Yanolja Collaborates with OpenAI to Accelerate AI Adoption in the Travel Industry
Yanolja, a global travel technology company, has announced its collaboration with Open AI’s global launch of its Operator research preview. This partnership signifies a significant advancement in Yanolja’s mission to transform the global travel sector with travel-specific generative AI services utilizing its proprietary data and infrastructure.
Revolutionizing Travel with AI
The Operator AI agent developed by OpenAI is capable of performing tasks such as inputting, clicking, scrolling, managing travel bookings, and online shopping in a web browser. This technology assists users in completing travel bookings and online shopping tasks within a browser, with the ability to click, scroll, and type independently. Initially launched in the U.S. in January, Operator’s research preview has now expanded to more global markets with the support of Yanolja.
Jeff Kim, CEO at Yanolja Cloud, shared, “Through our extensive travel-related data, our generative AI can provide hyper-personalized experiences at every stage of a user's travel journey, improving satisfaction and loyalty. Additionally, our AI technology aims to enhance customer service, automate operational processes for travel enterprises, and increase overall efficiency and convenience. We are dedicated to expediting the era of fully automated, personalized, and AI-driven total travel services, and we are excited about the collaboration with OpenAI to shape the future of travel."

Future of Automated Travel Experiences
Through collaborations with leading AI organizations worldwide, Yanolja continues to drive digital transformation in the travel industry, shaping automated and intelligent travel experiences for users and travel enterprises globally.
Meanwhile, Starwood Hotels, formerly known as SH Hotels & Resorts, is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a rebrand to Starwood Hotels, resurrecting the renowned global brand established nearly three decades ago by Barry Sternlicht, a prominent figure in modern hospitality.
