Skift Take
While this is just the beginning, can we trust an AI chatbot with all our travel plans just yet? Well, humans are the best guides for now.
The Skift India Newsletter is your go-to platform for all news related to travel, tourism, airlines, and hospitality in India.
Online travel company Ixigo has introduced "Plan by Ixigo," an artificial intelligence trip planner that uses OpenAI's ChatGPT to help plan itineraries and accommodation options. The tool also delivers real-time destination information and automatically maps and generates a detailed itinerary, along with weather and air quality index updates.
“The perfect trip planning app is one that can create the exact same itinerary for you in seconds as the one you would create on your own after many days of research & iterations. With this end goal in mind, we combined the power of ChatGPT with our own aggregated real-time information to create a seamless, user-friendly experience that makes trip planning a breeze,” said Rajnish Kumar, co-founder and group chief product and technology officer of Ixigo.
In the next phase, Ixigo plans to introduce events, social trends, and real-time social sharing allowing users to collaborate with friends and family for a fun and interactive trip planning experience, Kumar said.
Earlier in May, MakeMyTrip announced that it is rolling out a voice chat service powered by artificial intelligence to help users book flights and holidays.
