BizTrip AI, makers of agentic AI for corporate travel management, today announced the beta launch of its trip-planning and booking agent on Slack, Microsoft Teams, and iMessage. Business travelers can now search, compare, and book travel by messaging BizTrip AI directly in the tools they use every day, with their company’s policy applied before the choice is made, not after.
Three out of four business travelers (75%) admit to booking outside their company’s managed travel program at least occasionally, according to a new report from Navan and Skift, and the tool they avoid is the one that makes them leave the conversation to use it. BizTrip AI does not ask them to leave. Starting today, the booking can happen in the thread.
“Every traveler has a different way of getting work done. Some book from their desk, some from an airport gate, and some in the middle of a team thread about next month’s offsite,” said Valerie Layman, Head of Product at BizTrip AI. “Adding Slack, Teams, and iMessage means travelers can plan and book wherever they already are, and company policy comes with them.”
The launch follows BizTrip AI’s September release of its experience natively inside Claude and ChatGPT, and extends the company’s strategy of putting corporate travel wherever employees already communicate.
BizTrip AI is built to simplify a $1.6 trillion global corporate travel market for frequent business travelers, Travel Management Companies (TMCs), and Online Booking Tools (OBTs). Instead of manually filtering through hundreds of flight and hotel listings, travelers describe what they need in plain language and BizTrip AI’s agent returns personalized, policy-compliant options shaped by the traveler’s own preferences and the company’s travel rules.
With the new messaging integrations, teams can:
- Plan in the flow of work. Type “@BizTrip, I am attending Phocuswright conference this year, please provide airfare and hotel options,” into a Slack channel or Teams chat, and the options land in the thread. No tab switch, no form.
- Book from the road. When the 6 p.m. flight cancels, text BizTrip AI from iMessage to see the alternatives, pick one and rebook, before the line at the gate desk moves.
- Stay within policy without reading it. Every option reflects the company’s travel rules and the traveler’s preferences, wherever the conversation happens, so the compliant choice is also the easy one.
“Messaging platforms are rapidly improving their support for agents, and we’ve used those new capabilities to bring the full BizTrip booking experience into our customers’ flow of work, wherever they prefer it,” explained Scott Persinger, BizTrip AI CTO.
The Slack, Microsoft Teams, and iMessage integrations are available now in beta. Business travelers and travel managers interested in joining the beta can learn more at biztrip.ai.
