How do I use generative AI to improve my travel agency's workflow?
In this episode of Trade Secrets, hosts Jamie Biesiada and Emma Weissmann are joined by Christine Vincent, business technology manager for Travelsavers and NEST. They discuss how generative AI is changing the travel industry, and delve into how travel advisors can use it to improve their workflows. They also chat about how to become an effective "prompt engineer" to get a desired output.
And yes, if you were wondering, Google's Bard wrote this episode's title and description (but it was, of course, vetted and edited by the hosts).
