I’m building a project in the AI traveltech space, and I keep asking myself: why hasn’t this industry applied automation and agentic systems the way others have?

Corporate travel is still a mix of booking engines, dashboards, and human agents tied together by manual workflows. It works, but it doesn’t think. The systems don’t actually “know” the traveler — they just store preferences and points.

What if instead, you had an agent that travels with you?

Would love to hear perspectives from people who’ve worked in travel, automation, or agent frameworks.
