Where this applies
One of the largest corporate travel management companies. Its annual report says it is implementing automation and augmentation solutions including sentiment analysis, voice to text and LLMs to increase servicing efficiency, and creating more self-service and co-pilot solutions for travel counselors that combine automation with human service. The company describing its own plans; it gives no figures on counselors.
What this means
In corporate travel, AI is being built into the counselor's toolkit and into self-service at the same time.
What it does not yet show
A company's own plans; no measure of how counselors' work or numbers changed.
