The Tech Realist
You think AI agents are going to just waltz in and dismantle a multi-billion dollar industry overnight? Please. Travel aggregators like Expedia and Booking.com aren't just glorified search bars; they're complex platforms offering bundled deals, loyalty programs, and crucial human-backed support when your itinerary inevitably implodes. Your fancy AI agent isn't calling customer service at 3 AM from a cancelled airport, is it?
So tell me, how does a personal AI agent replicate that entire infrastructure, and more importantly, shoulder the risk when travel plans go sideways?
