RouteME - Smart Sightseeing Route Optimizer

RouteME is an AI agent that turns "I have a few hours and I like history and food" into an actual walkable sightseeing route. Given a starting location, a time budget, and a set of interests, it builds a sequence of real points of interest, using a Groq-hosted Llama 3.3 70B model as a tool-calling agent that reasons over candidate stops and picks the ones that best match the traveler's constraints. If the AI agent is unavailable or fails, a deterministic nearest-neighbor heuristic takes over automatically, so the app never breaks. Every piece of data behind the route is real: Geoapify supplies points of interest and walking travel times, and each stop's description is pulled live from Wikipedia. If no English article exists for a location, it's automatically translated via Google Translate, with a visible disclosure so users always know when text has been machine-translated rather than natively written. Routes render on an interactive Leaflet map alongside a synchronized stop list, with click-to-view descriptions for every point of interest.
