Summary:

Hello Hipmunk now answers questions that happen earlier in the planning process. Rather than just providing flight and accommodation options when asked about specific dates and destinations, we can give advice and recommendations and respond to questions like, “What’s the best time to go to Cancun from Chicago?”

Problem:

The average traveler runs 20 searches when planning a trip. Hello Hipmunk shrinks that process to one simple conversation. It can process tons of information from flight pricing to room availability and synthesize it instantly,' said Adam Goldstein, CEO and co-founder of Hipmunk.

Solution:

Hipmunk, an up-and-coming travel search website, has launched Hello Hipmunk, a free virtual travel agent powered by A.I. Hello Hipmunk is available on Facebook Messenger and Slack; so, it’s a travel chatbot…and it’s a whole lot more. Hello Hipmunk has two major features: Hello Email and Hello Calendar.

With Hello Email, you loop hello@hipmunk.com into your email conversations about travel and ask, in the email, something like “Hello @hipmunk, can you send us some flight options for a flight from Boston to Miami from August 8 to 15?” Hipmunk replies, in a conversational, friendly email, with flight options. It does hotel searches, too.

Hello Calendar searches your Google calendar and sends you flight, hotel, and rental car options by determining your out-of-town events and offering recommendations for your scheduled travel."
