Defining The Problem

We get into all the ins and outs of our client’s problem.
  • Our client, a prominent tourism brand in Croatia, is known for offering immersive travel experiences, including campsite bookings and local travel services. With a growing global customer base, their digital platform plays a critical role in delivering timely and relevant information.
  • As international inquiries surged, their customer service system struggled to provide accurate, instant responses in multiple languages, leading to miscommunication, delayed replies, and missed engagement opportunities.
  • Travelers frequently requested up-to-date information on campsite availability, local guidelines, and weather conditions. The absence of real-time integration meant customers often received outdated or incomplete responses.
  • The existing setup lacked intelligent automation for handling booking queries, service requests, and local travel details. This resulted in operational bottlenecks, increased manual workload, and a less personalized experience for users.

Understanding The Need

We innovate while keeping people's needs in mind.
  • The client required a multilingual AI assistant that could understand and respond to customer queries in real-time across several languages, ensuring consistent support for international travelers.
  • Real-time data integration was critical for delivering up-to-date weather information, travel regulations, and promotional offers, replacing static responses with dynamic, relevant content.
  • Efficient service request handling had to be introduced to allow the chatbot to log issues like equipment malfunctions and automatically direct them to the appropriate maintenance teams.

What Zealous Proposed ?

Research. Understood. Proposed.

AI Chatbot Development

AI Chatbot Development

After in-depth research, we proposed a tailored AI chatbot for the Croatian tourism client. Our team suggested building it with LangChain, LangGraph, and LangSmith for workflow, orchestration, and optimization, powered by OpenAI’s GPT-4o-mini for efficient multilingual responses. We included a RAG model with ChromaDB for fast retrieval of campsite data and LiteralAI for conversation logging to refine performance.

Backend & API Integration

Backend & API Integration

For the backend, we proposed a Python system to handle chatbot logic and API calls. Our team integrated weather APIs (e.g., OpenWeatherMap or Meteoalarm) for real-time updates and set up a WhatsApp alerting system via Twilio to notify maintenance teams of urgent requests, ensuring quick operational response.

Frontend & User Experience

Frontend & User Experience

On the frontend, we suggested embedding a Chainlit-based chatbot into the client’s website, enhanced with Copilot and TypeScript for a responsive, intuitive UI/UX. This aimed to deliver seamless access and engaging interactions for travelers, aligning with the client’s hospitality goals.

The Journey

  • The Client Briefing 1

    Client Briefing

    We kicked off with workshops in Croatia to understand the client’s pain points—slow responses, lack of real-time weather data, and the need for multilingual support (Croatian, English, German). The goal was clear: build a chatbot that acts as both a travel assistant and service coordinator.

  • The Requirement Analysis 2

    Requirement Analysis

    Our team mapped out a system to handle FAQs, bookings, maintenance requests, and live weather updates. To keep responses accurate, we chose a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) model and proposed smart integrations like a vector store for fast lookups and WhatsApp alerts for urgent issues.

  • The Development Case Study 3

    Development

    Using Agile sprints, we ingested campsite data into ChromaDB and built the chatbot using GPT-4o-mini with LangChain. Our FastAPI backend handled real-time weather checks and WhatsApp notifications. We fine-tuned prompts and added a feedback loop to fix language-specific quirks.

  • The Testing case study 4

    Testing

    We stress-tested the system with heavy user loads, validated multilingual accuracy with native speakers, and ensured quick issue reporting (under 10 seconds from user to maintenance alert).

  • The Deployment case study 5

    Deployment

    The chatbot went live on Azure. CI/CD pipelines ensured fast fixes, and we delivered an admin dashboard so the client could update content easily. A week of monitoring confirmed that everything ran smoothly.

The fight was tough but so fun to crack!

We tackled challenges in multilingual accuracy, real-time responsiveness, and scalability. By refining language handling, improving issue triaging, enabling live data updates, optimizing search, and scaling for peak loads, we transformed the chatbot into a fast, reliable, and context-aware travel assistant.
  • GPT-4o-mini misread idioms and local terms (e.g., “šator” = tent). We fine-tuned prompts with regional travel slang and used LangSmith feedback, raising multilingual response accuracy to 95%.
  • Requests like “Broken toilet at Campsite Split” lacked triage. A FastAPI workflow categorizes and prioritizes issues, with WhatsApp alerts via Twilio, cutting response time to under 10 minutes.
  • Static answers couldn’t track live updates. Using LangChain + ChromaDB, we built an RAG system that synced with campsite data, delivering up-to-date answers on availability and regulations.
  • Unstructured PDFs slowed search and gave irrelevant results. We chunked content, added metadata, and fine-tuned embeddings, improving retrieval speed by 40% with accurate responses.
  • Load tests failed at 300+ users. We deployed on Azure Container Apps with auto-scaling and Redis caching, ensuring sub-second responses and smooth performance for 500+ users.
