Reviews from the 9292AI evaluations were unanimously positive:
• “This submission was spot-on in the sense that it really adds value to 9292's existing services, with hot topic voice. Working demo with a lot of detail and "real" travel advice was decisive for number 1 position, CO2 impact of travel and on-the-fly business models with goodies at certain locations, that was also discussed. The fact that you could adjust the AI voice in various languages with the gamified collection of coins: that was conceptually a strong example that actually left us wanting more, which is a good sign.”
• “The concept and the already developed demos are certainly promising and worth exploring further for 9292. In my opinion, the conceptual and actually used AI of this team is the deciding factor in making them the winner. […]”
