It’s been a little over a year now since ChatGPT burst on the scene like a cannonball into a pool, soaking us all. The initial waves have settled down, giving us a chance to see what kind of ideas and applications are making the best use of this fascinating technology. And while AI isn’t exactly new, the democratized access to it that ChatGPT introduced means virtually anyone can make use of large language models and generative AI tools without needing a PhD.

This expanded access in turn is driving the early commoditization of a sophisticated technology, making it even cheaper to incorporate into all aspects of business. It’s unlocking innovation and reducing barriers to entry in a similar way that cloud computing did in the Web 2.0 era, and the internet did for Web 1.0. The ability to hoard teams of engineers and data scientists is no longer the moat it once was.

It’s still early days, though, and there is a lot of runway yet to travel. Joining us for part 1 of our deep dive into the state of AI in travel are two startup leaders operating in this rapidly evolving space, Andrei Papancea, CEO and Co-Founder of NLX.ai, and Stephanie Daniel, CEO and Co-Founder of  Legends.
