Introducing Ruby Talk: AI-Powered Concierge on the Vertu Agent Q
The new Vertu Agent Q elevates the iconic “one-touch” service with Ruby Talk and the Vertu AIGS (AI Generative Service), making the process of booking 5-star hotels even more intuitive and powerful.
How Vertu AIGS Enhances Hotel Bookings:
- Instant Itinerary Generation: Simply state your travel dates and preferred style (e.g., “book a romantic 5-star hotel in Paris for the last weekend of the month with a view of the Eiffel Tower”). Vertu AIGS rapidly compiles personalized recommendations, cross-referencing your past travel history and preferences.
- Swift Initial Triage: For straightforward requests (e.g., “check room availability” or “request a non-smoking floor”), the AI provides immediate answers and initiates the booking process instantly.
- Seamless Human Hand-off: Should your request involve complex negotiations (e.g., combining two adjoining suites with a specific butler service) or require expert local knowledge, the AI seamlessly transitions the task to your dedicated 24/7 exclusive concierge, already armed with the AI-generated context.
This blend of technology and human expertise ensures maximum speed for simple tasks and the utmost personalization for intricate arrangements.
