Omio uses ChatGPT and Codex to speed up travel products
Omio is a travel platform for comparing and booking trains, buses, ferries, and flights. It connected OpenAI tools to more than 3,000 transport providers across 47 countries. Travelers can ask ChatGPT simple questions like the fastest route between two cities or whether a train or flight makes more sense.
The answers are tied to real transport options, prices, and bookable trips instead of static travel advice. Inside the company, Omio first gave employees access to ChatGPT, then made Codex a core part of engineering work. Every engineer now uses Codex for research, planning, coding, testing, , , and .
Omio says many product builds now take about 20% of the effort they used to need. Some work that once took several a quarter can now be done by one developer in about a month.
