BANGALORE, INDIA: Online travel booking platform Cleartrip has launched its own Alexa skill for the Amazon Echo platform. The integration enables Amazon Echo users to quickly search for flights using simple voice instructions.
It also makes travel discovery a more engaging and social experience by taking the process beyond single-user web/mobile screens and allowing users to plan their travels with family and friends.
Cleartrip additionally sends the top three search results to the Alexa app, thus adding greater flexibility and convenience to the flight research process.
Cleartrip has previously introduced several innovative new features, such as shortlists and guided navigation, to facilitate superior user discovery and booking experience on its web and mobile platform. Having now ventured into voice search, Cleartrip will also be looking to further enhance its Alexa skills and add more options to serve the end-to-end travel and leisure booking requirements of its users.
Suman De, Director of Products at, Cleartrip, said, “Voice is a tool that makes discovery easier and swifter by eliminating the need for multiple inputs. Through this integration, we are taking the travel discovery experience to another level by enabling users to save time and effort while searching flight options. With our engineering team currently working on enhancing our existing Alexa skill, we are looking to add more options in the near future.”
