Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], December 1: The Tarzan Way (TTW) today announced the launch of Kaira, an advanced AI-driven travel assistant that helps users discover destinations, create and refine itineraries, compare options, and will soon enable full bookings end to end, all through a natural, conversational interface.
Available across WhatsApp, Instagram, voice calls, and the TTW website, Kaira brings human-like understanding, accuracy, and warmth to the travel planning experience. Her launch marks a major milestone in TTW’s mission to build a smarter and more intuitive future for travel.
Founded in 2018 by Shikhar Chadha, TTW has grown from a college project into an AI-powered travel-tech platform offering curated experiences across 90+ countries. Kaira represents the next phase of TTW’s evolution, designed to meet the dynamic needs of today’s travelers.
A Human Travel Expert Powered by AI
Kaira behaves like a well-travelled companion who instantly understands personal preferences, budgets, timelines, and travel styles. She can recommend destinations, prepare instant itineraries, adjust plans in real time, suggest alternatives, and offer practical insights based on user intent.
Travelers can ask:
* “Help me reduce my trip budget.”
* “Replace this hotel with something better.”
* “Add kid-friendly activities.”
* “Plan Ladakh for 6 days without long drives.”
* “Find a smarter route to Dubai in December.”
Kaira interprets nuances such as travel pace, comfort levels, group type, hidden intent, and safety considerations, responding with clarity and context.
“Kaira is not just a chatbot. She is a travel expert who understands nuance, hidden intent, and personal preferences. She does not just answer questions; she plans the entire trip conversationally,” said Shikhar Chadha, Founder of The Tarzan Way. “Our goal is to make planning as intuitive and personal as talking to a friend.”
To improve accessibility, Kaira is also available through voice calls.
Smarter, Context-Aware Planning
Kaira blends conversational design with real-time travel intelligence. She can:
* track and alert users when flight prices drop
* advise whether to book immediately or wait
* highlight festivals, events, and weather changes
* compare options like internal flights versus longer road journeys
* reorganize overscheduled days
* recommend cost-effective alternatives when needed
This ensures itineraries remain practical, efficient, and aligned with live travel conditions without overwhelming the user.
How Kaira Works
Step 1: Trip Discovery
Kaira begins by collecting basic trip details such as destination, dates, budget, group type, and travel style. Within seconds, she generates a complete day-by-day itinerary.
Step 2: Smart Editing
Travelers can refine their plan directly within the chat by:
* swapping hotels
* adjusting routes
* adding or removing activities
* modifying budgets
* specifying personal preferences
Every change updates instantly on TTW’s platform.
