Ticket Booking Copilot Concept

Introduction

At Managed Code, we understand the hassle and time-consuming nature of searching for tickets for business trips and vacations. Our latest development concept, the Ticket Booking Copilot, aims to streamline the entire process. Imagine a system where your travel needs are effortlessly met with minimal input from you. Whether you're planning a business trip or a vacation, our Copilot is here to assist.

The Ticket Booking Copilot is designed to handle all aspects of ticket booking, including preferences, budget constraints, schedule optimization, and multi-modal travel options, allowing you to focus on what truly matters.

Discover Seamless Business Travel

One of the standout features of our Ticket Booking Copilot is its ability to manage your business travel plans efficiently without the hassle of manual searching. Imagine needing to travel from Paris to Bordeaux for a day-long business meeting. Instead of spending time browsing through various airline and train schedules, you simply inform our Copilot of your requirements. The Copilot takes over, exploring different options, comparing schedules, and selecting the best travel itinerary based on your preferences. It handles everything from booking tickets to calculating layovers and travel times.

Case Example: Business Trip from Paris to Bordeaux

You need to travel from Paris to Bordeaux for a business meeting and return the same day without an overnight stay. You provide the Copilot with your travel dates, preferred departure and return times, and any other specific preferences. The Copilot reviews various travel options, including flights and trains, checks schedules, compares customer reviews on Google Maps and travel booking services, analyzes dish descriptions, and verifies the general understanding of the travel time. It also checks for allergens and makes necessary comments. The Copilot then books the tickets, ensuring you have a seamless travel experience without having to spend time on multiple websites.

Efficient Multi-Modal Travel Planning

Our Ticket Booking Copilot excels at planning complex travel itineraries that involve multiple modes of transportation, ensuring you get the best possible combination of travel options. Whether you're combining flights and trains or managing tight layover schedules, the Copilot optimizes every aspect of your journey.

Case Example: Mixed-Mode Travel for a Client Meeting

You have a client meeting scheduled in Lyon and need to travel from Paris. You prefer to take a train for part of the journey and a flight for the other, to optimize travel time and convenience. You also want to minimize waiting times and ensure the entire trip fits within a specific time window. You provide the Copilot with your travel dates, preferred departure and return times, and any other specific preferences.

The Copilot reviews various travel options, including trains and flights, checks schedules, compares customer reviews on Google Maps and travel booking services, and ensures the entire trip is well-coordinated. It analyzes travel times, layovers, and transfers to create an optimal itinerary. The Copilot then books the tickets, ensuring you have a smooth and efficient travel experience without the need to spend time on multiple websites.

Planning Your Vacation with Ease

Our Ticket Booking Copilot can also simplify your vacation planning by managing your budget, finding the best travel dates, and booking tickets. Imagine wanting to go on a vacation but not knowing the best time to travel or how much it will cost. You can rely on our Copilot to handle all these details. Simply provide your preferred destinations, travel dates, and budget, and the Copilot will take care of the rest. It searches for the best travel deals, calculates the total cost, and finds the optimal travel dates for you.

Case Example: Budget-Friendly Vacation Planning

You want to plan a vacation but need help calculating the budget and finding the best travel dates. You inform the Copilot of your preferred destinations, potential travel dates, and budget constraints. The Copilot searches various travel websites, compares prices, and analyzes the best travel times to find the most cost-effective options. It provides you with a comprehensive travel plan, including the total budget and the best dates to travel, ensuring you get the most out of your vacation without overspending.

How It Works

Provide Your Travel Details: Begin by sharing your specific travel needs with the Copilot. Whether it's for a business trip or a vacation, include details such as destinations, dates, budget, and any other preferences.
Copilot Takes Over: Utilizing a Large Language Model (LLM), the Copilot comprehends and processes your requests. It connects with various APIs from ticket booking services, mapping services, and other essential tools to gather all necessary information. This includes:
- Ticket Booking APIs: The Copilot taps into APIs from popular travel booking platforms to explore available options, verify schedules, and secure tickets.
- Mapping Services: Through APIs from mapping services like Google Maps, the Copilot identifies travel routes, checks reviews and ratings, and ensures they meet your criteria.
- Tools and Plugins: With the power of the LLM, the Copilot uses tools and plugins to verify schedules, identify optimal travel options, and accommodate all preferences and requirements. The Semantic Kernel from Microsoft is employed to effectively manage these functionalities.
Processing with AIBase: The entire operation is driven by AIBase, our advanced platform for running intelligent agents. Within AIBase, numerous specialized agents work together to efficiently fulfill your request. These agents perform tasks such as:
- Review Analysis: Agents review customer feedback from various platforms to select the best travel options.
- Budget and Schedule Optimization: Agents compare travel options against your budget and scheduling needs.
- Logistics Coordination: Agents ensure that all aspects of your trip, including layovers and transfers, are seamlessly coordinated with travel services.
Executing Tasks with Function Calling: The Copilot employs function calling to carry out specific tasks like booking tickets, instructing travel services, and updating you on booking statuses. This guarantees that each step of the process is handled accurately and promptly.
Enjoy Your Trip: Once the bookings are complete, the Copilot continues to oversee your travel plans. It confirms all arrangements and provides updates if there are any changes. Should any issues arise, such as delays or schedule changes, the Copilot communicates with the necessary agents to resolve them.
Continuous Enhancement: The Copilot continuously learns from each interaction. By analyzing your feedback and booking history, it refines its recommendations and efficiency, ensuring an increasingly better experience over time.
