This is a submission for the Twilio Challenge

What I Built

We have built a Mood Scout web application, which takes in your mood or "what you feel like doing, right now", as an input, and suggests you the best places according to your mood, around you with their directions, sent right down to your phone for easy navigation.

The AI catch of our application

Unlike the exisiting location finders, place finders, maps, blah, blah, etc.,
This application leverages Google's Gemini AI, in getting suggestions of places, according to the user's mood !
Whose data is then processed along with the geo location and returned.

A Simple Yet Innovative Idea ...

Twilio and AI

The traditional fetch from API / DB is so boring, and redundant.
How about leveraging our AI, to pickup the scent of our mood, and automatically suggest places around us for the best feel.
