Build Your Own AI Travel Agent with Apple Foundation Models
Build Your Own AI Travel Agent with Apple Foundation Models
Go beyond AI chatbots. Learn to build intelligent iOS applications that understand requests, make decisions, and take action.
In this live, hands-on, 3-hour workshop, you'll build HelloTravel, an AI-powered travel assistant using SwiftUI and Apple's Foundation Models framework.
Your agent will understand natural language requests, ask follow-up questions, search for flights using external APIs, and present results in a SwiftUI interface.
You'll also learn how to use Profiles and decision-based model routing to create more flexible and capable AI applications.
By the end of the workshop, you won't just understand AI agents. You'll have built one yourself.
What You'll Learn
Build AI agents that take action: Move beyond simple chatbots by connecting AI to external tools and APIs.
Understand user intent: Build agents that ask follow-up questions and work toward completing a goal.
Generate structured responses: Display AI-generated information directly in SwiftUI.
Customize model behavior: Use Profiles to configure AI for different tasks.
Implement intelligent routing: Use decision-based models to select the appropriate model or workflow.
Build responsive AI experiences: Integrate streaming responses into your SwiftUI applications.
What You'll Build
You'll create HelloTravel, an AI travel agent that can handle requests like:
"Find me affordable flights from Houston to New York next Friday, returning Sunday."
Your agent will interpret the request, gather missing information, call an external flight search API, and present relevant flight options.
You'll see how external tools, Profiles, and model routing work together to create a more capable AI-powered application.
Who Should Attend?
Swift and SwiftUI developers who want to move beyond basic AI integration and start building intelligent agents.
Basic familiarity with Apple's Foundation Models framework is recommended, but previous AI agent experience is not required.
Requirements
Xcode 27 or later.
An Apple Intelligence-compatible iPhone or iPad running iOS 27 or later.
Apple Intelligence enabled with the on-device model available.
Basic Swift and SwiftUI knowledge.
