TRAVEL · RESEARCH STAGE

Twenty years of a travel agency’s email, and nobody could search it

About 400,000 emails held the agency’s past quotes, suppliers and agreements. We set out to rebuild them into records where every fact links to the email it came from.

The answers sat in old email

The archive: about 400,000 emails nobody can search, hand-kept databases beside an export, and knowledge that stays with whoever held the thread. A new enquiry asks what was quoted before, and the archive gives no answer.

Knowledge stayed with whoever held the thread, and questions about past quotes could not be answered.

AI proposes, people decide

The memory agent proposes a supplier record with an evidence quote for every fact, code checks each quote against its email, and a person accepts the record. Illustrative workflow on sample data.

Nothing becomes final until a person accepts it. Lookup does not use AI; it returns past cases with reasons, or says plainly that there are none.

The project reached staging in July 2026 on a first few thousand threads. It was paused in August 2026 when the client turned to an ERP, never had a production user, and the code was removed in October 2026.
