Guia Amazonas: desenvolvimento e avaliação de um protótipo de aplicativo móvel para divulgação turística do estado do Amazonas

Abstract

The present work presents the development of Guia Amazonas, a cross-platform mobile application designed to promote tourist attractions in the state of Amazonas, Brazil. The system was implemented using the Flutter framework, a technology that enables the creation of native applications for both Android and iOS from a single codebase, resulting in a more agile and consistent development process. The application aims to facilitate access to tourism-related information by offering features such as attraction categorization, detailed descriptions, geolocation, and interaction with a virtual assistant powered by generative artificial intelligence. These features are intended to provide greater autonomy to visitors and contribute to the appreciation of Amazonian destinations that remain relatively unexplored. From a technical perspective, the project follows software engineering principles, including requirements gathering, functional specification, architectural modeling, implementation, and integration with external services such as a REST API and the Gemini 1.5 Flash model. The final product is presented as a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), demonstrating the feasibility of the proposed solution and paving the way for future enhancements and expansions.
