OutsideAgents creates AI assistant for travel advisors
Host agency has launched an AI-powered solution for travel advisors: Maggie, short for My Agent Genie Generative Intelligence Engine. Maggie offers advisors a number of functions: saving pages, sentences or files and adding them to a research file; managing research by organizing files and uploading PDFs; adding live interactive pages to proposals; inputting client details and preferences to generate custom itineraries that are shown on an interactive proposal page on the advisor's website; and creating and scheduling email and social media marketing campaigns. The technology behind the solution was built in-house, said OutsideAgents co-owner and co-president Chad Burt. "Whether an advisor is experienced or just starting out, Maggie's AI-driven tools help streamline an advisor's daily workflow," Burt said. According to Maggie is always learning and tailors information for advisors and their clients. "Embracing this technology doesn't only mean keeping up with trends, it means transforming the way travel advisors connect with travelers and make their journeys unforgettable," Burt said.
