At THE FLAG, we’re putting AI into practice

Our Trace Agent automatically turns guest requests from reservation comments into actionable tasks in Sweeply, helping hotel teams work more efficiently and reducing manual effort in day-to-day operations.

For hoteliers, this means clear operational benefits:

✔️ Around 30 tasks generated per day

✔️ Approximately 3.5 hours saved per week

✔️ Less manual data transfer between systems

THE FLAG Zürich is the first property to implement this solution, with further expansion planned across other properties.

What would happen if an agentic AI took over 8% of a hotel’s daily operations?

For our client Regiohotel, that’s exactly what happens. Their custom AI phone agent, built on our open platform and MCP server, automatically handles incoming requests, delivers immediate responses to guests, and tracks tasks for the team to resolve. This seamless integration not only boosts operational efficiency but also generates real bookings, all through AI-powered interactions.

For hoteliers, this means:

⭐ 30% of phone-based business automated

⭐ Real bookings generated through AI-driven interactions

⭐ Reduced staff workload, enabling more personalized guest experiences

See what working at Valiton is all about

What do an astrophysicist, an economic geographer, an economist and a microbiologist have in common? Exactly - they all work in Valiton's business performance team and deal with data science.

In the video, Christian, Angelika, Matti and Dennis explain what they are currently working on, how artificial intelligence can be used to predict future consumer behavior and how natural language processing can be used to optimize e-commerce platforms - and what working at Valiton is all about.

Core tech stack, publisher brands

Burda’s digital publisher brands, which include Focus Online, Chip and Bunte.de, are being united under the BurdaForward subsidiary. The various brands are decentralised and, for historical reasons, have their own IT architectures and developer teams who work with different programming languages.


Organised into “Jobs to be Done” teams, BurdaForward is no longer structured according to brands and products, but based on the jobs that the products perform for users. The “Content Technologies” team offers the individual “Jobs to be Done” teams a central content platform – a technical foundation. Job teams can work completely independently of the content platform, draw on complete services, or develop their own features on the content platform stack. All technologies used will be unified into a core tech stack that will be made available to the developers on the job teams.

Stop Googling Git Commands. Start Actually Learning Git.
Every developer has been there. You’re mid-flow, about to push a feature branch, and you need to undo your last three commits without blowing up the remote history. So you do what you always do: you open a new tab, type “git reset vs git revert”, ski...
