Meituan Travel Assistant

Problem

Travel planning often forces users to switch between separate flows for flights, hotels, train tickets, and attractions, while comparing prices, budgets, and detail pages. meituan-travel addresses concrete trip intents by bringing search, recommendation, and result presentation into one conversational workflow.

How It Works

• Auth and setup: it checks CLI installation, token cache, and authorization state; when needed, it shows a QR code and auth link, then calls poll-token in the same turn.
• Parameter extraction: it identifies city, dates, party size, budget, and destination from the conversation; if city is missing, it defaults to Beijing, but explicit user input takes priority.
• Query execution: it calls the ht-ai CLI with --origin-query set to the user's full original request, preserving conditions that might otherwise be compressed.
• Result passthrough: it returns hotels, flights, trains, tickets, prices, links, and images exactly as provided by the CLI; price placeholders must not be guessed, and deep links must not be reduced to plain text.

Boundaries

It fits queries such as 'train tickets to Wuhan tomorrow', 'a hotel in Kaifeng under 500', and 'Shanghai Disneyland tickets for two adults and one child'. It does not cover visa applications, passport processing, food delivery, or ride-hailing. The token is sensitive and must not be printed in chat or logs.
