Ingeenee has been installed in the United States. Now you can use its computational intelligence to create interesting multi-point trips in the USA.
Intro
We are building Curiosio — the smartest travel guide. Curiosio is powered by Ingeenee — one of a kind AI engine, built by us.
- For leisure travelers, Curiosio helps discover & experience places between different points of the journey.
- For the travel industry, Curiosio takes old good Priceline’s Name Your Own Price system to the next level of Name Your Own Trip.
- At the core, Curiosio unlocks unique travel itineraries from the first principles (geo region + waypoints + duration + price).
Search for American Trip
To find an interesting trip in the United States: type start and finish points, and click GET TRIP. You can add waypoints between the start and finish if you know what you want. Select the names from the prompt as you type. “More” opens a form to set duration/dates and budget, and even more.
Curious, Geeky, Quirky
People tend to prefer themed trips, they confirmed this during conversations. We have started experimenting with themes and discovered two options:
- Transform our Knowledge Graph into a biased one, according to the known theme or combination of known themes. Search in the biased graph.
- Search in the default [unbiased] Knowledge Graph by points, getting a unique theme, defined by the combination of points and their POIs. The number of themes is unlimited.
We experimented with 2nd option, to get themed trips without transformation of the Knowledge Graph:
- Curious trips are usually balanced classic itineraries, with hidden curiosities. If you click proposed See & Do in those itineraries, you will confirm that the places are cool, and you may find some surprises.
- Geeky trips are biased for travel geeks. If you click proposed See & Do there, you may find yourself at an astronomic observatory for deep space, in the intercontinental ballistic missile silo, or legendary university.
- Quirky trips are biased to freaky places, which could be both natural (caves, craters, illusions) and man-made (ghost towns, novelties). Weirdly named places are common there.
Now it is good to navigate to curiosio.com to check them out. Thank you for reading, and stay curious!
Knowledge Graph
For new readers: Knowledge Graph (aka KG) is a linked data structure about populated places, nature, and POIs that have traveler value.
Curiosio requires access to the whole KG for performance and for themes. Ingeenee requires access to the whole KG for AI.
We analyzed APIs from Google, Facebook, Foursquare, TripAdvisor for use, and declined because Terms of Use prohibit caching and storing the data. Thus we created our own KG. As a byproduct of this effort — Curiosio is KG agnostic. We can plug any other KG and we can give our KG to others.
