Where you spend your time

Your time is money

We know how your week actually goes

Most travel agencies are not short on enquiries; they are short on time. Trip requests, itinerary building, supplier confirmations, deposits, passports, visas, and pre-departure paperwork quickly fill every week.

Actionist builds AI agents for Travel Agencies that handle your digital work, so your advisors can focus on planning trips and looking after travellers.

What matters to you

Speed to reply
The first advisor to answer a trip enquiry usually books the client.
Accurate itineraries
One wrong date or supplier detail can unravel a whole trip.
Deposits on time
A missed balance deadline can cancel a booking outright.
Documents in order
A lapsed passport or missing visa can stop a trip at the airport.
Built around your team
These are examples. Build a custom agent for any job you repeat.

And hundreds of other tasks you do manually..

An agent can take a lot off your team's plate. Take a look below to see the time and cost you could save by adding AI agents to your Travel Agencies team's day.

Triggers and Reactions

Your Agent wakes up Automatically whenever something happens

WhenA new trip enquiry landsfires within about a minute

The agent automatically

The moment a website form, email, or logged phone note arrives, the agent reads it within about a minute, checks it against budget, dates, and destination interest, compares supplier rates, and drafts a warm reply with two quote options. Every message waits for your one-pass approval before it reaches the client, so the fastest agency stops winning by default.

Trust & control

You stay in control

An AI agent works inside your real supplier portals and client records, so staying in control matters. Actionist is built to be supervised: you decide how much each agent does on its own, you approve what reaches a client, and every step is recorded for you to check.

You set the supervision

Choose how much each agent does on its own, from drafting for approval to handling trusted routine work. Anything destructive, like cancelling a booking, always asks first, and that cannot be turned off.

Approve from your phone

Agents can reach you over Telegram or Slack, so you approve a reply or an action with one tap, from wherever you are.

Every run is logged

Each run is recorded step by step, with screenshots and a full transcript, so you can see exactly what the agent read and did.

Your data stays yours

Credentials are encrypted in a vault and never shown again, memory stays on your own machine, and you can self-host Actionist on your own server.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Will it actually answer a trip enquiry the way I would, or will it sound like a robot?

That's the whole point of AI agents for travel agencies done right: they work from your voice, not a script. You teach the agent your tone, your qualifying questions, and how you usually pitch a first option, and it drafts replies the same way. Until you trust it, every message waits for your approval before it reaches a client, so nothing goes out that doesn't sound like your agency. Most teams start on full approval and loosen it once the drafts consistently match how they'd have written it themselves.

We use a supplier portal that has no API at all. Can it still work with that?

Yes, and this is exactly where Actionist differs from a typical integration. Most GDS back-offices, tour operator portals, and hotel extranets expose no public API, so a tool that only connects through APIs simply can't reach them. Actionist's desktop agent operates the screen directly, reading the portal and clicking, typing, and navigating the way a person would, so it reaches the exact tools your agency already uses, not just the ones a vendor happened to expose.

Will it ever message a client without me seeing it first?

Not unless you tell it to. Actionist runs on Approval Modes: you choose whether an agent drafts for your review every time, handles trusted routine work on its own, or sits somewhere in between. Anything destructive, cancelling a booking, issuing a refund, always asks first, and that cannot be switched off. You can approve a reply from your phone over Telegram or Slack in one tap, so staying in control never means sitting at a desk.

Enquiries come in on evenings and weekends when nobody's at a desk. Can it handle those?

The desktop agent works while the app is open on a machine in your office, which covers a lot of after-hours ground already. For genuinely unattended cover, nights, weekends, when nobody has a laptop open, Actionist offers a hosted cloud runtime on a paid plan, so an agent can keep working and queue drafts ready for your approval the next morning. That way a Saturday-night enquiry doesn't sit until Monday.

Is this replacing my travel advisors?

No. It takes the admin off their plate, the inbox triage, the rate comparisons, the document chasing, so advisors spend their time on the parts that actually need a person: building relationships, recommending the right trip, and handling the judgement calls a client is really paying for. The craft of travel advice stays human. The repetitive typing around it doesn't have to.

Can I build an agent for something specific to how WE run trips?

Yes. The teams and jobs shown on this page are examples of what AI agents for travel agencies can automate, not a limit on what you can build. If your agency has its own way of quoting group trips, a particular supplier workflow, or a report only you care about, you describe the job like you'd brief a new starter and Actionist builds a custom agent around it, using your tools and your process, not a generic template.

Our clients hand over passport numbers and payment details. How is that kept safe?

Client and traveller data stays protected at every step. Credentials and account access are encrypted in a vault and never shown again once entered, an agent's memory of past work stays on your own machine rather than a shared cloud, and your data is never used to train models. Every action is logged step by step with screenshots and a transcript, so there's a full audit trail of exactly what an agent touched. If your agency needs full data control, self-hosting Actionist on your own server is also an option.

None of us are technical. How long before this is actually doing anything?

No code, ever. You describe a job in plain English the way you'd brief a new hire, and Actionist builds the agent from that. Connecting an app like your CRM, inbox, or booking tool is a guided one-click process, and most agencies have their first agent doing real work the same day they set it up, usually something small like triaging enquiries or chasing a deposit, then expand from there once they trust it.

What does this cost, and is it actually worth it for a small agency?

Pricing scales with how many agents you run and whether you add the hosted cloud runtime, so there's no single number that fits every agency, book a demo and we'll walk through what fits yours. The value case is straightforward though: every hour an agent takes off enquiry triage, document chasing, or deposit reminders is an hour an advisor spends selling the next trip instead, and a single saved booking from a faster reply usually covers a lot of ground.
