AI-powered T&E operations
AI that turns intent into compliant action
Ask in plain language — TravelGrid creates the request, checks policy, and tracks status without adding another manual queue.
Your enterprise travel copilot. TravelGrid AI understands everyday requests and converts them into structured, policy-checked transactions inside the enterprise portal.
- "Book a flight from Mumbai to Delhi on April 10" — parsed into a One-Way domestic trip request with IATA cities, dates, and services.
- Instant policy check before submission — entitlements, limits, and guidance surfaced up front.
- Ask "what is the status of my travel request?" and get live trip, expense, and claim status.
Everything is saved as a draft until you review — secure, JWT-authenticated, and scoped to your role and company.
