Two Powerful Website Agents, One Intuitive Chat
Give visitors one helpful AI chat experience on your website, while moonstride works behind the scenes to support destination discovery, tour matching or answers from your content. Its orchestration layer detects intent and decides whether to run a recommendation or respond using the RAG knowledge engine.
Destination Discovery Assistant
The Destination Discovery Assistant helps visitors answer “Where should I go?” by guiding undecided travellers towards destinations that fit their brief. It turns vague travel ideas into a ranked destination shortlist for website enquiries or internal team use.
How It Builds Recommendations
- Experience themes, such as beach, culture, food, nature, adventure, romantic, family-friendly and luxury.
- Holiday types, including city breaks, touring, multi-city trips, island escapes, wellness and safaris.
- Climate and seasonality, including best months and mild, warm, hot or snowy preferences.
- Budget band, from low and mid-range to premium and luxury.
- Travel effort and jet lag, including short, medium and long-haul options.
The assistant provides a sensible destination shortlist with “why this fits” notes visitors can explore, while your team can use the same assistant to build proposals and shortlists faster.
Tour Matching Assistant
The Tour Matching Assistant helps visitors answer “Which tour is right for me?” by helping them compare options and move closer to booking. It ranks tours and itineraries around visitor preferences, pace, duration and budget.
How It Builds Recommendations
- Filter long lists of tours into a focused shortlist.
- Match pace and style, from relaxed to full-on, with more culture, more nature or a balanced mix.
- Align recommendations with duration and budget expectations.
- Return ranked results with quick fit highlights.
- Surface talking points and confidence drivers.
The assistant provides a conversion-ready shortlist with clear talking points directly in chat, while your team can use the same assistant internally to build proposals and shortlists faster.
Travel businesses can choose one primary assistant for their website, while the same chat can also be opened inside moonstride for internal use by sales and operations teams.
What Powers the AI Travel Assistant?
moonstride’s AI agents are powered by structured destination knowledge, product data and your own content, not generic AI. This helps the assistant deliver recommendations and answers backed by real travel industry logic.
Structured Destination and Product Knowledge
Built on moonstride’s curated destination and product data, the assistant uses consistent categories such as experience themes, holiday types, climate and seasonality, budget bands, travel effort and jet lag, accessibility signals, political stability and geographic regions to keep recommendations relevant and comparable.
Orchestrated Intent Routing
A single chat widget detects whether the visitor is asking for help choosing a trip, comparing tour options or checking a policy. It then routes the question to the right engine automatically, so visitors receive the right type of guidance through one connected chat experience.
RAG Knowledge Engine for Your Content
The assistant answers from your live website, T&Cs, FAQs and documents, so responses stay aligned with your actual products, policies and information. This helps reduce generic AI guesses and keeps answers grounded in the content your team already uses.
How Travel Teams Use the AI Assistants Every Day
See how moonstride’s AI assistants support website visitors, consultants and sales teams across common travel enquiry scenarios.
Open-Ended Website Enquiries
A visitor lands on your website with a broad travel idea and starts a chat. The assistant captures their dates, budget and interests, then suggests suitable destinations before your team needs to step in.
Visitors Looking for Quick Answers
Instead of emailing your team about cancellation rules, airport transfers or what is included, visitors can ask the assistant directly. It answers using your website content, T&Cs and FAQs, then hands over to your team when a human decision is needed.
Advisor Follow-Up
Your consultant picks up the lead inside moonstride, reviews the chat transcript and sees the suggested destination or tour shortlist. They can then turn the enquiry into a tailored proposal.
Support During Peak Periods
During busy sales days, the chat handles simple questions and completes the first round of recommendations, helping your team focus on high-value conversations.
