Meet Amanda - our new colleague

Got a quick question and too impatient to hang around waiting for an answer? Or a new colleague who is not familiar with the Amadeus booking platform? It’s pretty frustrating to have to pick up the phone and call the helpdesk, or to waste time sending an email and then wait for a response. Imagine getting an answer to your question at the click of your fingers.

We know travel agents are busy people who want quick and easy access to information. They have no time to waste. That’s why we have launched Amanda. She will be available 24/7.

From the beginning of February, when you log on to Amadeus Selling Platform Connect, you’re going to notice something different. Our new chatbot, Amanda who will pop up on the right hand side of your screen to greet you.

Instant support

Ask her a simple question – for example, how can I issue a ticket - and you will get an answer in two seconds with links to useful documents and alternatives.  If you are stuck in a reservation and want to know the next step, she can assist you. Or, if you want information about products or news, just ask Amanda.

Sceptical that a chatbot can answer your questions? Well, we spent the past year testing Amanda extensively and she’s pretty good at answering clear and simple questions. If she’s not sure what you are asking her, she will prompt you for more information. If you are not happy with her answer, just let us know and we can reprogram the question.

Trust me, Amanda’s going to be your new best friend at Amadeus so don’t be afraid to try her out. You’re going to get quicker answers than sitting and thinking about it, or calling us.
