In a unique collaboration, Expedia Group and OpenAI have joined forces to develop a plugin for ChatGPT, which enables users to plan and book their trips through a conversation with the model. By leveraging Expedia Group’s vast travel data repository, the plugin connects users to the best available deals, and sends them to the Expedia website to complete the purchase. This pioneering plugin is the first of its kind in the travel industry and allows ChatGPT to integrate with external tools or plugins for various use cases, including booking flights and retrieving information from a proprietary database. The primary objective of the plugin is to simplify trip planning for ChatGPT users by providing them with real-time information on flights, hotels, vacation rentals, activities, and car rentals, making it easier for them to plan their travels with ease.
