Discover FastAPI, a modern Python backend framework powering your travel AI project's frontend with Streamlit, enabling rapid, scalable APIs for ML models, databases, and microservices.
Build the backend for a travel ai project using fast api with a streamlit frontend, defining a pydantic query request and an ask endpoint.
Read uploaded PDF files, split content into chunks with a recursive character text splitter, and upload the resulting data to a vector store as part of the data ingestion flow.
Explore how word embeddings convert words into numerical vectors, enabling dimensionality reduction, finding related words, and revealing semantic meaning for machine learning models.
Generate sentence embeddings with Sentence Transformers from Hugging Face by encoding PDF chunks into 384-dimensional vectors, using a dedicated embeddings module, and set the stage for vector stores.
Understand how vector databases store embeddings for semantic search and distinguish them from relational databases, with examples like text, audio, and video being indexed by chroma, pinecone, and quadrant.
Sign up for Qdrant, log in, and create a free cluster with a travel assistant collection. Retrieve the API key and host to connect your project with a 384-vector setup.
Connect to the current vector store, initialize a travel assistant collection with 384 dimensional embeddings and cosine distance, and prepare to push PDF-derived embeddings into it.
Establish a connection to the vector store, prepare text and metadata payloads with embeddings from pdf chunks, and upload them to a collection for future retrieval with search filters.
Explore retrieval augmented generation, which fuses language models with external knowledge sources and a vector database to ground answers and reduce hallucinations.
Implement retrieval functionality using embeddings and vector stores, fetch top k semantically similar paragraphs. Test via a fast API endpoint and explore OpenAI or Hugging Face LM options.
Explore OpenAI’s evolution and its language models—GPT-3, ChatGPT, Codex, DALL-E, and Whisper—and their API-enabled uses in support, content, coding, images, and recommendations.
Register for OpenAI, generate an API key, and explore pricing, limits, and docs; set usage caps, copy your key, and review examples to implement your project.
Explore Hugging Face, an open, collaborative AI community centered on the transformers library. Access pre-trained NLP and multi-modal models, datasets, spaces, and tokens to fuel your travel AI agent project.
Builds a generator that turns retrieved documents into a human readable travel answer using a LangChain prompt template and a QA chain, with OpenAI or Hugging Face model providers.
Integrate the frontend and backend to build an end-to-end travel AI project using FastAPI and a Streamlit interface, including file upload, POST requests, and query handling.
Deploy your apps, APIs, and AI workloads quickly with Render, a platform that connects to GitHub, auto builds on pushes, and offers a free tier for static sites.
Do you want to build and deploy a real-world GenAI application from scratch?
In this hands-on course, you’ll learn how to create your very own AI Travel Agent - an intelligent assistant that can read PDF guides, store them as embeddings, and answer user queries using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) techniques.
This course walks you through every stage of development, starting from project setup, building the Streamlit frontend, developing a FastAPI backend, connecting to a vector database (Qdrant), and integrating OpenAI or Hugging Face LLMs. By the end, you’ll not only understand how modern GenAI apps work - you’ll have your own deployed AI assistant ready to use and extend.
What You’ll Build
A working AI Travel Assistant that can ingest PDFs and answer travel-related questions intelligently.
A clean and modular Python project structure suitable for real-world deployments.
A RAG pipeline that connects ingestion, embeddings, retrieval, and LLM generation seamlessly.
Fully deployed frontend and backend on cloud platforms such as Railway and Streamlit Cloud.
What You’ll Learn
How to set up and structure GenAI projects like a pro.
Building beautiful Streamlit UIs with file upload and query blocks.
