BizTrip.AI Launches Agentic AI Assistant to Revolutionize Corporate Travel Booking and Management

BizTrip.AI Launches Agentic AI Assistant to Revolutionize Corporate Travel Booking and Management

Business Wire3 days ago
SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- BizTrip.AI, makers of AI-powered travel management technology, today announced its launch at the Global Business Travel Association Convention in Denver. BizTrip.AI is reinventing corporate travel management by using agentic AI to modernize processes and address the innovation voids around airfare and hotel booking, itinerary change management, and price tracking and re-shopping.
BizTrip.AI is designed to simplify and enhance corporate travel by introducing intelligent solutions that benefit frequent business travelers, corporations, Travel Management Companies (TMCs), and Online Booking Tools (OBTs). The agentic AI technology is currently being trialed by large enterprise organizations, including Moderna, as well as Colorado-based TMC, Cain Travel, enhancing traditional search-based booking tools with an astute, perceptive interface that understands travelers' preferences, anticipates their needs, and ensures policy compliance.
The platform serves as a personal concierge for business travelers, delivering insightful, personalized experiences, while optimizing management costs by allowing travel planners to chat directly with an automated personal assistant. Instead of searching through hundreds of results on flights and hotels, BizTrip.AI uses historical data and preferences to anticipate traveler needs, and deliver relevant, tailored options for air, lodging and ground transportation that are compliant with corporate travel policy.
This modern experience will improve adherence to corporate policy, reduce booking leakage and reduce agent-touched transactions. BizTrip.AI can achieve up to 8% in travel cost savings – including up to 4% through persistent price tracking and re-shopping, and an additional 4% through reduced fees, employee time savings and decreased leakage. The product also provides employees with a seamless travel and planning management experience, leading to higher satisfaction and productivity.​
BizTrip.AI is co-founded by CEO Tom Romary, a travel industry entrepreneur and the former co-founder of Yapta (acquired by Coupa in 2020); CTO and agentic AI innovator Scott Persinger; and launched from AI Fund, a venture studio led by AI luminary Andrew Ng.
'BizTrip.AI allows for any corporate traveler at any level to have their own executive assistant at the ready to manage their business travel,' said Romary. 'It also represents an opportunity for TMCs, OBTs and others that plan, book and manage travel to achieve more in the absence of having a large team. The industry is evolving quickly and is instituting new technology to become less dependent on live agents. There's significant value delivered to corporations by saving time, reducing 'high-touch' work, and delivering consistent price monitoring and re-shopping.'
BizTrip.AI is also steered by AI Fund appointed board member, Rob Solomon, an innovator and pioneer in travel technology and marketplace businesses over the past 25 years. He has served as Chairman and CEO of GoFundMe, President and COO of Groupon, and CEO of Sidestep, which merged with Kayak. The company has also assembled a network of travel industry and technology advisors that includes Eric Bailey, Valerie Layman, Dave Falter, Andy McGraw, Tom Kippola, and Christopher Zando.
"In addition to automating routine travel logistics tasks, BizTrip.AI further demonstrates a deep understanding of personal travel preferences that even human travel agents often miss," Ng said. "Tom Romary and Scott Persinger have built technology that perceives, for instance, if a traveler prefers an aisle or window seat — or if their hotel needs to have breakfast, a gym, and on-site parking. BizTrip.AI's agentic travel system brings simultaneous efficiency and hyperpersonalization to the travel experience.'
BizTrip.AI key capabilities include:
'We're committed to leveraging AI to drive smarter, more efficient travel operations, and integrating BizTrip.AI into our corporate travel platform is a natural progression of that strategy,' said Jennifer Steinke, Director Travel, Meetings & Fleet Travel at Moderna. 'BizTrip.AI enhances our airfare and hotel booking processes, automates price tracking and re-shopping, and allows our employees to stay focused on what matters most—delivering results for our business.'

About BizTrip.AI
At BizTrip.AI we are building agentic AI designed to simplify and enhance corporate travel, benefitting frequent business travelers, Travel Management Companies (TMCs), and Online Booking Tools (OBTs). By allowing travel planners to chat with an automated personal assistant versus searching endlessly and combing through thousands of results on flights and hotels, BizTrip.AI knows the traveler's preferences and delivers only relevant personalized options for air and lodging that are in compliance with corporate travel rules.

Kioxia Commences Sample Shipments of 9th Generation BiCS FLASHTM 512Gb TLC Devices

Combine Existing Memory Cell and Advanced CMOS Technologies to Maximize Investment Efficiency TOKYO, July 25, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kioxia Corporation, a world leader in memory solutions, today announced it has commenced sample shipments¹ of 512Gb Triple-Level Cell (TLC) memory devices incorporating its 9th generation BiCS FLASHTM 3D flash memory technology. It plans to commence mass production in fiscal year 2025. The devices are designed to support applications requiring high performance and exceptional power efficiency in the low- to mid-level storage capacities. They will also be integrated into Kioxia's enterprise SSDs, in particular those that aim to maximize GPU efficiency in AI systems. Kioxia continues to pursue a dual-axis strategy to address the diverse needs of cutting-edge applications while delivering competitive products providing optimal investment efficiency. The two axes are: 9th generation BiCS FLASH™ products: these achieve high performance at reduced production cost by leveraging CBA (CMOS directly Bonded to Array) technology,² which integrates existing memory cell technologies³ with the latest CMOS technology. 10th generation BiCS FLASH™ products: these incorporate an expansion in the number of memory layers to meet the expected future demand for larger-capacity, high-performance solutions. The new 9th generation BiCS FLASHTM 512Gb TLC, developed using a 120-layer stacking process based on 5th generation BiCS FLASH™ technology and advanced CMOS technology, exhibit significant performance improvements over Kioxia's existing BiCS FLASHTM products⁴ with the same 512Gb capacity. These include: Write performance: 61% improvement Read performance: 12% improvement Power efficiency: enhanced by 36% during write operations and 27% during read operations Data transfer speed: the Toggle DDR6.0 interface enables high-speed 3.6Gb/s⁵ NAND interface performance Bit density: increased by 8% through advancements in planar scaling Additionally, Kioxia has confirmed that the 512Gb TLC operates at NAND interface speeds of up to 4.8Gb/s⁵ under demonstration conditions. The product lineup will be determined in accordance with market demands. Kioxia is committed to strengthening its global partnerships and pursuing further innovation in order to continue delivering optimal solutions that meet the diverse needs of its customers. These samples are for the functional check purpose and the specifications of the samples may differ in mass production. Technology wherein each CMOS wafer and cell array wafer are manufactured separately in their optimized condition and then bonded together. A 112-layer 5th generation BiCS FLASHTM and a 218-layer 8th generation BiCS FLASHTM technologies. The new lineup of 9th generation BiCS FLASHTM products will incorporate one of these, depending on the model. 6th generation BiCS FLASH™, which is deploying the same 512Gb TLC product as this product. 1Gbps is calculated as 1,000,000,000bits/second. This value is obtained under specific our test environment, and may vary depending on use conditions. Notes: In every mention of a Kioxia product: Product density is identified based on the density of memory chip(s) within the Product, not the amount of memory capacity available for data storage by the end user. Consumer-usable capacity will be less due to overhead data areas, formatting, bad blocks, and other constraints, and may also vary based on the host device and application. For details, please refer to applicable product specifications. The definition of 1Gb = 2^30 bits = 1,073,741,824 bits.
