What is TixAce Travel?

2.1. TixAce: An Innovative AI-Powered Platform

TixAce is an innovative AI Agent-based platform that represents a new approach to digital services. Rather than simply using AI as a tool, TixAce implements AI to create new opportunities and new jobs, fostering innovation and growth in the digital economy.

TixAce is fundamentally an IT company with a primary focus on implementing artificial intelligence and ticketing solutions. Our platform philosophy centers on creating value through intelligent automation while maintaining human oversight and quality assurance.

2.2. The Main TixAce Ticketing Service

The flagship TixAce platform is primarily designed for event organization and ticketing services. The main TixAce service provides comprehensive solutions for:

• Event Organization: Complete tools for organizing events of all sizes, from small gatherings to large-scale concerts and shows
• Ticket Sales: Integrated ticket sales platform with secure payment processing and inventory management
• Ticket Reader: Functional ticket verification and scanning systems for event entry
• Ticketing Agents: Human agents who assist customers in finding their desired tickets for events like concerts, shows, and other entertainment

The ticketing service is designed to streamline the entire event lifecycle, from planning and ticket sales to entry management and customer support.

2.3. Platform Development Status

The TixAce platform is currently in an upcoming stage and has not yet been publicly released. The development timeline is as follows:

• Current Status: Closed alpha testing phase
• Expected Launch: November-December 2024
• Launch Status: Beta release upon public launch

While the platform is still in development, TixAce Travel is already operational and provides a preview of the capabilities that will be available across the entire TixAce ecosystem.

3.1. Built on TixAce Platform Infrastructure

TixAce Travel is built on the upcoming TixAce platform, leveraging its core infrastructure and shared technologies. This foundation provides TixAce Travel with:

• Robust, scalable server infrastructure
• Shared authentication and user management systems
• Integrated payment processing capabilities
• Core AI technologies and services
• Physical platform compatibility features

By building on the TixAce platform, TixAce Travel benefits from the platform's continuous development and improvements, ensuring that users always have access to the latest features and capabilities.

3.2. Shared Core Features

• Payment Processing: Both platforms use Barion Payment Services for secure, reliable payment processing, though user accounts and data are kept separate

3.3. Separate but Connected

While TixAce Travel and the main TixAce ticketing service share core infrastructure, they are designed as separate services with distinct purposes:

• Separate User Bases: Each service maintains its own user accounts and data, ensuring privacy and specialized service delivery
• Specialized Features: Each service is optimized for its specific use case (travel planning vs. event ticketing)
• Unified Experience: Despite being separate, both services benefit from the shared platform infrastructure, providing a cohesive experience across the TixAce ecosystem

4.1. What is Iris?

Iris is TixAce's main AI product and your intelligent travel companion. Iris is a custom Large Language Model (LLM) specifically developed and trained for travel planning and assistance. Unlike generic AI assistants, Iris is purpose-built to understand travel preferences, analyze destinations, and create personalized travel experiences.

Iris serves as the core AI technology across the TixAce platform, providing intelligent assistance in both the ticketing service and TixAce Travel. As TixAce's flagship AI product, Iris represents our commitment to implementing AI in innovative and practical ways.

• Preference Understanding: The AI interprets your travel style, budget constraints, and activity preferences to create a personalized plan
• Itinerary Generation: Iris generates a comprehensive travel itinerary with activities, accommodations, transportation, and pricing information
• Optimization: The system optimizes your plan by comparing travel times, popularity of places, and pricing to find the best options
