Le Travenues Technology (ixigo) 's train-ticketing platform ConfirmTkt has announced the launch of AI Seat Finder, an intelligent, in-app feature powered by TARA — an AI-native agent developed by ixigo. The announcement was made on 8th May 2026 from Gurugram/Bengaluru, marking a significant step in the platform's effort to simplify confirmed train ticket discovery for travellers across India. The development was disclosed to stock exchanges in compliance with the applicable provisions of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.
AI Seat Finder: A Conversational Approach to Train Ticketing
Integrated seamlessly into the ConfirmTkt app, AI Seat Finder (powered by TARA) activates as soon as a user begins searching for trains. The feature analyses real-time availability and guides users towards the best possible travel options through a conversational interface. In a category where millions of users drop off due to waitlists or lack of clarity, the feature introduces a fundamentally new way to discover and book train tickets by combining real-time data with conversational AI. Key capabilities of the feature include:
- Highlighting trains with confirmed seats
- Suggesting train alternatives across routes, boarding points, and departure times
- Enabling conversational queries such as "Show me confirmed train tickets after 5 PM" or "Which trains with confirmed seats will reach the earliest?"
- Transforming a traditionally fragmented, multi-step booking experience into a simple, guided journey
The feature is available in Hindi and English, designed to serve travellers across India, including those in non-metro and high train-traffic regions.

Leadership Commentary
Dinesh Kumar Kotha, CEO, ConfirmTkt & ixigo Trains, commented on the launch: "Getting a confirmed train ticket in India has always involved a degree of uncertainty and effort. With AI Seat Finder (powered by TARA), we are reimagining this experience by making it conversational and outcome-driven. Instead of navigating multiple options and screens, users can now simply express their intent and let the app guide them to the best possible journey. This is a significant step in our vision of building an AI-first travel experience that is simpler, more accessible and truly built around the needs of Indian travellers. We're also excited to continue our partnership with RCB for the third year, bringing this innovation to millions of fans during the cricket season."
