I tried this out and it really seemed to struggle. I guess it works well for, say, a flight and hotel to New York or something, but I asked specifically about a flotilla sailing holiday in Greece, and it got stuck in a loop on several occasions during the process. The latest is Adeva saying to me "Hey, before I proceed with building your plans, I just want to make sure I've got the correct information from you. Please confirm so I can get started! Please confirm so I can get started!", I click on the "Confirm" button and it just goes back to the same question and same confirm button on a never-ending loop. I see the potential, though, and I'm sure it will only get better. I'd be interested to know whether you plan to offer an affiliate scheme. I run https://www.aluxurytravelblog.com which is just coming for it's 20th year, and I'd be keen to hear how this might work in the luxury industry where time is money and this has the potential to make the process quick and seamless when it works well. 🙂

I get this same loop happening even when enquiring about just a flight... I would post a screenshot but am not sure I can here...

@paulhjohnson Hi Paul — thanks for sharing, and you're right it only gets better from here. Apologies if you encountered those issues, but my opinion is that it went in that loop because we're still working on the very niche destinations (Which fall into luxury) — would appreciate any other feedback you have! Thanks :)

Huge congrats to the Smartrip AI team on today's launch! I love how Adeva, your AI agent, is making luxury travel experiences accessible to all. Quick question: How does Adeva handle last-minute flight changes or cancellations - is there an instant support feature for those inevitable travel hiccups?
Luigi Rivolta
@ihuzaifashoukat Yes there is during the post-booking support — since she knows all your holiday details already, with our airline partners she's able to access the inventory, terms etc to make a change and let you know what you as the traveller need to do (e.g pay a fee etc)

This sounds like a game-changer for travel! An AI agent providing planning, booking, and post-booking support to create a luxury experience accessible to everyone is a brilliant idea.
Edoardo Donà dalle Rose
@mxnncreates Thank you! 😊 That’s exactly our goal – making seamless, luxury-like travel experiences accessible to everyone.

The idea of travel assistance powered by AI seems fantastic. I like how this adds a personal touch to vacation preparation. It adds a distinctive touch to every journey.
Edoardo Donà dalle Rose
@malka_parveen Thank you! 😊 We’re working hard to make it as personalized as possible for every user (lots of updates coming soon). Any feedback is incredibly valuable to us!

This is cool, but why won't Perplexity build this natively?
Luigi Rivolta
@chrismessina They could, but it would still be focused on the planning stage (aka search engine wrapped in an llm) so not covering the full travel experience

Looks cool! Lots of great ideas. Just a few thoughts: - I like the widget integration as chat is not always the easiest way to provide information. I think you could go one step further and provide "quick replies" in the chat. For example, why not suggest some airlines (and eventually, it could learn the user preferences) instead of requiring the user to say "I want to fly with X" - It's not clear to me how it works if you don't like the 3 suggestions. Personally, I'm quite micro and I'd like to have a breakdown of all the other options. For example Google flights does it easily as you can quickly see cheapest price and get an idea of price difference for direct vs layovers, and with the flexible date grid.

@sdubois Thanks for sharing — we are indeed working on adding quick replies in the chat to make it easier to interact, so that you don't have to reply each time. In regards to the plans you can edit them however you want. Both manually and with the help of Adeva: Meaning you can either see all the other flights/Hotels available (like google flights) or ask Adeva in the small chat to make edits based on what you're looking for. Thanks!
