Sabre opens travel infrastructure to Silicon Valley developers building the next Voice AI agents powering the complete trip at Bay Area hackathon
Sabre (NASDAQ: SABR) will co-host the DeepLearning.AI Voice AI Hackathon: The Complete Trip on July 18 in Silicon Valley, bringing together developers to explore how agentic travel and voice AI can help remove friction from the end-to-end traveler experience. Sabre pioneered one of the travel industry's first open developer ecosystems, and today it's challenging developers to build agents using its APIs to pull an itinerary into a single conversation, all booked and managed by voice AI.

The July 18 event in Mountain View will challenge developers to build travel AI agents using Sabre production APIs, Vocal Bridge voice AI technology and support from partners including American Airlines, PayPal, DeepLearning.AI, LandingAI and AI Fund. MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sabre (NASDAQ: SABR) will co-host the DeepLearning.AI Voice AI Hackathon: The Complete Trip on July 18 in Silicon Valley, bringing together developers to explore how agentic travel and voice AI can help remove friction from the end-to-end traveler experience. Sabre pioneered one of the travel industry's first open developer ecosystems, and today it's challenging developers to build agents using its APIs to pull an itinerary into a single conversation, all booked and managed by voice AI. As AI agents across every industry move from answering questions to completing tasks, travel is a natural test case for complex innovation because the experience depends on coordination across multiple systems, suppliers and moments of service. A typical trip can involve a flight, hotel, rideshare, dinner reservation, event ticket and multiple confirmation emails, each managed through a different system. The hackathon challenges developers to build voice agents that can connect these pieces more naturally. Sabre's technology has been used to power the travel industry for decades – including touching a third of all flights booked globally – giving developers access to production-grade travel infrastructure rather than a simulated environment. Connecting the trip Participants will imagine and demonstrate how flights, lodging, ground transportation, dining and other travel experiences could be managed through a single AI interaction via voice. The goal is to move beyond standard chatbot scenarios and test agents that can respond in higher-stakes travel moments – for example, helping resolve a hotel issue after a late-night arrival or assisting with a flight disruption when phone-based support remains the only available path. The technology stack Developers will build on Sabre's Agentic APIs and MCP Server, with sandbox access provided for the event, and will use Vocal Bridge's voice-first developer tools to add a production-grade voice layer to their agents. PayPal APIs will also be available for teams that want to incorporate payments into their builds. Additionally, American Airlines content will be available through Sabre's sandbox. Together, the tools give participants a way to test voice agents against travel data, booking flows and payment scenarios in a single build environment.
