AI in the Travel Industry

AI in Travel: How the Industry is Transforming with Intelligent Technology The travel sector has long been at the forefront of AI adoption, with airlines, hotels, and cruise lines leveraging advanced analytics for decades to optimize pricing and operations. Now, as artificial intelligence evolves—particularly with the rise of generative AI—the industry is entering a new era of smarter automation, hyper-personalization, and seamless customer experiences. “AI and generative AI have emerged as truly disruptive forces,” says Kartikey Kaushal, Senior Analyst at Everest Group. “They’re reshaping how travel businesses operate, compete, and serve customers.” According to Everest Group, AI adoption in travel is growing at 14-16% annually, driven by demand for efficiency and enhanced customer engagement. But as adoption accelerates, the industry must balance automation with the human touch that travelers still value. 10 Key AI Use Cases in Travel & Tourism 1. Dynamic Pricing Optimization Travel companies pioneered AI-driven dynamic pricing, adjusting fares based on demand, competitor rates, weather, and events. Now, AI takes it further with hyper-personalized pricing—tracking user behavior (like repeated searches) to offer tailored deals. 2. Customer Sentiment Analysis AI evaluates traveler emotions through voice tone, reviews, and social media, enabling real-time adjustments. Hotels and airlines use sentiment tracking to improve service before complaints escalate. 3. Automated Office Tasks Travel agencies use generative AI (like ChatGPT) to draft emails, marketing content, and customer onboarding materials, freeing staff for high-value interactions. 4. Self-Service & Customer Empowerment AI-powered chatbots, itinerary builders, and booking tools let travelers plan trips independently. Some even bring AI-generated plans to agents for refinement—blending automation with human expertise. 5. Operational Efficiency & Asset Management Airlines and cruise lines deploy AI for:✔ Predictive maintenance (reducing downtime)✔ Route optimization (cutting fuel costs)✔ Staff scheduling (improving productivity) 6. AI-Powered Summarization Booking platforms use generative AI to summarize hotel reviews, local attractions, and FAQs—delivering concise, personalized travel insights. 7. Frictionless Travel Experiences From contactless hotel check-ins to AI-driven real-time recommendations (restaurants, shows, transport), AI minimizes hassles and enhances convenience. 8. AI Agents for Problem-Solving Agentic AI autonomously resolves disruptions—like rebooking flights, rerouting luggage, and updating hotels—without human intervention. 9. Enhanced Personalization Without “Creepiness” AI tailors recommendations based on past behavior but must avoid overstepping. The challenge? “A customer segment of one”—balancing customization with privacy. 10. Risk & Compliance Management AI helps navigate data privacy laws (GDPR, CCPA) and detects fraud, but companies must assign clear accountability for AI-driven decisions. Challenges in AI Adoption for Travel The Future: AI + Human Collaboration The most successful travel companies will blend AI efficiency with human empathy, ensuring technology enhances—not replaces—the art of travel. “The goal isn’t full automation,” says McKinsey’s Alex Cosmas. “It’s using AI to make every journey smoother, smarter, and more personal.” As AI evolves, so will its role in travel—ushering in an era where smarter algorithms and human expertise work together to create unforgettable experiences. What’s Next? The journey has just begun.

