  • Location-Based Suggestions: Recommend places based on user’s current geographical location. 

3. Fetching Place Details: 

  • API Integration: Fetch details of places using various APIs like Google Places API, LocationIq API, Nominatim API, and Wikipedia API. 

4. Place Ranking Algorithm: 

  • Ranking Factors: Rank places based on factors such as Wikipedia views, word count, and distance to ensure relevant recommendations. 

5. Facts Creation for Places: 

  • AI-Driven Fact Generation: Use AI/ML techniques to generate informative facts about recommended places. 

6. Data Storage: 

  • Efficient Data Storage: Store generated facts and metadata in MongoDB for quick access and retrieval. 

7. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): 

  • Enhanced Fact Quality: Use RAG techniques to improve the quality of generated facts by retrieving relevant information from text, PDFs, and text-based images. 

8. Seamless User Experience: 

  • User-Friendly Interface: Provide a smooth and intuitive user experience for interacting with the application.
