AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge

Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate outputs for the stated task modules. Use deterministic code for arithmetic, schema validation, hard constraints and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. Final booking, payment release and supplier commitments remain human. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.

What your team sees

Primary screens: Trip brief and traveller preferences, Editable itinerary and booking preview, Client proof and delivery. Use a thumbnail gallery for trips, a large central planning canvas, and a right-hand panel for chat, supplier options and constraints. Let users compare itinerary versions side by side. Display draft, changes requested and approved states. Provide a client preview link with comments anchored to the relevant leg, hotel or activity. Make the task-specific outcome coordinator-approved itineraries, bookings and expense-ready documents visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.

Accounts and administration

Trip ownership, traveller records, supplier accounts, client comments, approval states, payment limits, refund rules, download history and a rights record for supplied material. Add organization access boundaries, named reviewers, usage caps, data retention controls, export logs and explicit approval for external actions.

Integrations and data access

Traveller-owned preference records, authorized supplier inventory and permitted content sources. Cloud document storage, calendar import/export and expense destinations. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct booking. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.

We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

1. 1

   Scoping call

   Monthly

   We host, monitor and improve it for a fixed monthly fee, or hand it over to your team. How the retainer works.

Why we start with an MVP

An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.

1. Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will travel agencies, tour operators and event travel coordinators planning and booking trips for clients and groups use it to solve "trip planning, booking, receipts and shared itineraries sit in separate tools, so coordinators re-enter the same trip details and travellers cannot adjust plans in one place"?
2. Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
3. Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted itineraries per coordinator hour and corrections after booking approval.
4. Measure, then decide. Track accepted itineraries per coordinator hour and corrections after booking approval; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.

MVP scope for this solution. Pilot scope: One supplier connection set and one currency; final booking, payment release and supplier commitments remain human. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first two task modules: accept trip requests in conversational chat; suggest destinations, activities, flights and hotels from stated preferences. Support the remaining modules with operator review: generate detailed day-by-day itineraries; adjust plans in real time through chat; search flights and hotels, separately or combined in one prompt. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.

After the MVP. Once paid pilots prove usefulness, automate repeatable reviewed steps and add one verified supplier integration. Expand supported inputs and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around coordinator-approved itineraries, bookings and expense-ready documents. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One supplier connection set and one currency; final booking, payment release and supplier commitments remain human.

What the build depends on. Trip upload and preview, asynchronous search and booking jobs, editable version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity booking requires supplier confirmation and payment controls. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One supplier connection set and one currency; final booking, payment release and supplier commitments remain human.

A planning range to start the conversation, not a quote. You pay per phase, so you can stop after the MVP.

Selling it to your own clients: the go-to-market playbook

Pricing to test

Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined trip package. Offer a monthly production allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex group, event or multi-city travel separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded coordinator-approved itineraries, bookings and expense-ready documents. Recurring fees must specify volume, review depth and integration support. For exchanges, test a disclosed coordination or successful-service fee rather than holding customer funds. Reprice only after measuring real delivery labor; platform-build cost is separate from a commercial pilot fee.

Message to test

Reduce planning and re-booking effort while keeping one owned record of each trip. Demonstrate a concrete coordinator-approved itineraries, bookings and expense-ready documents using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.

Where to find buyers

Travel agencies, tour operators and event travel coordinators professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant trade or practitioner events.

Lead magnet

A reviewed sample coordinator-approved itineraries, bookings and expense-ready documents from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of accepted itineraries per coordinator hour and corrections after booking approval and no promised savings.

The first 30 days

1. Week 1: interview five travel agencies, tour operators and event travel coordinators planning and booking trips for clients and groups and inspect a recent example of trip planning, booking, receipts and shared itineraries sitting in separate tools.
2. Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the stated task modules.
3. Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
4. Week 4: measure accepted itineraries per coordinator hour and corrections after booking approval, reviewer effort and repeat-purchase interest. This is a demand-validation plan, not a thirty-day full-product delivery promise.

Paid pilot

Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted itineraries per coordinator hour and corrections after booking approval. Continue only if the buyer accepts the actual output, the intended job outcome improves without unacceptable errors, and measured delivery cost fits willingness to pay. Revise or stop if access is unavailable, qualified review cannot be provided, or apparent savings disappear after corrections and support. Use held-out cases when comparing model quality; use a properly reviewed comparison design before making causal claims. Record missing cases and negative results alongside successful outputs.

Success metrics

Accepted itineraries per coordinator hour and corrections after booking approval; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.

Retention and expansion

Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs coordinator-approved itineraries, bookings and expense-ready documents. Retain permissioned settings and reviewed examples, report realized value honestly, and sell increased volume or adjacent approved workflows only after contribution margin and quality remain acceptable.

Why clients would pick it

A reusable library of approved itineraries, supplier rules and review examples, together with reliable delivery for a narrow travel niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for travel agencies, tour operators and event travel coordinators planning and booking trips for clients and groups. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.

Alternatives and positioning

Swifty, Wonderplan.ai 2.0, Mindtrip and KAYAK.ai Beta. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on accepted itineraries per coordinator hour and corrections after booking approval. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.

Main delivery costs

Supplier search and booking calls, payment processing, storage, reviewer hours, client revision rounds and licensed source content. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of coordinator-approved itineraries, bookings and expense-ready documents. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.

Preserve traveller preferences, source attribution, price accuracy and usage permissions. Coordinators approve substantive changes and booking scope. One supplier connection set and one currency; final booking, payment release and supplier commitments remain human. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
