Perk Launches AI Assistant Integration for Travel Booking and Expense Management
Perk (formerly TravelPerk) announced it is the first platform to let customers book and manage trips, submit expenses, and create team events from AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT. Its MCP server turns from an insight tool into an action engine, tackling shadow work. Out-of-policy bookings and expenses go to the company's approval flow. Perk Agent for Slack is coming in September.
