AI corporate travel platform BizTrip AI has launched a beta version of its planning and booking agent in Slack, Microsoft Teams and iMessage, the company announced.
With the integration, travelers can message BizTrip AI within those three channels and continue the conversation and actions within those channels. For example, they can ask for flight and airfare options for an upcoming conference and see options within that same thread, or they could message to see alternatives if a flight is cancelled, according to the company. The agent applies company policies to actions within the platforms.
"Every traveler has a different way of getting work done," BizTrip AI head of product Valerie Layman said in a statement. "Some book from their desk, some from an airport gate and some in the middle of a team thread about next month’s offsite. Adding Slack, Teams and iMessage means travelers can plan and book wherever they already are, and company policy comes with them."
BizTrip AI in recent months added custom Model Context Protocol functionality enabling natural-language corporate booking in the Claude and ChatGPT AI assistants. The company said the three new channels build on that as its strategy of moving corporate travel to where employees already are communicating.
BizTrip AI launched last year and this summer reported about a dozen enterprise clints in different stages of pilot programs, and it is now signing up travel managers and travelers for the new beta with Slack, Teams and iMessage.
