BizTrip AI lets you book work trips from Slack, Teams and iMessage
BizTrip AI put its trip planning and booking agent into Slack, Microsoft Teams and iMessage on November 11. The feature is in beta. You can now search, compare and book business travel by sending the agent a message.
In a Slack channel or a Teams chat, you tag the agent and describe the trip in plain words, such as the conference you will attend. The flight and hotel options then show up in the same thread. On the road, you can text the agent from iMessage, for example when a flight is cancelled, see other options and rebook.
Each option follows your company's travel rules and your own preferences, so you do not need to read the policy first. BizTrip AI says this matters because many travelers book outside their company's travel program when the tool makes them leave the conversation. The company has offered its agent inside Claude and ChatGPT since September.
Travelers and travel managers can ask to join the beta at biztrip.ai.
What it means for your work
- For frequent travelers: Ask for flight and hotel options in the team thread where you plan the trip.
- For travel managers: Check that your travel rules are loaded before staff start to book in chat.
- For team leads: Plan an offsite in one channel and let each person book from there.
AI agents now work in more chat tools. See our report on Agentforce Coworker in Teams.
