The Expedia ChatGPT plugin is a feature that allows travelers to have conversations and receive assistance with travel planning directly within the ChatGPT platform, via Expedia API.
With this travel plugin, travelers can start a conversation on the ChatGPT site and access a variety of travel planning services. It enables users to explore flight options, book hotels, and receive travel recommendations, making trip planning much more convenient and efficient.
Here’s how to use it:
- Accommodations: The user can ask for lodging recommendations in a specific destination. The AI will use the
lodgingProducts
The API call to fetch the top 3 recommended lodging options. The AI will ask for the mandatory parameter (destination) from the user and can assume a 3-day date range a month from the current date if no specific dates are given by the user. - Flights: The user can ask for flight recommendations. The AI will use the
flightProducts
API call to fetch recommended flights. The AI will ask for the mandatory parameters (origin and destination) from the user and can assume a 3-day date range a month from the current date if no specific dates are given by the user. - Activities: The user can ask for activity recommendations at a specific destination. The AI will use the
activityProducts
API call to fetch recommended activities. The AI will ask for the mandatory parameter (destination) from the user and can assume a 3-day date range a month from the current date if no specific dates are given by the user. - Car Rentals: The user can ask for car rental recommendations. The AI will use the
carProducts
API call to fetch recommended car rentals. The AI will ask for the mandatory parameter (pickup location) from the user and can assume a 3-day date range a month from the current date if no specific dates are given by the user.
