Use of Chatbots in travel apps

 

Artificial Intelligence has taken the whole world by storm. With so many invaluable endowments of AI, it is hard to extrapolate the immense potential of this state-of-the-art technology. Out of hundreds of applications and use cases of AI, chatbots are creating quite a stir these days. These are being used in a large number of web and mobile applications. You might have come across a website where a small chat window pops up every time you open it. That’s where you can enter your queries but not only that, it will talk to you like a human and answer to all your queries instantly. That’s what all these chatbots do.

 

As exciting as it sounds, there are now chatbots available for a wide range of applications. For instance, there are several weather reporting apps that use chatbots and many other health checkup apps have also integrated with the chatbot facility. However, the use of chatbots has shot up in travel apps quite recently. There are many travel apps that offer real-time bot interaction to the users for responding to their queries and assisting them in creating an ideal itinerary. Several travel booking apps like Kayak and Expedia are already offering bot interaction to their users via Facebook Messenger and there are many other similar apps that let you do the same. In this blog, we’ll talk about some of these travel apps that are turning the tides these days. So let’s get started!
