Riyadh – Almosafer, a subsidiary of Seera Group Holding, has become the first travel company in Saudi Arabia that tests the integration of ChatGPT to enhance the booking experience by providing smarter and more tailored responses to customer queries.

During the pilot phase, the integrated platform will be available to a limited number of customers, who will have assistance with their flight search and planning their trip post booking besides getting more information about their destination of choice, according to a press release.

Almosafer noted that its virtual travel advisor comes under the name Khalid.

CEO of Almosafer, Muzzammil Ahussain, said: “At Almosafer, we continue to lead the industry with our digital-first approach. The testing of ChatGPT reflects our commitment to constantly enhance our digital platforms and maintain
