Travel Assistant

​

Business Problem

• Customers ask about holiday packages, visa requirements, hotels, and flights at all hours — staff can’t be available around the clock to answer.
• The same questions (destinations, pricing, visa rules) get repeated to every new customer, wasting staff time that could go toward closing bookings.
• Different customer types — couples, families, corporate groups — need different guidance, which is hard for different staff members to give consistently.
• Sales enquiries, complaints, and support requests all land in the same inbox with no automatic routing, so an urgent complaint can sit behind routine questions.
• Escalating to a human today means someone has to notice the message and manually gather the customer’s details before handing off.

​

Solution

• An AI Agent trained on the business’s own knowledge (company info, destinations, pricing, FAQs) answers customer questions instantly, in the business’s own voice — not a generic chatbot answer.
• A Prompt Message controls the AI’s tone, response length, and boundaries, so it never invents prices, policies, or facts it doesn’t actually have.
• Intent Detection reads each incoming message and automatically routes it — handing off to a human, assigning it to the right team, or answering from a different, more focused knowledge base — instead of every message going through the same generic AI answer.

​

Business Benefits

• No coding required to build the assistant.
• Supports multiple knowledge sources at once (FAQs, files, URLs, sheets, APIs).
• Understands natural language, not just fixed keywords.
• Reduces manual customer support workload.
• Provides instant responses, any time of day.
• Delivers consistent answers instead of depending on whichever agent is online.
• Can be adapted to virtually any industry — only the training content and intents change.
• Easy to maintain and update — refresh a file, sheet, or FAQ instead of rebuilding a flow.

Workflow Diagram

​

Prerequisites

• Read AI Agent first to understand how the whole feature works — this guide only covers how the pieces combine for a real business, not the feature itself.
• A defined business profile to train on — company info, services, destinations, pricing, and policies (see the TravelEase Holidays profile used throughout this guide, below).
• A decision on tone and boundaries for the Prompt Message — how long responses should be, what the AI should never say, and when it should hand off to a human.
• Whichever training source you’ll use ready to go — a written FAQ list, a website URL, a brochure/PDF, a Google Sheet, or an API endpoint. Only one source is active per campaign at a time (see AI Knowledge Base for the mutual-exclusion rules).
• A list of intents worth detecting (e.g. “Talk to Human”, “Sales Enquiry”) and which flow or team each one should route to.

​

Implementation Guide

​

Step 1 — Enable the AI Agent and attach a Training Campaign

• Open Chatbot Manager → AI Agent and select (or create) the TravelEase Holidays AI Training Campaign.

​

Step 2 — Write the Prompt Message

• For a fast-moving WhatsApp conversation, a short numbered rule set works well:

2. Never write more than 40 words in a single response.
3. Never use bullet points, numbered lists, or long explanations unless the user explicitly asks for them.
4. Answer only the customer's current question. Do not provide additional information that wasn't requested.
5. End your response with ONE relevant follow-up question whenever appropriate.
6. Use simple, conversational language.
7. Do not repeat information.
8. Do not greet the customer in every message.

• For a business that needs a strict role, tone, and full set of boundaries defined at once, a much longer template covers every dimension — role, personality, communication style, tone, response format, knowledge usage, conversation behavior, restrictions, escalation rules, and safety, ending with the AI’s overall goal.

​

Step 3 — Build the AI Training Campaign

• Add direct question/answer pairs under Content or FAQ — e.g. “Do you provide visa assistance?”, “Can I customize my trip?”, “Which destinations are best for honeymoon?”.

• Instead of FAQs, choose one other source depending on how the data changes:
  • URL Training — the AI learns directly from the company website; refresh training whenever the website content changes.
  • File Training — upload a PDF, DOCX, catalog, or brochure (e.g. TravelEase’s package brochure) and the AI reads it directly.
  • Google Sheet Training — structured, frequently-updated data without editing the AI manually, e.g.:

    Destination	Price	Days
    Bali	₹80,000	5
    Dubai	₹95,000	6

  • API Training — retrieves live information instead of static text: flight status, hotel availability, package availability, currency rates.

Customer message
   → AI Agent receives it
   → Searches the AI Training Campaign
   → Reads the Prompt Message
   → Searches FAQs
   → Searches Files
   → Searches URL content
   → Searches Google Sheet
   → Calls API (if configured)
   → Generates response
   → Replies to customer

​

Step 4 — Route “Talk to Human” requests with Bot Flow Trigger

• Create an intent named Talk to Human matching phrases like “I want to talk to a human”, “Connect me with an agent”, “I need customer support”, “Can I speak with someone?”.
• Enable Bot Flow Trigger, pointed at a Human Support Keyword Replies flow that asks the customer to pick Sales, Technical Support, Billing, or General Enquiry, then collects Name, Phone Number, Email, and Query before handing off.

​

Step 5 — Route sales/complaint messages with Agent Assignment

• Create an intent named Sales Enquiry matching “I want to buy”, “I need pricing”, “Send me a quotation”, “Product cost”, with Agent Assignment enabled, assigned to the Sales team.

• Repeat the same pattern for other intents and teams:

  Intent	Assigned team
  Sales Enquiry	Sales
  Complaint	Customer Care
  Technical Issue	Technical Support

​

Step 6 — Point specific topics at a dedicated campaign with AI-Driven Responses

• Create an intent named Travel Questions matching “Holiday Packages”, “Visa”, “Hotels”, “Flights”, “Destinations”, with AI-Driven Responses enabled and pointed at the Travel Assistant campaign.

• The same pattern lets other departments run their own dedicated campaign:

  Intent	Dedicated training campaign	Contains
  Travel Questions	Travel Assistant	Holiday packages, visa, hotels, flights, destinations
  Healthcare	Hospital Assistant	Doctors, departments, appointments, medical services
  Real Estate	Property Assistant	Property listings, pricing, amenities, site visits
  Education	School Assistant	Admissions, courses, fees, timings, faculty information
  E-Commerce	Shopping Assistant	Products, inventory, orders, shipping, returns
