travelbot-genai-gke is a simple application that helps you plan your travels using artificial intelligence. It uses Google’s tools, like Vertex AI and Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), to provide smart suggestions and answers about travel options.

- Processor: Intel or AMD processor with at least 2 GHz
- Memory: 4 GB of RAM or more
- Storage: At least 500 MB free space
- Internet Connection: Needed for the bot to access travel data online
