AI strategy and visibility

Show up when AI recommends

More and more people ask an AI assistant where to go, where to stay and where to invest. If a place doesn't show up in those answers, it doesn't get considered.

Proof · Destination Vancouver

An AI chatbot for visitors

At Destination Vancouver I led and drove the organization's AI-powered visitor servicing chatbot. The team built and launched it, and it answers visitors' questions about the city on the Destination Vancouver website.

That project was part of a bigger move into AI, from visitor servicing to AI visibility to adoption across the whole organization.
