Amadeus Tackles AI's Infinite Search Problem
Skift reports that Amadeus is addressing the AI-driven "infinite search" problem in travel by precomputing likely answers and serving them to AI agents instead of resolving every query live. Skift describes how many airlines use JavaScript-heavy websites that make fare data effectively invisible to crawlers and agents; the article cites an example where a coding agent returned more than 880,000 fare options from Etihad Airways' site. Skift also reports that Amadeus is positioning itself as a foundational distribution layer for travel and that those ambitions have drawn competitor and regulatory scrutiny, including concerns tied to Sabre. Editorial analysis: For practitioners, Amadeus' approach highlights tradeoffs between precomputation, freshness, and compute cost when supporting agent-driven workflows at scale.