Second Wave of AI Agents
24Apr

Second Wave of AI Agents

The “second wave” of AI agents refers to the evolution of AI beyond simple chatbots and into more sophisticated, autonomous systems that can plan, execute, and deliver results independently, often leveraging large language models (LLMs). These agents are characterized by their ability to interact with other applications, interpret the screen, fill out forms, and coordinate with other AI systems to achieve a desired outcome. They are also seen as a significant step beyond the first wave of AI, which primarily focused on predictive models and statistical learning.  Key Characteristics of the Second Wave of AI Agents: Examples and Applications: In 2023 Bill Gates prophesized AI Agents would be here in 5 years. His timing was off. But not his prediction. The Future of Computing: Your AI Agent, Your Digital Sidekick Imagine this: No more juggling apps. No more digging through menus. No more searching for a document or a spreadsheet. Just tell your device—in plain English—what you need, and it handles the rest. Whether it’s planning a tour, managing your schedule, or helping with work, your AI assistant will understand you personally, adapting to your life based on what you choose to share. This isn’t science fiction. Today, everyone online has access to an AI-powered personal assistant far more advanced than anything available in 2023. Meet the Agent: The Next Era of Computing This next-generation software—called an agent—responds to natural language and accomplishes tasks using deep knowledge of you and your needs. Bill Gates first wrote about agents in his 1995 book The Road Ahead, but only now, with recent AI breakthroughs, have they become truly possible. Agents won’t just change how we interact with technology. They’ll reshape the entire software industry, marking the biggest shift in computing since we moved from command lines to touchscreens. Consider Salesforce’s AgentForce. A platform driven by automated AI agents that can be trained to do virtually anything. Freeing staff up from mundane data entry and administrative work to really set them loose. Marketers can once again create content, but with the insights provided by AI. Sales teams can close deals, but with the lead rating details provided by AI. Developers can devote more time to writing code but letting AI do the repetitive pieces that take time away from awe inspiring development. Why This Changes Everything We’re on the brink of a revolution—one where technology doesn’t just respond to commands but anticipates your needs and acts on your behalf. The age of the AI agent is here, and it’s going to redefine how we live and work.

Alaska Inspires

Alaska Airlines Launches Guest-Facing Generative AI Tool, Alaska Inspires Alaska Airlines has become the first airline to introduce a guest-facing Generative AI (GenAI) tool with the launch of Alaska Inspires. Designed to simplify travel planning, this AI-powered assistant helps guests discover destinations more efficiently. “We heard from our guests that planning a trip to a new destination can take up to 40 hours,” says Bernadette Berger, Director of Innovation at Alaska Airlines. “Much of that time is spent comparing destinations, prices, travel times, and reading reviews. We built a Natural Language Search tool to let guests explore travel options using their own words, preferred language, or voice.” With Alaska Inspires, travelers can ask questions like, “Where can I go in Europe for under 80,000 miles?” or “Where can I go skiing within four hours?” Powered by OpenAI, the tool provides highly personalized responses and recommends up to four destinations, explaining why each was selected. This initiative is part of Alaska Airlines’ broader effort to develop a suite of GenAI tools that make discovering, shopping, and booking travel faster and more intuitive. Enhancing the Day-of-Travel Experience with AI Beyond trip planning, Alaska Airlines is leveraging GenAI to provide real-time, personalized travel insights. Berger highlights the growing role of AI in understanding guest preferences and delivering information in their preferred format. “Using voice as an interface—especially in a guest’s preferred language—is ideal for quick questions or simple tasks,” she explains. “How many minutes until I board?” or “Check me in for my flight” are prime examples of how voice-enabled GenAI can enhance the customer experience. Additionally, translating live announcements and direct messages into a traveler’s native language helps improve clarity and engagement. Bridging the Gap Between Data and Human Understanding Airlines operate in a world of complex policies, acronyms, and industry jargon. GenAI helps bridge this gap by translating raw operational data into clear, guest-friendly language. “GenAI excels at ingesting rules, policies, and operational data while generating responses that explain situations in a brand-aligned, easy-to-understand way,” Berger says. Currently, Alaska Airlines uses GenAI to assist customer service agents in quickly answering policy-related questions and responding to guest inquiries with speed and care. Balancing Innovation with Privacy and Quality While the opportunities with GenAI are vast, Berger acknowledges the challenges of implementing AI responsibly. “Building AI-powered tools is fast, but it requires time for model training, security, and rigorous user testing,” she notes. Ensuring privacy and maintaining high-quality outputs remain top priorities. Advice for the Industry: Experiment, Learn, and Scale For airlines, airports, and industry stakeholders exploring GenAI, Berger offers practical advice: focus on reducing the cost of testing. “If your AI roadmap is filled with expensive, time-consuming trials, your team will get stuck in hypotheticals,” she warns. “Build fast, low-cost experiments to validate the technology, use case, inputs, and outputs. Identify failures quickly and move on, then scale what works. This approach helps separate marketing hype from real business value and, most importantly, delivers solutions that truly enhance the customer experience.” With Alaska Inspires and a growing suite of AI-driven innovations, Alaska Airlines is leading the way in making travel planning and the day-of-travel experience more seamless and personalized.

