Working with Rohit Khanna and BodhiMinds.ai has been a transformative experience for Exquisite Travel Group. As we developed our AI vision, Rohit provided invaluable clarity on the complexities and execution risks of our systems architecture. His deep understanding of agentic AI shifted our perspective, demonstrating that the true power of AI depends on deep platform integration rather than fragmented systems.
Beyond technical architecture, Rohit has been an exceptional sounding board for our organizational setup and operating procedures. He provided extensive professional direction regarding AI security and workflow optimization, ensuring that our infrastructure remains highly capable and secure as our agents access live booking APIs and client records.
What sets Rohit apart is his pragmatic, results-oriented approach. He helped us identify high-value starting points and guided us toward a focused 30-to-60-day roadmap to prove value through a targeted working agent before scaling. For any travel or luxury hospitality leader looking to implement a responsible and realistic AI strategy, I highly recommend Rohit.

"Rohit has been a game-changer for me and for OnSpot."
He’s helping us surf the AI wave, staying at the forefront of a technology redefining our industry without getting distracted (or crushed) by the noise. Rohit brings contagious energy, but what really stands out is the precision of his advice: it’s consistently on point, practical, and grounded in real business impact.
He has a rare ability to spot the opportunity and narrow it down to the few critical moves that actually matter, so we don’t miss what’s important while everyone else is chasing shiny objects. Working with him is a real treat, and I genuinely consider him a thought leader in strategic AI applied to travel and hospitality.
We’ve always been curious and innovative at OnSpot, but with Rohit, I feel like I have a trusted sparring partner I look forward to speaking with every time.

Agentic Voice & Conversational AI

Your Guests Are Already Talking to AI. Make Sure It Talks Back for You.

Voice and conversational AI agents are becoming the primary interface for guest service, reservation handling, upselling, and on-property requests. We partner with Hey Koala, a purpose-built agentic AI platform for hospitality, to design and implement voice and chat agents that are connected to your systems, trained on your brand, and capable of completing real transactions.

This is not a chatbot. This is a fully integrated AI agent that handles guest interactions end-to-end.

Agentic Commerce Readiness (MCP + UCP)

Get Ready to Transact in the Age of AI Agents

Two critical infrastructure layers are emerging that every hospitality business needs to implement.

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the context and data layer, how AI agents connect to your PMS, CRS, inventory, pricing systems, and guest data. Without MCP integration, AI agents cannot access the real-time information they need to act on your behalf.

UCP (Universal Commerce Protocol) is the commerce execution layer, how AI agents complete actual bookings, modifications, upgrades, and transactions. It is the payment and action infrastructure that takes an AI agent from recommendation to reservation.

Together, MCP and UCP form the backbone of agentic hospitality. A property that has both is ready for the AI-first commerce era. A property that has neither will lose bookings to competitors who have made this investment.

We partner with Listo AI to deliver end-to-end agentic commerce readiness, converting your existing systems into production-ready apps inside AI platforms like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.

Governance is the guardrail that makes everything else sustainable. We help you develop the principles, policies, and practices that ensure AI is used responsibly. This is not about slowing down adoption. It is about building the trust infrastructure that makes bold adoption possible.

What You Receive:
  • AI Ethics and Usage Policy customized to your operations
  • Data privacy and transparency frameworks aligned with guest expectations and regulations
  • Decision-making protocols: when AI assists, when it leads, when humans override
  • Vendor evaluation criteria and procurement governance
  • Regular audit and review mechanisms
  • Guest-facing AI transparency guidelines



AI Search Optimization (AEO + GEO)

AI has changed how travelers discover and choose where to stay. Two disciplines now define visibility, and they work best together.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) ensures your content is understood, cited, and recommended by AI engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Claude. GEO methods can boost source visibility by up to 40% in generative engine responses.

Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) makes your brand the definitive answer when travelers ask specific, high-intent questions. It targets the question-and-answer layer through topical authority, entity-based content architecture, and trusted structured data.

Together, they create a compounding AI visibility advantage that standalone SEO can no longer deliver.

What You Receive:
  • Full content audit through both a GEO and AEO lens
  • Schema markup implementation (Hotel, TouristTrip, Offer, FAQPage, Review)
  • Implementation of llms.txt files for AI agent comprehension
  • Content restructuring into self-contained, fact-rich sections with structured data
