• •Rapid iterations: we roll out changes every week, collect metrics, analyze, and improve. An ideal environment for those who want to see the results of their work in real-time.
• •Experiments: A/B testing of prompts, hybrid search (text + visual + reviews), multimodal models — you decide what to test and quickly validate hypotheses on real users.
• •Scaling: starting with 2000 tours to the Maldives, by the end of the year processing 50,000+ tours across three destinations with thousands of requests per day.
