Revolution in Travel: ixigo's New AI App Lets You Chat to Plan Trips

Imagine planning your dream vacation through casual chit-chat with an intelligent companion. That's the promise of ixigo's newly launched AI-powered travel app, introduced at their flagship 'ixigo Next' event in New Delhi. At the heart is Tara, a sophisticated multimodal AI assistant. Users can now book flights, hotels, and crafts by simply talking— in English, Hindi, or a mix—using voice, text, or gestures. 'This is travel planning reimagined,' said Rajnish Kumar, ixigo's Co-founder and Group Co-CEO. Kumar revealed that the app was engineered as an AI-native platform from scratch. No superficial add-ons here; every feature revolves around intelligent assistance that anticipates needs across the entire travel lifecycle. 'Future travel will rely on AI agents that truly understand and assist continuously,' he predicted. Ixigo is already gearing up for additional regional language support to make it accessible nationwide. Kumar dismissed fears of job losses, arguing AI handles mundane work while spawning innovative roles. 'History shows tech creates more opportunities than it takes away,' he asserted. Responding to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's advice against foreign travel for a year, Kumar advocated prudence. 'These decisions deserve our full support amid current challenges.' By prioritizing user frustrations and deploying cutting-edge solutions, ixigo is not just keeping pace with AI trends—it's defining them, making travel effortless and intuitive for millions.
