12Go, the leading ground and sea transport brand in Asia and part of the Travelier group, today launches a ChatGPT App, bringing its large choice of buses, ferries, trains, and multimodal routes across Asia directly into ChatGPT. For the first time, travelers worldwide can use natural language to search and compare transport across Asia’s most fragmented transport ecosystems — and book in seconds once redirected to 12Go’s website and App.

Asia’s ground and sea transport is dominated by thousands of small operators running largely offline businesses. Until now, most of these transport options were impossible to search and compare through an AI assistant. AI-savvy users can now invoke 12Go directly from the ChatGPT interface with prompts like “find me an overnight bus from Bangkok to Chiang Mai this weekend” and get the largest choice and best offers in real time.

“AI has become the new front door for travel inspiration, but inspiration only matters if it leads to a real, bookable journey” , said Noam Toister, Co-founder and CEO of Travelier. “Now, with the 12Go App in ChatGPT, a traveler in New York or London asking how to island-hop through southern Thailand or cross from Vietnam into Laos gets an answer in seconds — powered by direct relationships with thousands of local operators. It’s a step towards making Asia’s hardest-to-reach transport options part of the global conversation about travel.  “
