Glasgow: in aeroporto il nuovo assistente virtuale basato sull’IA

📌 Glasgow Airport launched an AI-based digital assistant from Hello Lamp Post to enhance travel experience during the festive season. AI technology is now operational airport-wide, providing real-time information and improved navigation 24/7. An initial accessibility trial earlier this year with Connected Places Catapult showed a 50% reduction in customer service staff inquiries. The digital assistant, accessible via QR codes at specific locations, acts as a personal concierge, offering flight updates, navigation assistance, and personalized support. Last year, Glasgow Airport welcomed over 110,000 passengers with reduced mobility, receiving the highest rating from the Civil Aviation Authority's annual accessibility report. Jamie Loudon praised the collaboration as beneficial for implementing cutting-edge technology across the airport. Tiernan Mines celebrated the full launch of their platform following the successful trial.
