Smart Travel Card Connects the Pre-Departure Journey
Location-Based AI Enhances the Destination Experience
Direct Access to On-the-Ground Travel Support
Singapore, July 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Webuy Global Ltd (Nasdaq: WBUY) ("Webuy" or the "Company"), a technology-driven platform transforming travel services and social commerce across Southeast Asia, today announced the launch of its AI Agent-Assisted Smart Travel Card, a new travel technology initiative designed to support travelers across the full journey — from pre-departure preparation and payment to transportation, destination experiences and post-trip engagement.
The initiative applies AI Agent capabilities to selected travel workflows by combining AI-assisted decision-making, structured journey context, location-based detection, rules-based workflows and backend system integrations to provide more connected and context-aware travel services.
A customer journey can span weeks or months and involve numerous interactions, including preparation, transportation, itinerary management and destination services. Today, many of these interactions remain fragmented across messages, documents, applications and offline services.
Webuy's Smart Travel Card is designed to bring these interactions together.
Combining an NFC-enabled physical card with a personalized H5 interface, the platform provides travelers with a continuous digital connection throughout the journey without requiring a separate application.
The current H5 interface provides access to journey information, meeting-point guidance, direct guide contact, daily itineraries, bilingual support and location-based AI attraction commentary.
As one example of its AI Agent-assisted functionality, the Smart Travel Card uses location and itinerary context to determine when a traveler is within approximately 300 meters of a relevant attraction. The system then automatically displays corresponding attraction information and AI-assisted audio commentary through the H5 interface, allowing the traveler to choose whether to play the audio content.By connecting more of the customer journey through a single platform, Webuy believes it may be able to build a more continuous understanding of how travelers interact with its products and services.
Webuy believes this may support a long-term improvement cycle for the travel business: as more customers use the platform, the Company may gain deeper insights into traveler needs; those insights may help improve its AI Agents and products; and better experiences may support stronger engagement, referrals and repeat business.
