Zalzberg continues: “While the book was created mostly for fun and to inspire a future generation of tech talent, we take Gen AI very seriously within Agoda. There are over seventy internal projects taking place in the tech department alone to leverage increasing efficiency and improving our platform for travellers globally. Gen AI improvements are, as we speak, contributing to new under-the-hood features on the Agoda platform and are powering a more effective customer support experience.”
