SkyNode AI addresses the increasing complexity and fragmentation of the global travel market. For frequent travelers, international competitors, and students, the dual challenge of finding the lowest fares while navigating intricate loyalty programs often leads to "decision paralysis" or missed financial opportunities. SkyNode AI serves as a dedicated digital architect that bridges this gap. Our solution utilizes machine learning to predict price trends and proactively syncs with user calendars to identify optimal booking windows for fixed-schedule events like holidays or competitions. Unlike traditional aggregators, SkyNode AI goes a step further by analyzing airline alliances (Star Alliance, SkyTeam, Oneworld) and credit card ecosystems to provide a comprehensive "Miles Strategy." This allows users to systematically accumulate points toward Business Class experiences at Economy costs. At its core, SkyNode AI prioritizes user security. By leveraging AMD Ryzen™ AI (NPU/GPU), the application processes sensitive personal data—including passport details, travel history, and financial preferences—locally on the edge. This ensures high-performance, low-latency interactions without compromising data privacy to third-party cloud providers, showcasing a practical and secure application of on-device LLMs.
