Mezi The New AI Powered Virtual Assistant For Travelers

Technology has always enticed the travelers as it adds new flavors to the travel experience and makes it memorable. In this eon of digitization, we have the most advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence, IoT, Machine Learning and Data Mining. All these technologies have immense potential to completely transform our day-to-day lives and using them in travel apps can apparently upheave your travel experience.
 
A new start up has come up with one such idea to leverage the use of Artificial Intelligence to create a new virtual assistant called Mezi specifically for the travelers. Mezi is a virtual assistant just like Siri and Cortana. It’s just that it uses chatbots instead of voice commands. Also, you can only use it for travel planning or shopping. Let’s see what this app can do.
 
 
Travel Like A Boss With Mezi
The Mezi app enables the users to easily look for flights, hotels, bars, restaurants and make early reservations. The app is powered by Artificial Intelligence and it uses a chatbot to help you with your travel plans. You can chat with Mezi just like your friend and tell it what you’re looking for. Say if you want to visit Las Vegas for a vacation, you can just ask Mezi to help you with that and it’ll give you smart suggestions whenever you want.
 
For instance, you can type in words like, “Hi Mezi! I’m going to Las Vegas next week. Can you show me the list of non-stop flights to Vegas for that day?” And you’d get a reply like this, “Sure thing! Just tell me about your travel dates.”
 
In the same way, you can ask it to find and book hotels for you, book flights, find points of interest in a city and book a table at some restaurant.
 
 
Use Mezi For Shopping And Gifting
While being a travel assistant, Mezi also helps you with your shopping related errands. While being in a city, you can ask it to find nearby shopping destinations. And if that’s what you’re looking for, it can also help you with online shopping. Say you want to buy a new pair of shoes for an upcoming party and you don’t have much time to stumble through all the shopping sites. Just type in, “Mezi, I’m looking for a new pair of sports shoes for my friend’s bachelor party. Can you help me out with that.” And you’d get something like, “Sure. Just tell me what’s your shoe size and I’ll give you some nice suggestions.”
 
Besides shopping, you can also use it for gifting. You can ask Mezi for gift suggestions and once you have finalized the gift, you can tell Mezi to gift it to a friend of yours. It’s that simple!
 
Owing to the Machine Learning capabilities in Mezi, once you chat with it, it saves you preferences for the future. For instance if you’ve been using it for a while to book cheap hotel rooms, the next time you ask Mezi to find hotels, it’ll only show cheaper hotels unless you tell it about your changed preferences. Mezi remembers each and every user interaction and this is what makes it the best pocket buddy you’d possibly have.

In a successful ad platform, the ads placed by you will be shown to the target customers who are looking for your product or services. This will in turn give a major boost to your conversion rate.
PPC can be done via both Google’s AdWords Platform as well as Microsoft’s Bing Platform for Ads. Every time a user searches for a particular set of keywords that you have set your bid on, the ads purchased by you will be visible to them on the Search Engine Result Page.
