Abstract

myhostel is an app that will allow users with similar preferences to get to know each other before, during and after a trip, be it tourism, study or work. The app's system sees people who are or will be at the same destination on the same date, with similar interests, and suggests that both connect. In addition to the individual profile option, you have the choice to create group profiles, with people who, for example, may be traveling together. The profile of each one continues to exist, and he can use it to connect with more people, and from that, invite them to the community to join the group, in his #digitalroom, transforming that profile into a select and segmented one. The myhostel system sees groups being created, and with an AI tool, generates pushes for similar groups to connect with each other, making this ecosystem grow exponentially. The network is monitored in an automated way by another user mapping tool, which scans the profiles and marks which ones are trusted through a verification seal. It's the beginning of a revolution when it comes to connections and travel. It is the future of communities, a unique tool that will motivate people to get out of their comfort zone to meet new places, new people, and live new experiences. The State of SP is the main gateway to the country, and it will be through it that we choose to start the journey. (AU)
