What this case shows
Found by AI assistants
About half of customers now arrive through ChatGPT. AI assistants can look up real fares and send travellers a link that is ready to book.
AI automation with safeguards
Nearly 2,000 automated tests run before any change goes live, and specialist AI agents check every change.
Real payments, handled safely
Prices are worked out on the server, and a repeated payment request is charged only once.
The situation
Agencies ask us if software built with AI is ready for real customers. We answered by running a business on it.
MAPL Tours sells private airport transfers and tours in Jamaica. The site handles video browsing, live quotes, payments, driver dispatch and customer emails. It is not a demo. It takes real payments for rides run by a licensed transportation provider, so every mistake would be a real one.
What we built
AI agents write much of the code. Our engineering is in the rules that control what they can do.
Plan
A written project plan every AI agent reads before it changes anything, plus a lasting record of decisions.
Tests
Nearly 2,000 automated tests run before any change goes live.
Review
Specialist AI agents check every change, and a skeptic agent tries to prove their findings wrong.
Money
Strict payment safeguards: prices are worked out on the server, a repeated payment request is charged only once, and test orders stay apart from real ones.
AI assistants
MCP and WebMCP tools let AI assistants look up real fares and give travellers a link that is ready to book.

What changed
What it proves
- Software built with AI can handle real money when the safeguards are built in, not hoped for.
- When AI assistants can look up a service directly, they can send people straight to booking it.

Why this matters if your clients ask about AI
AI assistants are already finding your clients, or missing them. We build sites and tools these assistants can read and recommend. We know how because our own business depends on it.
