The Product — What It Is
AI Seat Finder is a conversational tool integrated into the ConfirmTkt app designed to navigate the complexities of Indian rail bookings. It activates during train searches to analyze real-time availability and suggest alternatives such as different boarding points or departure times. The system allows users to use natural language queries like requesting confirmed seats after a specific time or identifying the fastest reaching trains.
By moving away from multi-step manual searches, the feature provides a guided journey for travellers in both Hindi and English languages, specifically targeting high-traffic regions and non-metro users.
