Solution

Omio connected OpenAI models directly to its transportation inventory and booking systems to turn trip planning into a conversational commerce experience. Early ChatGPT integrations let travelers ask natural-language questions such as which route is fastest or whether a flight or train is better, and the answers are grounded in live inventory and pricing across Omio’s network of more than 3,000 providers in 47 countries. The company later expanded this into a dedicated ChatGPT experience connected to its global transportation network so AI can surface real, bookable journeys instead of static advice. Internally, Omio rolled out ChatGPT across the business and then embedded Codex deeply into engineering, from research and planning to testing, code review, monitoring, and maintenance. It is also building custom connectors that pull internal systems and workflows into AI tools so employees can move from information retrieval into execution as the company becomes AI-native.

Data flow

Traveler questions are sent through ChatGPT and OpenAI APIs connected to Omio’s live transportation inventory, pricing, and booking systems so the system can return verified journeys. Internally, product tasks and system context move through ChatGPT, Codex, and custom connectors that tie AI tools to Omio’s data and workflows.
