## AI overview

trivago's software developers held a two-day internal hackathon in December 2015, with about 120 engineers working individually or in teams on 39 projects. The projects explored accessibility, offline capabilities, smart-device apps, bots, crowdfunding, learning platforms, and natural-language-processing-based travel guides. The event also emphasized knowledge exchange and learning, although not every project goal was completed.
