Travel Planning Requires Too Many Phone Calls
Planning a trip should be exciting, but the logistics are anything but. Hotels that show "sold out" online sometimes have rooms available by phone. Airlines charge lower change fees when you call. Restaurants at your destination may not be on OpenTable. And coordinating airport transfers, tours, and activities often requires calling local businesses that do not have slick booking websites.
A typical week-long vacation can involve 8 to 15 separate phone calls — confirmations, special requests, changes, and follow-ups. For international travel, add time zone math and language barriers to the mix.
Business travelers face this at scale: multiple cities, tight schedules, and last-minute changes that need a human on the phone to resolve. The administrative overhead of travel planning is one of the top reasons executives cite for wanting an assistant.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can KallyAI get better hotel rates by calling directly?
Sometimes yes. Many hotels offer best-rate guarantees when booking direct, and phone agents occasionally have access to rates or packages not shown online. KallyAI will ask about any available discounts or promotions.
Does KallyAI work for international travel booking?
KallyAI currently makes calls to US phone numbers. For international travel, it can handle US-based bookings, airline calls to US numbers, and any travel service with a US contact line.
Can KallyAI handle flight rebooking with airlines?
Yes. KallyAI can call airlines to change flights, request upgrades, inquire about cancellation policies, and handle other booking modifications. Airline calls tend to use more credits due to longer hold times.
What details does KallyAI need for a hotel booking?
At minimum: the hotel name or phone number, your check-in and check-out dates, room type preference, and the name for the reservation. Optionally: special requests, loyalty program number, budget constraints.
