Genial, a France-based company, has raised 1.8 million euros in its first funding round to develop AI agents for tourism and leisure businesses.
The funding round was led by Huttopia and Crédit Agricole, and the company plans to develop more AI agents and search engines, expand globally, and double its workforce.
Genial's AI agents are designed for small- to medium-sized businesses and offer solutions for sales, marketing, customer relations, and other business functions.
Generative AI is making its mark in the travel and hospitality sectors, with companies exploring the potential of AI in customer interactions and guest engagement.
