PROJECT PROPOSAL
1. Theme
AI-Powered Heritage Site Exploration System
2. Problem Statement
How might we develop an integrated solution that provides real-time data to help visitors
discover must-visit heritage sites in Tamil Nadu? This system should offer voice-assisted,
multilingual insights into the history and significance of these locations. Using advanced
language models (LLMs), the platform will deliver personalized, immersive storytelling,
real-time location tracking, and user-generated feedback to enhance the tourist experience.

6. Project Summary
The project aims to build a user-friendly solution that helps tourists explore heritage sites
in Tamil Nadu. Using fine-tuned language models for natural language processing, the
system provides multilingual voice assistance for immersive storytelling. Real-time location
tracking ensures visitors easily reach their destinations. A feedback system gathers user
insights, enabling others to view and share experiences. This comprehensive solution will
enhance accessibility, foster cultural appreciation, and promote tourism.
7. Proposed Solution with Methodology
- Data Collection: Gather historical and cultural data for Tamil Nadu heritage sites to fine-
tune free language models (e.g., LLaMA, Falcon, or GPT-J).
- NLP and Storytelling: Develop a natural language processing pipeline for generating
personalized, multilingual insights about heritage sites.
- Voice Assistance: Integrate free text-to-speech tools like Coqui TTS or Google TTS for
immersive audio experiences.
- Real-Time Navigation: Use GPS APIs (e.g., OpenStreetMap, Google Maps) to provide users
with real-time navigation to heritage sites.
- Feedback System: Allow users to leave feedback on locations, which others can view to
make informed decisions.
