Travel professionals and developers will soon be able to use natural language to build applications, research information and complete tasks via Claude.

Global travel technology company Amadeus is funnelling its travel technology and content into AI tools powered by Anthropic's Claude – a family of AI models and tools designed to help people with tasks such as research, coding, analysis and workplace processes.

The collaboration focuses on two groups: software developers building travel applications and travel professionals using Amadeus systems in their day-to-day work. For developers, Amadeus is working on a toolkit that will bring its connectivity, documentation, authentication and travel content into AI-enabled development environments.

The aim is to allow developers using Anthropic's Claude Code to find Amadeus resources and work with travel content without repeatedly moving between developer portals, documentation and other systems.

Using natural language, developers will be able to discover Amadeus capabilities, create prototypes and develop applications with the help of an AI coding assistant. The first areas of focus will be flight and destination content, including access to real-time Amadeus travel information.

The move reflects a wider change in software development as AI agents increasingly help developers write, test and assemble applications. Amadeus is also exploring how the same technology could change the way travel professionals interact with its systems.

The company is working to make selected Amadeus applications available through a plug-in for Claude Cowork, Anthropic's agentic workplace tool. This is intended to allow users to interact with Amadeus services from within an AI-powered working environment rather than switching between different systems.

Amadeus says the technology could eventually allow travel professionals to find information, conduct research, draft content, analyse data and take actions across its systems using plain language. It also says access will be controlled, with organisations retaining oversight of decisions and safeguards around how AI is used.

The work follows a recently completed Claude Enterprise pilot at Amadeus, with the travel technology company now assessing options for further deployment. The initiative is part of Amadeus' wider response to the rise of AI agents, which can carry out multi-step tasks on behalf of users rather than simply answering questions.

For the travel industry, this could change how people interact with the complex technology behind areas such as flight distribution, travel selling and destination information. Instead of requiring specialist knowledge of individual software interfaces, some tasks could increasingly be initiated through conversational instructions.

Amadeus says its collaboration with Anthropic is designed to make its travel intelligence easier to access through the AI environments that developers and travel professionals are beginning to use.
