Integration of GPT-4 (ChatGPT) via OpenAI API into an enterprise travel application for automated curated content generation.

myLike is a platform that enables travel, tourism, mobility and hospitality companies to create and share personalized digital travel guides with their customers in a white-label format. The goal of this project was to optimize the process of creating personal recommendations for places and experiences through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) by integrating features of GPT-4 (ChatGPT) into the application via the OpenAI API.

For this purpose, a “typing assistant” based on GPT-4 (ChatGPT) was developed to inspire and actively support companies in the creation of personalized content. This AI-based assistant has been fully integrated into the myLike personalized content creation process, shortening it by providing business-tailored and engaging text suggestions that can be further personalized.

Challenge

The myLike business web application already provided a solid platform to offer guests personalized recommendations for attractions, restaurants and activities near their current location. However, it was difficult for businesses to find the time and resources to customize the content, despite significant automation tools to help users create the tips. The challenge was to create an even more efficient way to identify new and interesting local services and activities and make them available to guests and customers in a timely and personalized way. At the same time, it had to be ensured that the content generated was truthful, up-to-date and not “hallucinated”.

  • Ensuring that content is up to date

  • Individual and personal adaptation of recommendations

  • Ensuring the accuracy of the generated content

  • Efficient identification of new, interesting offers as selectable options

  • Fast integration of new offers into the geolocalized database for the guests and customers

  • Avoidance of “hallucinated” or outdated information

Realization

To address the challenges and add content generation capabilities to the myLike business web application, the OpenAI API and GPT-4 were integrated.

To ensure the accuracy, currency and value of the content for guests, up-to-date information from various used and compared with curated sources.
