Who we work with in travel
Travel is a quoting business before it is a booking business: most revenue still starts as a free-text request that a human turns into an offer. That is exactly the step AI handles well when it is grounded in your own inventory and policies — and exactly where we have shipped: FlyFrom turns one traveller request into offers from 100+ verified agencies, PuzzleTrip recommends experiences across seven booking verticals, and Moby answers hotel and rental guests in 30+ languages.
- Travel agencies and tour operators drowning in email and WhatsApp quote requests
- Online travel startups launching a marketplace or multi-service booking app
- Rental companies (cars, yachts, villas) moving to real-time availability and payments
- DMCs and hospitality groups that want an assistant answering guests 24/7 in their language

What AI for travel costs in 2026
A grounded trip-request assistant on your website and WhatsApp runs $4k–$8k in 3–5 weeks and typically $150–$400 a month in model usage. Quote automation that reads supplier rates and drafts offers for approval runs $6k–$15k. Recommendation layers run $8k–$20k depending on data. Booking platforms run $15k–$50k and travel marketplaces $25k–$60k+; see travel software development and marketplace development. Every number is a written fixed quote after a free discovery call; US travel-tech agencies at $150–$250/hour typically land 2–4× higher. Pricing detail: AI chatbot cost, AI agent cost.

How an engagement runs
Discovery
A free call, then a short discovery phase: your workflows, data, constraints, and the smallest scope that proves value.
Scope & guardrails
A written proposal with architecture, compliance plan, timeline, and a fixed cost — plus what the assistant will refuse and when it hands off.
Build & evaluate
2-week sprints with a working demo at each, tested against real questions and documents from your business before launch.
Launch & iterate
Production launch with monitoring and analytics, then iteration month-to-month — or a documented handover with full IP.
FAQ
Common questions from travel companies
Which travel products have you built?
FlyFrom, a travel marketplace where one request generates offers from 100+ agencies (10,000+ requests); PuzzleTrip, an AI-powered multi-service booking app on web, iOS, and Android; MiniMondo Travel, a multilingual agency website; and Moby, a governed AI assistant used by hotels and vacation rentals.
Can an AI assistant quote trips on its own?
It can draft offers from your supplier rates and past quotes, but we recommend agent approval before anything goes to a customer. Most agencies keep approval permanently for complex itineraries and automate simple, repeatable packages after the first month.
How much does AI for a travel agency cost?
A grounded trip-request assistant runs $4k–$8k; quote automation $6k–$15k; recommendation layers $8k–$20k. Booking platforms start at $15k. Running costs are typically $150–$400 a month. All quotes are fixed and written after a free discovery call.
Do you integrate with GDS and booking APIs?
Yes — Amadeus, Duffel, Kiwi, hotel bed banks, channel managers, and payment gateways by market. Where a supplier has no API we design the manual offer step into the product instead of faking real-time availability.
