Twistr: AI travel agent for optimal prices & D2D advisor
Challenge
Airlines and online travel agents manipulate ticket prices based on online personas. Different devices, unique search habits, location, language, currency and much more impact pricing strategies. Basically, different people get different prices for the exact same ticket. Another issue left unresolved in the travel industry is that no easily accessible door-to-door travel advice is available for travelers. How safe is my flight? Will I get a free meal? Can I bring my pet along? Shall I take an Uber or the Metro upon arrival?
Solution
Using AI, fine-tuning, and analyzing millions of flights, we have developed for our French-based client an infrastructure and a custom algorithm that is capable of stripping down any ticket price of all factors that inflate the price, resulting in the best price possible no matter who you are and where you are! Using the Twistr mobile app, you can get the lowest possible price for your ticket, get valuable and quick advice on your journey covering everything from safety, meals, drinks, airline experience, transportation advice, airport assistance, and much more!
Impact
Twistr’s unique technology attracted two rounds of seed funding of over 3.5 million euros, the mobile apps were used by over 250,000 users, and it stood out as a unique offering in the travel industry that was way ahead of its time. Twistr was using AI and machine learning since 2017, way before the current AI and LLM commercial craze.
