Ticket Booking Bot using RPA

Overview

This project aims to automate booking tickets on various websites for trains and flights. Despite the plethora of ticket booking websites available, finding the best one that fits the user's budget and quality preferences can be challenging. The Ticket Booking Bot, developed using Robotic Process Automation (RPA), automates this process using user inputs to find the best website based on budget and quality and then books the tickets on that site. This bot also reduces users' time and effort to find and book tickets. The chatbot component uses keywords to understand user requests and initiate the booking process. The project utilizes UiPath Studio and UiPath Orchestrator to achieve automation.
