You bring the audience. Helix handles the travel.
From online travel agencies (OTAs) to artist managers, event organisers and sports teams: put flights and hotels in front of the people you already reach. Organise travel for touring teams or help fans get to the show or match. Helix powers the branded booking experience; travellers choose and confirm.
Put it inside your iOS app, run it under your own brand, or connect your own agent to it. A ready-to-configure white label can go live in as little as a day once branding, supplier and payment setup are ready.
iOS SDK · Live
Helix, inside your app.
A white-label iOS SDK. Travel chat, search, booking and payment, in your brand, signed in as your user. Distributed with Swift Package Manager for iOS 16.4 and up.
No new login
Your sign-in is the only sign-in. Flights and hotels are found, compared and paid for inside the app people already trust, as themselves.
Looks like you
Fifteen colour tokens, four corner radii and one font, set for light and dark. Travel screens sit under your navigation bar, in your tab bar.
A new revenue line
Helix runs supply, payments, ticketing and servicing. Use your supplier keys, or Helix's. Your app can show the trip on its own home screen.
Your home screen
Your app knows about the trip.
Upcoming trip
A card on your home screen, read from the SDK, for the next trip.
The moment it books
A banner when a booking confirms, and a badge on your travel tab when something needs attention.
From the statement
Each booking carries its own statement suffix, so a card transaction can open that booking.
From a link or a push
Links in email and push notifications open the right screen inside your app.
Identity
Your sign-in is the only sign-in.
Your user id becomes their Helix account. A different user signs the previous one out and clears that session on the device. Sessions stay in memory, and the app re-vouches quietly when one expires.
- 01Open. Your app shows the Helix chat.
- 02Ask. The SDK asks your app for a short-lived assertion.
- 03Sign. Your backend signs one for the user already in your session.
- 04Exchange. Helix checks it and finds or creates that person’s account.
- 05Load. The product loads in your brand. Same user id, same account, every time.

Data
You choose how much your app sees.
- NothingThe default. Your app learns nothing about the trip.
- Ids and statusTrip and booking ids, kinds and statuses.
- Trip detailsAlso titles, places, dates, references, amounts and the statement suffix.
A brand switch turns the SDK off for your users within a minute. Signing out revokes the session and clears its data on the device.
Version 1.0
Search, book and pay. Today.
Version 1.0 searches, books and pays for flights and hotels, and opens a read-only booking sheet. It feels native: your navigation title, your back gesture, sheets in your colours. Bookings are a real-world service, paid with Apple Pay and card, not an in-app purchase.
Change and cancel inside the SDK, Android, and push delivery from Helix come next. You own your App Store submission.
Ways to build on Helix
One engine, six ways in
Put Helix inside your iOS app, under your brand, in your site, or behind your own agent. Early-access partners on the booking API and MCP server are set up in days, around their use case.
iOS SDK
Put Helix travel inside your iOS app: chat, search, booking and payment, in your brand, signed in as your user.
- Your sign-in, no second account
- Your colours, type and navigation
- Swift Package Manager, iOS 16.4+
White label
Run the Helix assistant as your own product, on your domain, with your logo, colours and emails.
- Your brand on web and in email
- Your payments account
- Per-brand guardrails, tested before launch
Bring your own keys
Book on your own supplier contracts and pay the supplier directly. Helix adds no margin to those bookings.
- Flight, hotel and payment accounts
- Your own AI model keys
- Each key approved before it goes live
Embeddable widget
Put Helix inside your own site with one script tag, so customers never leave your page.
- Inline or overlay
- Single sign-on from your site
- English, French, German, Dutch and Spanish
Booking API
A versioned API to search, hold, book and manage trips from your own product, with no Helix interface.
- Search, book, change and cancel
- Preferences and rules applied server-side
- Partner keys and usage reporting
MCP server
Helix search and booking exposed as Model Context Protocol tools, so any MCP-capable agent can complete a booking.
- Flights, hotels and events as tools
- Confirmation returned to the agent
- Works alongside the booking API

Request early accessFor personal AI agents
Your agent can plan the trip. Helix can book it.
Personal agents are getting good at knowing what their users want. Turning that into a ticketed flight or a confirmed room still takes supplier contracts, payments, fare rules, changes and cancellations. That is the part Helix already does, every day, for its own products.
The booking API and MCP server put that engine behind your agent. Your agent keeps the relationship with its user; Helix completes the booking and handles what happens after it.

The same engine that runs Helix Business and Helix Black
Whichever way you connect, your customers or your agent get the full booking engine.
Flights
Search, book, seats, bags and extras, then changes and cancellations in the same thread.
Hotels
Global hotel inventory with live availability, shortlisted rather than listed.
Events and activities
Tickets and activities, with a whole trip built around the event.
Preference memory
Helix learns how each person travels, and they can see and change what it has learned.
Rules while it searches
Budgets, policies and approvals are applied during the search, not after the booking.
Money handled in code
Pricing, payment and booking run in deterministic code. No language model sits between a choice and the supplier.
Chat and voice
Type or speak a request. Both run on the same engine.
People when needed
Requests that need judgement can escalate to a concierge team with the full context.
