Trip Planner using Hands-Off Agents Pattern - OpenAI Agents SDK

🤖 Multi-Agent Trip Planning System

Our trip planning system leverages OpenAI's Agents SDK to create an intelligent, multi-agent workflow that handles everything from initial preferences to final booking. The system consists of several specialized agents working in sequence:

1. 
   User Preferences Agent: The frontline agent that collects all necessary information about the trip


2. 
   Destination Research Agent: Researches activities and attractions using web search


3. 
   Itinerary Agent: Creates detailed day-by-day plans


4. 
   Booking Agent: Handles accommodation and activity reservations


5. 
   Summary Agent: Provides final confirmation and trip overview

🛠️ Key Components

Web Search Integration

The system utilizes OpenAI's WebSearchTool to gather real-time information about destinations, including:

• Local attractions and activities


• Weather forecasts


• Cultural events


• Restaurant recommendations


• Transportation options

📝 Demo

On launching the app, we provided input like "France trip plan". This activated the user preferences agent which returned follow-up questions to the user asking their preferences. Once the preferences were collected, the agent handsoff the control to another agent for researching the top activities to do in that destination.