Why Salesforce is the Key to Cloud Transformation

Cloud transformation is essential for businesses aiming to scale, boost efficiency, and enhance customer experiences. As a leading cloud platform, Salesforce plays a pivotal role in this transition—connecting cloud ecosystems, optimizing operations, and ensuring seamless customer interactions. But to unlock its full potential, organizations need the right Salesforce experts to drive the transformation successfully. The Role of Salesforce in Cloud Transformation As a cloud-native platform, Salesforce provides automation, AI-driven insights, and deep integration across business functions. It acts as the central hub, linking sales, marketing, customer service, and back-end operations. During cloud migration, Salesforce ensures:✅ Customer data remains accessible and secure✅ Workflows stay optimized for efficiency✅ AI-powered insights drive smarter decision-making Without experienced Salesforce professionals, businesses risk data silos, inefficient processes, and failed integrations—leading to costly delays and operational setbacks. Challenges in Hiring Salesforce Experts 1. Talent Shortages & High Demand The growing reliance on Salesforce has created a ultra-competitive hiring landscape. Roles like Salesforce Developers, Architects, and Administrators are in high demand, making it challenging for companies to attract and retain top talent. 2. The Need for More Than Just Technical Skills Many organizations focus solely on coding expertise, but cloud transformation demands professionals who understand business processes, data architecture, and integration strategies. A developer who codes without considering business goals may create solutions that don’t align with the organization’s needs. 3. Integration Complexities Salesforce rarely operates in isolation—it must integrate with ERP systems, marketing automation tools, and other cloud platforms. Poorly planned integrations can lead to inefficiencies and disrupt transformation efforts, underscoring the need for specialists who can manage system connectivity effectively. Strategies for Hiring the Right Salesforce Experts 1. Clearly Define Roles & Responsibilities Before hiring, identify the specific expertise required. For example: 2. Prioritize Certifications & Hands-On Experience Look for candidates with certifications like: Additionally, hands-on experience with cloud integrations, API development, and data migration is crucial for success. 3. Assess Problem-Solving Abilities Cloud transformation is complex, often presenting unexpected challenges. A structured hiring process should include scenario-based questions and technical assessments to evaluate candidates’ ability to handle real-world Salesforce challenges. 4. Explore Contract & Full-Time Hiring Models Given the talent shortage, companies may need a mix of contract and full-time hires: 5. Align Hiring with Cloud Strategy Salesforce experts must collaborate with cloud engineers and IT teams to ensure seamless integration. When hiring, prioritize candidates who understand system architecture and can align Salesforce capabilities with long-term business goals. Building a Strong Salesforce Team for Cloud Transformation Hiring the right Salesforce experts is critical for a smooth and effective cloud transformation. By defining roles, prioritizing experience, and assessing real-world skills, businesses can build teams that drive long-term success. Salesforce managed services is an alternative to the talent shortage. If your organization is looking to strengthen its Salesforce talent strategy, partnering with experts like Tectonic can bridge hiring gaps. Tectonic delivers top-tier Salesforce talent to power your digital transformation.

The Four Stages of Agentic AI Maturity Salesforce’s model defines four progressive stages of AI agent sophistication: 1️⃣ Chatbots & Co-Pilots (Stage 0 → 1) 2️⃣ Information Retrieval Agents (Stage 1 → 2) 3️⃣ Simple Orchestration (Single Domain) → Complex Orchestration (Multiple Domains) (Stage 2 → 3) 4️⃣ Multi-Agent Orchestration (Stage 3 → 4) Why This Model Matters Many businesses deploy AI quickly but struggle to scale due to:🔹 Unclear governance🔹 Data silos🔹 Security concerns🔹 Lack of human-AI collaboration strategies Shibani Ahuja, SVP of Enterprise IT Strategy at Salesforce, emphasizes: “Scaling AI effectively requires a phased approach. This framework helps organizations progress toward higher maturity—balancing innovation with security and operational readiness.” Key Recommendations for Advancement ✅ Start with high-impact use cases where chatbots fall short.✅ Build governance early—define testing, security, and accountability.✅ Prepare data ecosystems for AI interoperability.✅ Foster human-AI collaboration—agents should augment, not replace, teams. The Future: AI That Works Like a Well-Oiled Team The ultimate vision? AI agents that: Salesforce’s model provides the playbook to get there—helping businesses move from experimentation to enterprise-wide AI transformation. Next Step: Assess where your organization stands—and start climbing the maturity ladder. Contact Tectonic today.
