Paris – Berlin, 23 October 2024 – Quicktext, the hospitality AI SuperApp, based in Paris, France, announces a renewed partnership with GIATA, based in Berlin, Germany, the market leader for content and technology solutions for the tourism and travel industry. 

Quicktext and Giata have decided to pool their respective strengths to create data management tools designed to power both current and future artificial intelligences. Indeed, the challenges of AI are already more related to knowledge than intelligence. This is why the collaboration between Giata and Quicktext will make it possible to collect, structure, distribute and maintain the increasingly large volumes of data that hotels must have to power their AI.

As the AI industry advances, one of the key challenges we’ve identified in hospitality is ensuring these systems are built on accurate, comprehensive, and reliable data. Without such data, AI cannot meet the evolving expectations of today’s travelers. While we are proud to be the global leader in hotel information standardization and distribution, we also feel a deep responsibility to push the industry forward, addressing not only the current needs of travelers but anticipating the demands of the future. We are excited to partner with Quicktext in shaping the next generation of AI-driven solutions that deliver the precision and trust travelers deserve.”

said Cristian Boiangiu, Director of Hospitality Solutions at GIATA.

“To meet customer expectations, a hotel must be capable of displaying at least 3,000 data points. Managing the collection, processing, updating, and distribution of such a vast amount of information requires implementing highly advanced and structured procedures, surpassing anything previously achieved. That’s why, in collaboration with Giata, we have joined forces to create the ultimate hotel data system. This system serves as the foundation for all advancements in AI, enabling Velma to conduct phone conversations, respond to emails, assist guests in hotel lobbies, and even function as a mobile phone assistant. The future is already here.”

Daniel C. Doppler, CEO of Quicktext
