Ixigo, India’s leading travel booking platform, has made a groundbreaking move by becoming the first Indian tech company to launch both the ChatGPT plugin and AI trip planner. This new development, called PLAN by Ixigo, is set to revolutionize how travelers plan and organize their trips.
Built on OpenAI’s ChatGPT API, PLAN by Ixigo is equipped to efficiently process and understand user preferences, providing personalized recommendations, suggestions, and itineraries. This integration of artificial intelligence enables users to receive targeted and tailored travel plans.
Ixigo’s plugin for ChatGPT also ensures that the platform remains at the forefront of innovation within the travel industry. As the first Indian travel company to introduce this conversational travel assistant, Ixigo solidifies its position as an industry frontrunner.
With PLAN by Ixigo, travelers can build comprehensive travel plans and explore verified attractions, restaurants, activities, hotels, tours, and more. Users will receive recommendations based on their current location, time, or weather conditions. Alternatively, they can choose from a range of trip themes or provide their own preferences for a customized trip plan. PLAN by Ixigo then automatically generates a detailed itinerary for the selected destination and theme, integrating real-time weather and AQI updates. Additionally, the platform’s conversational interface allows users to customize their itineraries in real-time, ensuring a seamless and personalized trip planning experience.
Rajnish Kumar, Co-founder and Group CPTO of Ixigo, explained, Our ultimate goal is to create the perfect trip planning app—one that can generate an itinerary for users within seconds, mirroring what they would have spent days researching and crafting themselves. By combining the power of ChatGPT with our extensive real-time information, we have created a user-friendly platform that simplifies trip planning. We are proud to be the first Indian tech company with an official plugin on ChatGPT.
PLAN by Ixigo also combines the power of an LLM (language model) with the platform’s own data and APIs, enabling it to answer complex queries such as Can you recommend summer destinations with abundant greenery and minimal pollution, considering that I enjoyed my trip to Shimla last summer and I am currently residing in Kolkata? In the future, Ixigo plans to introduce event information, social trends, and real-time social sharing, allowing users to collaborate with friends and family for an interactive trip planning experience.
With this innovative integration of AI and travel data, PLAN by Ixigo is set to transform how travelers conceptualize, organize, and prioritize their trips. By providing personalized recommendations and itineraries, Ixigo empowers users to plan their perfect getaways efficiently and effortlessly.
