Created and settled by the online booking travel
website OneTravel, Opal is a voice-activated travel agent allowing travelers to
book flights in an easy way. It will not only help travelers to book their
flight quickly as it will interact with and guide them through the process of
booking, but also allow them to do it from a mobile phone. This company is the
first one to propose this service, and as we are more and more connected, this
app perfectly fits our society trends.
The
process is simple, the users say through their mobile device’s built-in
microphone that they want to book a flight from a
city to another city, and the app asks them the missing information such as: city of departure, destination,
departure and return dates etc. and begin the research. Thanks to the
interaction app, it is easier for the user to select all the criteria required
instead of looking for them on traditional websites. The app proposes more than
450 airlines, find the best offers available, and thanks to its advanced travel-specific
vocabulary it understands acronyms, knows the different airports of a specific
destination etc.
Travelers can book their flight
through the application, on the website or call the travel agents. Thanks to
technology development, travelers get access to information really easily and
can book flights, and make reservations quicker than before. The company plans
to extend its app for hotel booking through the voice-activated travel agent.
But to develop the app, the company firstly needs to get feedbacks from users
to make the app better and then extend its activities.
This app is a way for travelers to book a flight in an
easier way, compared with the traditional booking flight websites. It is easy
to use thanks to the interaction with the voice-activated travel agent and it
makes travelers save time finding them offers the most adapted to their needs.
