Voy Travel
An AI-powered travel assistant that turns social media inspiration into complete, bookable trip plans.
Overview
The project
Voy bridges the gap between casual travel discovery and actual bookings. Users share inspiration — Instagram posts, TikTok videos, screenshots — and an AI assistant handles the rest: understanding context through natural conversation, searching hotels, checking availability, and guiding users through booking confirmation. Conversations are persistent and resumable, designed to feel less like a search engine and more like a knowledgeable travel companion.
Engineering
How it works
A production polyglot monorepo (Turborepo/pnpm) with a React Native/Expo mobile app, a Next.js backend API, a Python AI assistant runtime, and background workers — all sharing a common PostgreSQL database and Redis layer. The AI assistant runs on a stateful graph architecture with persistent conversation state and a dual-LLM strategy for different query types. End-to-end type safety is enforced via tRPC. Infrastructure includes distributed tracing, LLM observability, error tracking, and automated iOS CI/CD.
