Laura McQuarrie — January 28, 2017 — Tech
Consulting a travel agent on booking a trip has its advantages, but even the most seasoned in this industry would have a difficult time competing with the speed and efficiency of an artificially intelligent travel agent.
'BoltFare' is the name of one AI-powered travel agent that makes it possible for Facebook users to log into Messenger and instantly get personalized, cost-effective airfare options.
When chatting with BoltFare, one only needs to specify a place of departure, an ideal destination and a time. The bot operates as part of a "freemium" service, meaning that a user may search for and watch one desired destination at a time and receive up to three flight notifications each month. For more search results, an an unlimited airfare search plan can be purchased for $5.
