Product Description: Voyani is an AI-powered personal travel manager for the rest of the trip. Travelers get one live itinerary: the place to stay, the things to do, and the plan for each day. Voyani monitors the trip and sends proactive alerts when plans change. Ask Voyani answers questions in the moment and books activities in-app. Partners add Voyani to the booking confirmation or post-checkout page, and the rest of the trip becomes revenue and cost savings.
Business Model: B2B2C. Travel partners offer Voyani free to their customers through the booking confirmation email or the post-checkout page. Travelers click through to a live trip dashboard. Voyani earns on booked in-app purchases and shares a portion of that revenue back to the partner, with no extra work. Proactive trip alerts lower partner support costs.
Competitors: None that provide similar technology.
Competitive Edge: Voyani picks up where the booking ends. It manages the rest of the trip for the partner's customer, shares revenue back to the partner, and cuts avoidable support calls with proactive alerts. Patent-pending: 12 claims across four pillars.
Market Opportunity: Travel companies win the booking, then the trip happens without them. Activities, dining, transportation, and local experiences make up a big part of the spend, and little of it flows back to the partner that sold the trip. Support teams field high-volume, low-complexity questions that cost real money. Travelers feel it too: trip details are scattered across a dozen apps and inboxes, and no one owns managing the trip after booking. Voyani turns that gap into revenue and cost savings.
Early Customers: Confidential.
