MakeMyTrip launches multilingual GenAI Trip Planning Assistant, making travel booking conversational and inclusive
MakeMyTrip has launched a GenAI-enabled Trip Planning Assistant, that will assist users at every stage of travel planning, from discovery to fulfilment, and beyond, the company said on Thursday. The company said users would find conversational assistance through their entire journey, from destination-discovery, shopping, in-trip, and post-sales scenarios. MakeMyTrip said the new GenAI Trip Planning Assistant is a notable upgrade to the existing AI agent, Myra, and will make the experience 'seamless' and 'conversational', enabling travellers to interact via voice and text. The company said this will ensure that users across India who have previously been unable to book due to discomfort with the English language, will now be able to do so. The Beta version of Myra is now live in English and Hindi, and the company plans to expand this to multiple Indian languages. MakeMyTrip said the GenAI Trip Planning Assistant, Myra, is built on a network of specialised AI agents across all major travel categories, flights, accommodation, holidays, ground transport, visas, and forex. It supports multimodal input (text, voice, image, video), continuous back-and-forth dialogue, itinerary edits, and post-sales support—all within the same interface. Users can ask complex and open-ended queries in the realm of travel in Hindi or English like "Where can I go in August for a relaxing holiday with my kids? Or "I want to go to south India to cover Madurai, Rameswaram, Kovalam, Kodaikanal. Can you suggest me the best route? I don't want to travel via flight' and receive personalised responses based on real-time availability, pricing, and relevance. The company said multiple AI platforms globally stop at suggestions, but Myra is taking a course that hasn't been attempted before by bridging the gap between inspiration and actual booking, letting users move from query to confirmed booking in one conversational journey built on voice end-to-end. Rajesh Magow, Co-Founder and Group CEO, MakeMyTrip said by enabling access initially in Hindi, and expanding to multiple Indian languages soon, this launch has the potential to solve for the 'Bharat' heartland, reaching the deepest corners, and bringing intelligent travel booking to those who've long been underserved by digital platforms. "It brings together the full strength of our platform, including customer preferences data, supply, user-generated content, personalization, and real-time intelligence, to power the next era of travel: connected journeys that intuitively adapt to each traveller's needs, from start to finish," he added. Sanjay Mohan, group CTO at MakeMyTrip said the company's in-house team has developed custom language models and layered them with planning, scheduling, and verification systems that work in sync and respond in real time. "The result is a multi-agent AI framework that collaborates across categories to deliver a seamless experience. The system is currently in beta, allowing us to learn from real interactions and continue strengthening it,' he added. In 2023, MakeMyTrip became one of the first travel platforms to integrate GenAI into its core booking experience. This early investment in AI builds on a broader track record of using technology to solve real-world traveller challenges. Over the years, the platform has introduced features such as Fare Lock, Zero Cancellation, voice-led customer support, and, recently, predictive tools for train bookings. The company said the next phase of development will introduce 'richer' semantic search capabilities, AI-driven use cases on images & videos, enabling users to move beyond structured filters and interact through more abstract, intent-led queries.

Rajesh Magow, Co-Founder and Group CEO of MakeMyTrip, said the company is expanding digital access to a wider user base by enabling Hindi and other Indian languages. He added that the system integrates various layers of data, including user preferences and supply-side inventory, to create a seamless booking experience. Sanjay Mohan, Group CTO of MakeMyTrip, said the new system is built using a network of specialised AI agents and custom language models developed in-house. He described the framework as capable of working across categories in real time, allowing for interaction and coordination between different service verticals within a single session. MakeMyTrip first incorporated GenAI features into its core platform in 2023. The latest update is part of its broader AI integration strategy, which includes tools such as predictive train booking, voice-based customer support, and price protection features. The company plans to expand the assistant's capabilities to include semantic search and AI-powered interaction with image and video content in future updates.
