Discover Puerto Rico Launches New AI Agents to Connect Travellers with Island Businesses

Discover Puerto Rico has announced it has engaged Satisfi Labs to develop a new AI-powered experience and intent-matching platform for DiscoverPuertoRico.com. Designed for both leisure travellers and meeting and event planners, the platform will turn natural-language conversations into personalised recommendations and qualified referrals to relevant, vetted tourism businesses across the Island.

At the heart of the platform is a simple goal: to make it easier for travellers and meeting planners to find the Puerto Rico businesses that best fit what they are looking for. By understanding a user’s specific needs and interests, the experience is designed to move beyond general inspiration and create more direct opportunities for businesses across the Island to be discovered.

The AI agents for Discover Puerto Rico will be grounded in the Island’s own verified sources of truth instead of relying on information drawn from the open web. Satisfi Forward, the company's forward-deployed engineering and operations team, will connect those agents to Discover Puerto Rico's proprietary data sources across its website and marketing channels.

“Puerto Rico’s tourism industry is powered by businesses with incredible stories, experiences and expertise, but travellers do not always know how to find the ones that are right for them,” said Storm Tussey, Chief Marketing Officer of Discover Puerto Rico. “This platform is designed to close that gap by listening to what someone is actually looking for and connecting them with the Puerto Rico business best equipped to deliver it. For us, the goal is not simply to answer more questions. It is to turn those conversations into meaningful opportunities across the Island.”

Discover Puerto Rico will launch with agents built for two audiences. Leisure travellers will be matched with experiences, accommodations, and businesses based on their interests and preferences. Meeting and event planners will receive recommendations based on their program requirements, including venue and hotel needs, logistics and destination services.

"Every destination has its own systems, data, and partners, and having a world-class visitor experience only happens when it connects to all of them," said Dan Flores, Head of Tourism at Satisfi Labs. "Our Forward team will work hand in hand with Discover Puerto Rico to connect its data sources, bring in new data as it is added, and integrate agents into its new website rather than layering them on top. That will give travellers an experience that reflects how the destination actually operates.”

Discover Puerto Rico will maintain control of its knowledge graph, conversation data, and intent signals. This will allow the organisation to continue improving how the agents understand traveller and planner needs, refine how those needs are matched with Island businesses and preserve that intelligence as the platform evolves.

The knowledge graph will also be structured to make Discover Puerto Rico’s verified destination information more discoverable and citation-ready for external AI assistants and travel-planning tools.
