integrated for transparency.
d. Compatible with both local and cloud-based execution.
Running python main.py launches the planner workflow, prompting the user for input via terminal and generating both structured output and a LangGraph visualization (graph_flow.png).
Evaluation & Validation:
During testing, each agent was validated individually to ensure:
API connectivity and data accuracy.
Response coherence from Groq and Hugging Face models.
Orchestration correctness using visual graphs.
Error handling for cases like missing inputs or invalid destinations.
Modular Extensibility:
The architecture is designed for future upgrades that might Plug-and-play new agents (e.g., FlightAgent, HotelBookingAgent). Extendable orchestration flow in langgraph_flow.py with deployment through Streamlit/Gradio-based UI or containerization.
The HolidayPlanner system was tested through a series of experiments designed to evaluate the accuracy, reliability, and consistency of agent interactions and API integrations.
