We are thrilled to announce our collaboration with Amazon Developer, driving the next chapter of innovation in travel. eDreams ODIGEO, the world's largest travel subscription platform, is coming to Alexa+. Customers will be able to search for and book flights, hotels and car rentals simply by using their voice. For us, voice search becomes another channel through which to reach travellers, helping our subscription model keep growing towards our goal of 13 million subscribers by March 2030. As our CTO, Carsten Bernhard, puts it: "Every major technological shift in history has made travel bigger and easier to discover, book and enjoy. Conversational AI is the latest of these waves, and a powerful accelerator for our business. Not long ago, planning a trip meant an evening lost across dozens of tabs. The next generation of travellers will never know that happened." Want to know more? Hit play and discover all the details! 👇🎬 https://lnkd.in/e4FhB286

Most teams chase a voice agent that sounds flawless. eDreams ODIGEO found the opposite worked better. Carsten Bernhard, CTO of eDreams, joined our AI Innovator Series to share a result that surprised his own team: their Spanish-speaking agent performs best precisely because it hesitates, adds words, and sounds a little unpolished. Those small imperfections read as human, and customers respond to them. It is a useful reminder for anyone designing conversational AI. The goal is to build something people want to talk to, which is a different target than a machine reading a polished script. Watch the full conversation for how eDreams measures and rolls out these experiences. 🎬 Watch the full episode: https://amzn.to/4s0CTHd 🎙️Emerson Sklar #AI #TravelTech
