Where do the answers come from?
From live inventory data, so availability answers stay current. That cut repeat contacts by about 35% in our delivered engagement.
Does it work outside office hours?
Yes. It covers support 24/7, independent of staffing.
What happens with complex requests?
They go to your team, with the conversation context attached.
Where should a travel business start?
With the questions your team answers most, in one channel. We map them against your live inventory, agree when to hand over to staff, and build a working version you can test before it scales.
How is traveller data handled?
The assistant sees only what it needs to answer, with role-based access and a record of what was asked. Where traveller data is stored is agreed during discovery.
How long does a travel assistant take to build?
A prototype on your inventory data takes about 6 to 9 weeks, a first version on one channel about 8 to 12 weeks, and a production rollout across channels typically 3 to 5 months.
Can we sign an NDA first?
Booking data often includes personal details. Yes. We can sign an NDA before you share anything, and we agree ownership of the work in the contract before the work starts.
What can AI for travel safely handle on its own?
Routine questions and bookings changes within clear rules; disruptions and exceptions go to an agent. AI for travel is set up that way, with risks documented using the NIST AI Risk Management Framework.
