Yatra Online Limited, India’s leading online travel company, has unveiled DIYA, an advanced AI-driven travel assistant designed to transform the way travellers plan, book, and manage trips. Unlike conventional chatbots that are limited to basic queries, DIYA provides a comprehensive end-to-end travel experience, available in more than 100 languages, including regional Indian dialects.

With DIYA, users can go beyond simple searches. The platform allows travellers to plan entire itineraries, compare flights and hotels in a single query, apply personalised filters, and move directly to instant bookings—all within one conversation. The AI assistant also supports post-booking management, helping customers cancel or modify bookings, generate e-tickets, and check policies with ease.
