SINGAPORE, Aug. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Digital travel platform Agoda has officially launched the Property AMA ("Ask Me Anything") Bot, an AI chatbot designed to provide instant answers to travelers' hotel-specific questions. This innovation aims to help users make quicker, more confident booking decisions by cutting through the clutter and delivering precise information in seconds.
Since the successful soft launch, the Property AMA Bot quickly gained popularity, answering over 30,000 hotel-related questions per day. Every day, millions of travelers visit Agoda to explore accommodation options, compare amenities, and find the perfect stay for their trip. While Agoda's property pages are packed with details, answers to simple yet relevant questions like "Is there parking available?" or "What's the quality of the breakfast?" can sometimes be hidden in a sea of descriptions and reviews. A connection between Agoda's systems and advanced language model, ChatGPT, enriched with live property data, ensures the Property AMA Bot provides up-to-date responses.
Agoda's users were already able to contact property owners directly via a messaging system, but property response rates and times varied. The Property AMA Bot builds on this by offering real-time, reliable responses to enhance user confidence. The tool is available on any property page, and on all Agoda platforms: desktop, mobile web, and app.
"Helping travelers get the answers they need, when they need them, is central to building trust in our platform and delivering even more value to customers," said Idan Zalzberg, Chief Technology Officer at Agoda. "The Property AMA Bot reduces uncertainty by answering questions instantly, which in turn leads to a smoother, more satisfying booking experience."
With the launch of the Property AMA Bot, Agoda is taking a transformative step toward more responsive and user-friendly booking experiences. Travelers can now enjoy a more seamless journey from browsing to booking, supported by Agoda's commitment to making travel simpler, faster, and more personalized.

Agoda Launches AI-Powered Bot to Instantly Answer Hotel Questions
Envision doubles down on the renewable energy system with its launch of Dubhe, an energy foundation model shaping the AI energy system.
ABU DHABI, UAE, Jan. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Envision, the global leader in green technology, today announced the launch of Dubhe, its groundbreaking Energy Foundation Model, designed to shape the world's largest Physical AI system – the AI energy system.
Inspired by Dubhe, the guiding star of the Big Dipper that has helped humanity navigate by the North Star for thousands of years, the Dubhe Energy Foundation Model was unveiled by Lei Zhang, Founder and CEO of Envision, during the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week.
Dubhe sits at the core of Envision's Physical AI architecture, analysing vast real-world energy data streams to orchestrate renewable generation, storage, grids, and demand in real time. By unlocking the abundance of renewable resources and driving costs toward near-zero marginal levels, Dubhe enables energy systems to scale in step with AI—addressing the unprecedented energy demands that AI places on global infrastructure.
"For centuries, Dubhe guided humanity through the night sky. Today, Dubhe is the guiding star of the AI era—shaping the AI energy system with a foundation that is infinite, intelligent, and inexpensive, supporting the prosperity of a new civilization." Says Lei.
Shaping the AI Energy System: From Large Language Models to Physical Artificial Intelligence
While large language models have transformed the digital world, Envision believes the next leap lies in Physical Artificial Intelligence—AI that directly governs the physical systems essential to human survival and prosperity.
Dubhe works in tandem with Tianji, Envision's large-scale weather foundation model. Because renewable energy depends on weather, Tianji provides the predictive intelligence that allows Physical AI to anticipate and respond to weather-driven variability, ensuring the energy system operates efficiently and reliably at scale.
"Language models understand words. Physical AI understands the world. Energy is the foundation of all systems." Says Lei. "This isn't just an energy transition. It's a civilizational upgrade, laying the foundation for human prosperity within planetary boundaries."
Strategic Partnership with Masdar to Advance AI Energy System Deployment
Envision also signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Masdar, the UAE's clean energy champion, to jointly unveil the future-oriented AI Energy System.The signing was witnessed by HE Dr Sultan Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, ADNOC Managing Director and Group CEO, Masdar Chairman, together with Lei Zhang.
Under the agreement, Masdar recognizes Envision as a strategic partner in renewable energy technology sectors, including wind power, energy storage, and green hydrogen, to jointly advance the large-scale deployment of AI energy systems and accelerate the global energy transition.
