## What is Wandermi?

Wandermi is a **Travel OS** — not a travel chatbot. Unlike generic AI assistants (ChatGPT, Gemini), Wandermi combines:

- **Persistent memory**: Learns your travel style, crowd tolerance, budget, and preferences across every trip
- **Real actions**: Creates trips, adds/removes places, reschedules itineraries — real Firestore operations, not text suggestions
- **Proprietary crowd data**: Community crowd reports + BestTime.app integration — a data flywheel no general-purpose LLM can replicate
- **Anti-overtourism mission**: Recommends by authenticity and crowd tolerance, not popularity

**The difference**: Gemini answers questions. Wandermi acts — and remembers.

## The Problem

Popular travel apps (TripAdvisor, Google Maps) rank by popularity and amplify overtourism. Generic AI assistants (ChatGPT, Gemini) are stateless — no travel memory, no crowd data, no real actions.

Overtourism destroys local culture, degrades the environment, and makes travel worse for everyone. Wandermi breaks the loop.

## Core Features

- **Smart Discovery Engine**: AI-powered hidden gem recommendations ranked by authenticity + crowd tolerance, not review count
- **Real-time Crowd Levels**: Live + forecast crowd data from community reports and BestTime.app
- **AI Travel Agent (GPT-4o)**: Persistent-memory trip planner with function calling — creates and edits real trips
- **Hidden Gems System**: Community-nominated authentic places, 3-tier badge: Undiscovered → Rising → Established
- **Impact Score**: Rewards users who contribute crowd reports, nominate gems, travel off-season — builds the data flywheel
- **Travel Diary**: Photo + location diary. Printed albums via Peecho (post-launch)
