ixigo, India’s leading travel booking platform, has introduced PLAN by ixigo, an intelligent trip planner powered by OpenAI’s ChatGPT API. With this innovative solution, ixigo becomes the first Indian travel company to leverage ChatGPT and solidifies its position as a pioneer in the industry.
PLAN by ixigo combines the capabilities of ChatGPT and comprehensive travel data to revolutionize the way travelers conceptualize and organize their trips. The platform offers personalized recommendations, suggestions, and itineraries based on user preferences.
Using PLAN, travelers can create stunning travel plans and explore verified attractions, restaurants, activities, hotels, tours, and more. The system provides destination recommendations based on the user’s current location, time, or weather conditions. Alternatively, users can choose from various trip themes or customize their own preferences for a tailored trip plan. PLAN automatically tags, maps, and generates detailed itineraries, integrating weather and air quality updates. Its conversational user interface allows real-time customization, enabling users to co-create their perfect trip plans.
Rajnish Kumar, Co-founder and Group CPTO of ixigo, expressed his excitement about the new offering, stating, “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. We are also proud to become the first Indian tech company to have an official plugin on ChatGPT.”
In the future, ixigo plans to enhance PLAN by introducing events, social trends, and real-time social sharing features. This will enable users to collaborate with friends and family, adding a fun and interactive element to the trip planning experience.
