Telonic

Customer intelligence, built for travel.

Telonic builds specialised AI agents that understand how a travel business operates, and act on that understanding across every customer interaction.

Telonic The problem

A journey crosses more systems than any traveller ever sees.

Travel

Disruption
Return

A trip runs from search to return across reservations, ticketing, suppliers, payments, operations and customer care. The outcomes that matter most are decided in conversations no single team owns and no single system records in full.

Revenue.

Demand converts or abandons at the first question on fare, baggage, visa or payment.

Margin.

Changes, refunds and disruption are where cost and leakage concentrate.

Reputation.

Disruption concentrates complaints, and decides whether a traveller books with you again.

Telonic The problem

Domain first. Conversation second.

General-purpose agents have made conversation inexpensive. They have not made it correct. In travel, a correct answer depends on the fare rules, the ticket status, each supplier's policy, the traveller's entitlements and their history, held in different systems and governed by different rules.

Telonic agents begin from the domain, not the dialogue.

03 / 22
Telonic Our approach

We build specialised agents for travel, run them across every channel from one record of each traveller, and finish the work each conversation creates inside your own systems.

Telonic Our approach

01 · Specialise

A working model of the travel business.

Every deployment starts from a structured model of how travel operates, extended to your products, suppliers and policies.

1

Entities.

What the model knows

Bookings and PNRs, itineraries, fares and fare rules, tickets and EMDs, ancillaries, documents, refunds and credits.

2

States and dependencies.

What must happen first

A change is permitted only within the fare rules. An involuntary change opens different entitlements from a voluntary one.

3

Obligations.

Who owes what, and by when

What you and the traveller owe each other, from the ticketing deadline to rebooking and refund.

4

Behaviour.

Who is asking, and why

Families, corporate travellers, pilgrim groups and sub-agents ask the same question for different reasons.

The model deepens with every deployment. Your data stays in yours; what carries forward is the understanding of the domain.

05 / 22
Telonic Our approach

Designed around outcomes, not exchanges.

Telonic comes from telos, a structure that behaves to serve a specific purpose, or oriented toward an ultimate end. Each interaction is mapped to the obligation it serves, and is complete only when that obligation has moved: a booking ticketed, a change made within the fare rules, a refund processed, a disrupted traveller rebooked. An agent that not only responds, but resolves.

Fare questionBooking engineBookingBooking ticketed Date changeGDSChangeChange within fare rules Refund requestMid-officeRefund requestRefund processed Flight cancelledGDSRebookingTraveller rebooked

Reasons across systems.

Assembles the answer from your GDS, booking engine, CRM, supplier systems and approved documents within the conversation itself.

Acts within its authority.

Completes the transaction in the system of record: the booking, the change, the refund request, the confirmation.

Measured on completion.

Performance is reported on obligations completed and time to completion, not on messages answered.

Telonic How it works

Every conversation has a method.

01Hear what they mean.

Travellers mix Arabic and English, and rarely open with the real request. The agent follows multiple languages and works out what they need.

Hi, my flight to Riyadh was cancelled.

ممكن تحولني على رحلة بكرة الصبح؟

Language: English and Gulf Arabic
Intent: rebook
02Check your rules.

Before it answers, the agent looks up the booking, fare or itinerary in your systems and checks what your policy allows. It cannot offer anything else.

DXB to RUH
Fare: Flex
Cancelled by airline
Policy: fare rules
Offer rebooking
Ask a question
Hand to your team
03Finish the work.

The change is made, the record is updated and your team sees the outcome. Nothing waits for someone to remember.

Telonic How it works

Specialists, not generalists

Each agent is built for travel: its entities, its workflows, its rules. It takes the volume at any hour and gives your team everything it needs for the conversations that need a person.

Handles requests, baggage, special assistance and travel documents across every channel, and logs the work in your systems.

Cases agent.

Takes refund claims, disruption cases and complaints at any hour. Decisions stay with your people.

Handed to customer care Full history attached

Outreach agent.

Telonic How it works

02 · Centralise

One continuous record of every traveller, booking and commitment.

Telephony, WhatsApp, SMS, email, web, and sub-agent and supplier correspondence consolidate into a single longitudinal record for each traveller and each booking. Commitments made in any interaction are captured with a date and tracked until met, visible to every function that follows.

What sales quoted, operations can see. What customer care promised, finance can honour.

