Problem
Travelers often struggle to find the best flight and hotel deals because public booking sites only show listed rates that include advertising and distribution costs. Comparing options across multiple platforms is time-consuming, and prices continue to change after booking, leaving travelers without a way to capture savings that become available later.
Solution
Axel is an AI travel agent that compares public rates with private, off-market rates across airlines and hotels to surface the best available prices. Users can describe their trip in plain language, and Axel filters options around their preferences, then books the trip only after explicit confirmation. After booking, Axel continues monitoring prices 24/7 and secures savings on flights and hotels automatically, including flight repricing when airline rules allow it. The platform also enables AI assistants with web browsing to search live flight prices and hotel rates by following provided links, with no sign-in, API key, or connector needed.
Target Audience
Primary users are individual travelers who want to save time and money on flights and hotels, as well as AI assistant platforms and their users who need live travel pricing without traditional booking interfaces.
