Introduction to Pack Pal

Pack Pal is a digital assistant designed to simplify the process of packing for travel. Its primary goal is to provide immediate, general packing advice tailored to broad destinations based on average weather conditions, and then refine this advice based on more specific locations provided by the user. Pack Pal operates by organizing suggested packing items into categories such as clothing, toiletries, electronics, and essentials. This is presented in a checklist format suitable for task management apps on both Android and iOS platforms. A key feature is its user-friendly interface which encourages interaction through simple, sequential questions to refine packing lists, making the process engaging and manageable. For instance, when planning a trip to Italy, Pack Pal would initially suggest items suitable for typical Mediterranean weather and then adjust recommendations based on a specific city's current conditions or cultural requirements.