Telonic How it works

Every channel, in the languages your travellers use.

Telephony.

Your existing numbers and carrier, connected over SIP. Calls pass back to your team whenever needed.

WhatsApp.

Your own WhatsApp Business number. We handle Meta's verification.

SMS.

Two-way texts on the same conversation, for travellers who aren't on WhatsApp.

Email.

Your Exchange or Google Workspace mailbox. Each thread is handled as one issue until it's resolved.

Web and app.

A widget on your site or inside your booking app. Logged-in travellers are already known.

Hi, ممكن أغيّر موعد الرحلة to Friday?

Preference saved for next time

Modern Standard Arabic and Gulf, Egyptian and Levantine dialects, English, and many other languages, including Urdu, Russian, Chinese and Spanish. When a traveller switches language mid-sentence, the agent follows.

Telonic How it works

03 · Complete

The work after the conversation, done every time.

1

The outcome is recorded on every conversation.

A summary, a classified outcome and the sentiment, captured automatically rather than when someone has a spare five minutes.

2

Your systems are updated while the queue is long.

Changes logged, refund requests raised, follow-ups scheduled, and booking, CRM and mid-office records written back to, inside the systems your team already works in.

3

Escalation arrives with everything attached.

When a person is needed, they get the whole conversation and a summary, so your traveller never starts again from the beginning.

Refund request raised in your mid-office

Telonic How it works

Your systems at the base. The agent on top.

04

The agent.

Holds the conversation within limits your team sets and changes. Hands over with the full conversation. Every decision recorded with its reasoning.

03

Your travel model.

The bookings, fares, itineraries and suppliers you run on, with their rules.

02

One traveller record.

Every call, message and email joins one history per traveller and booking.

01

Your channels and systems.

Your phone lines, WhatsApp number, GDS, booking engine and CRM. Nothing is replaced.

12 / 22
Telonic How it works

Ready at any hour, and ready for the rush.

Every hour, every day.

Nights, weekends, Eid and public holidays run to the same standard as a Tuesday morning.

Replies without a pause.

The agent starts forming its answer while the caller is still finishing, so nobody is left waiting in silence.

Capacity that follows demand.

Many conversations run at once. A disruption, a fare sale or a peak travel week does not create a queue.

A person when it matters.

When the agent reaches its limit, it hands over to your team with everything said so far.

Telonic Built for enterprise

The conversation adapts. Your rules do not.

Telonic separates what an agent says from what it is permitted to do. Fares, fees, entitlements and approval limits are enforced by the platform, outside the language model. An action that has not been granted does not exist for the agent.

Language model

BookingChangeRefund requestConfirmation
Reserved for your team
CompensationRefunds outside fare rulesGoodwillDisputes

Defined authority.

You set what the agent completes, what it prepares for your team, and what remains reserved: compensation, refunds outside the fare rules, goodwill outside policy and anything approaching dispute.

Full traceability.

Every statement is linked to its source and every action is logged with its reasoning, retrievable in a refund dispute or a chargeback, for as long as you keep it.

Assurance before release.

Agents are evaluated against travel-specific scenarios before launch. Every change is tested apart from live, versioned and reversible.

14 / 22
Telonic Built for enterprise

Built for the teams that have to sign it off

Operations wants resolution. Compliance wants control. IT wants it inside the systems it already runs. The agent is built to satisfy all three before it goes live.

01

Clear lines it never crosses.

Topics it won't discuss, answers that must be word for word, and decisions that stay with your people.

02

Every conversation reviewed.

Every conversation is scored against your standards. All of them, not a sample.

03

People step in where it matters.

You decide when a conversation goes to a person, and it arrives with the full history.

04

Looked up, never invented.

Fares, fees, entitlements and dates come from your own systems.

05

Current when your rules change.

When a fare rule, fee or policy changes, the agent works from the new version.

06

Set up by us, run with you.

We map, connect and agree the measures before launch, then extend channel by channel.

The conversation layer as an operating signal.

Surveys capture the few who respond. Every interaction, classified by intent, outcome and sentiment, captures every traveller and surfaces what management reporting does not.

Many more systems are supported, and custom integrations can be built for yours.

If your system isn't here, the agent can usually still act on it through a standard interface. Logos are trademarks of their owners. Their use shows systems our agents can connect to and does not imply partnership or endorsement.
