Everything AI in Travel - REWIND with Christian Watts from Magpie.ai
In this early episode I chatted to Christian Watts from Magpie. I can't think of another person from travel who paid as close attention to the rise of AI than Christian in the early days.
Christian's almost daily video explainers on LinkedIn were an incredible source of knowledge for the industry as we all figured out what generative AI was and more importantly, what it could do for our industry.
In this chat we look back on the whole of 2023 (!) and go through the main points in which the rise of generative AI shook up the travel industry, and in many ways, also didn't.

Everything AI in Travel - REWIND with Jeff Kischuk from Tripian
This episode was first recorded with Jeff Kischuk from Tripian just before XMAS of 2023 but still remains highly relevant today.
Many of the glitches of generative AI have not really sorted themselves out as some might have hoped meaning the deeper tech of products built pre-gen AI, like Tripian, are still more robust in the truth of their recommendations.
The flip side of the coin is universal global scale that generative AI enables out of the box, but there isn't yet really a clear winner as to which the market prefers.

Everything AI in Travel - REWIND with Shie Gabbai from AskLayla (Roam Around)
In the second of our REWIND series as we relaunch all episodes onto Spotify, we go back to the incredible week of crisis at OpenAI where founder Sam Altman was sacked, reinstated and then had the board sacked! What a time.
I was lucky that week to be catching up with Shie Gabbai for Roam Around (since acquired) who was founder at one of the hottest AI startups in travel at that moment. The problem however was that Gabbai was reliant on OpenAI's API for his own business.
Gabbai beautifully navigated his was through this period as we talk about on this chat, leading to the business being acquired just a short time after.
