Widgety Founder Damian Gevertz said the AI Cruise Assistant has been tested by more than 250 agents so far 

The tool soft launched on 5 May, but it will be officially unveiled at the Clia Conference in Southampton on Thursday (4 June).

Work on the AI assistant started 18 months ago when Damian Gevertz was approached by AI developers in India. Widgety has since spent a "six-figure" sum developing the AI cruise assistant, Gevertz added.

Around 250 UK agents supported the tool's launch when they took part in an eight-month trial to test its capabilities.

According to Gevertz, agents can ask the assistant "any" cruise-related question including "how big are the cabins?" on a particular ship, live pricing for enquiries, side-by-side comparisons, and itinerary details.
