At Agoda, we strive to provide our users with the tools they need to make confident booking decisions. Yet, delays in getting property-related information remain a common frustration for many travelers. To tackle this, we developed the Property Ask Me Anything (AMA) Bot, an AI-powered chatbot aimed at improving how users interact with property information. In this article, Supakarn Purivekin, Staff Software Engineer at Agoda, shares the challenges we faced, how we built this tool, and our plans for its future evolution.

🚀 Thrilled to Attend Agoda Dev Day 2024! 🌐 I had the incredible opportunity to attend Agoda Dev Day, where the spirit of innovation and collaboration was truly palpable. As a hub of cutting-edge technology, Agoda continues to set benchmarks in how we approach modern software engineering. Here are a few key takeaways that left me in awe: 💡 Engineering Excellence: From scalable microservices to robust CI/CD pipelines, Agoda’s engineering teams are solving complex challenges with efficiency and creativity. Their focus on building systems that are resilient, reliable, and ready for global scale is truly inspiring. 🤖 AI & ML in Action: Agoda’s use of data science and machine learning is nothing short of revolutionary. From personalizing travel experiences to optimizing operational workflows, their data-driven culture is unlocking endless possibilities. 📦 Innovative Tech Stack: It’s fascinating to see Agoda leverage modern technologies like Kubernetes, TypeScript, and React alongside a commitment to fostering strong developer productivity with custom-built tools and frameworks. 🌍 Global Impact: Building products for millions of users worldwide means navigating the complexities of localization, scalability, and performance. The thoughtfulness behind these solutions is a testament to Agoda’s dedication to user experience. It’s clear that innovation isn’t just a buzzword at Agoda—it’s a mindset woven into every project and conversation. Kudos to the entire team for putting together such a stellar event. Feeling inspired and ready to take these learnings into my work! 🙌 #AgodaDevDay #TechInnovation #EngineeringExcellence #GrowthMindset #Agoda

At Agoda, we encountered delays in processing merge requests due to uneven workload distribution, limited visibility into reviewer availability, and reliance on manual processes. To address these challenges, we developed a Merge Request Bot—a solution that automates workload balancing, streamlines notifications and optimizes the merge process for greater efficiency.

Programming jam with the team today (yes, im a technical cofounder) moving our progress on this from 50% completion rate to 70%. In another 2 weeks, we should be good for private onboarding with selected operators - at no cost. Integrating Reyhut Automation with more than 100 booking platforms in the likes of Agoda, Traveloka and others - is not easy. Some tech friends even asked us to not build it due to the complexity. They were not wrong. It took most players more than 2 years to came up with one - can we do it in less than 8 months? Full OTA sync with live availability management and seamless rate management (plus dynamic rate powered by AI) will be our most important acceleration enabler. While we have a differentiating tech on the smart devices, feature parity on some key capabilities still is a must and we aim to tick this box within the next 6 months. Onward, upward! PS: We have more than 200 high quality leads to develop in our lead centre now, do you know any hungry and talented B2B SaaS salesperson that could help me?

What happens when you put Agoda’s #CTO and #CPO on stage to reflect on their decade-long journey? You get a masterclass in #agility, #experimentation, and making #data your best ally! 💡 Idan Zalzberg and Ittai Chorev shared how building a nimble, experimentation-driven tech culture at Agoda has been key to adapting quickly to new trends and customer needs. They emphasized the importance of both luck and personal growth in their journey, noting that recognizing luck fosters humility and continuous improvement. As they put it: “Our approach is less about guessing the future... it's a lot about being agile, nimble, and focused on experimentation. It’s less about choosing the 'right' option and more about sorting through the millions or billions of choices to find the best ones." Agoda’s transformation from a travel company to a tech company that sells travel was a strategic decision to take control of its future through #innovation and #adaptability. #witsingapore #nextgeneration #traveltech #travelconference

At Agoda, we process over 450 million property images to enhance travelers' booking experience. Managing this massive library comes with challenges like duplicate images, low-quality uploads, and fragmented metadata, all of which can impact the user experience. In this article, Neeraj Barthwal, Staff Software Engineer at Agoda, shares how we use Big Data and AI to address these challenges. You’ll learn about the intricate processes of handling millions of images from procurement to enrichment and how we overcame these obstacles to deliver a seamless visual experience for our users.

One of the most powerful things about team-building events is the shared memories they create. During our recent GoSnoop project with Agoda, we were reminded of this truth: Our favorite moments weren’t about individuals shining, it was about teams conquering challenges together, creating meaningful impacts, and making unforgettable memories for others. Shared experiences like these are the foundation of resilience teams. -- They’re the stories we tell, the lessons we carry, and the bonds we strengthen along the way. At GoSnoop, it’s not just the teams we host that grow through the process, we do too. Every event challenges us to collaborate, innovate, and build stronger connections within our own team as we create impactful experiences for others. A huge thank you to Agoda and Dima Schuster for trusting us with this adventure and for bringing your energy and open-mindedness to every challenge. Your enthusiasm and feedback inspires us to continue doing what we love! 🎉 #GoSnoop #TeamBuilding #SharedMemories #ResilienceTeam #StrongerTogether
