## Why FlyAI?

You're deep in a conversation with your AI coding agent — planning a trip, researching venues, comparing options. FlyAI lets you **search real-time travel inventory without leaving your terminal**. It connects [Claude Code](https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code), [OpenClaw](https://github.com/nicepkg/openclaw), and other skill-compatible agents to [Fliggy](https://www.fliggy.com/)'s massive travel platform (part of Alibaba Group), giving you structured, bookable results in seconds.

- **Natural language in, structured data out** — ask in plain English or Chinese, get JSON you can pipe, filter, or render
- **Eight specialized search commands** — broad discovery, AI-powered semantic search, or deep comparison, your call
- **Bookable results** — every result includes direct booking links
- **Zero config to start** — works out of the box, optional API key for enhanced results

## Quick Start

### Step 1 — Install the Skill

**OpenClaw:**

```bash
# via clawhub (Recommended)
clawhub install flyai

# or via npx
npx skills add alibaba-flyai/flyai-skill
```

**Claude Code:**

```bash
cp -r /path/to/flyai-skill/skills/flyai ~/.claude/skills/flyai
```

### Step 2 — Install the CLI

```bash
npm i -g @fly-ai/flyai-cli
```

### Step 3 — Verify

```bash
flyai keyword-search --query "things to do in Tokyo"
```

You should see structured JSON output. You're good to go.

### Step 4 — Configure (optional)

The skill works without any API keys. For enhanced results, set one up:

```bash
flyai config set FLYAI_API_KEY "your-key"
```

## Commands

FlyAI provides eight commands, each tailored to a different search pattern:

| Command | Purpose | Required Params |
|---------|---------|-----------------|
| `keyword-search` | Natural-language keyword search across all travel categories | `--query` |
| `ai-search` | Semantic search — understands complex intent for highly accurate results | `--query` |
| `search-flight` | Structured flight search with deep filtering | `--origin` |
| `search-train` | Structured train ticket search with deep filtering | `--origin` |
| `search-hotel` | Structured hotel search by destination | `--dest-name` |
| `search-poi` | Attraction & POI search by city | `--city-name` |

| `search-marriott-package` | Marriott Group hotel package search | `--keyword` |

### `keyword-search` — Broad Discovery

One query, all categories. Hotels, flights, tickets, tours, cruises, visas, SIM cards — it searches everything.

**OpenClaw:**

```
/flyai keyword-search --query "Hangzhou 3-day trip"
/flyai keyword-search --query "France visa"
/flyai keyword-search --query "Shanghai cruise"
```

**Claude Code:**

```
/flyai keyword-search --query "Hangzhou 3-day trip"
/flyai keyword-search --query "France visa"
/flyai keyword-search --query "Shanghai cruise"
```

**CLI:**

```bash
flyai keyword-search --query "Hangzhou 3-day trip"
```

### `ai-search` — Semantic Search

AI-powered semantic search that understands natural language and complex travel intent. Supports hotels, attractions, flights, trains, and mixed queries.

**OpenClaw / Claude Code:**

```
/flyai ai-search --query "3-day trip to Hangzhou for Labor Day, budget 2000 per person, want to stay near West Lake"
/flyai ai-search --query "Direct flight from Shanghai to Tokyo next week, find good value flights and hotels"
```

**CLI:**

```bash
flyai ai-search --query "3-day trip to Hangzhou for Labor Day, budget 2000 per person"
```

### `search-flight` — Flight Comparison

Structured flight search with sorting, cabin class, price caps, and time filters.

**OpenClaw / Claude Code:**

```
/flyai search-flight --origin "Beijing" --destination "Shanghai" --dep-date 2026-04-15
```

## Featured Use Cases

### Weekend Getaway Planning

> "Find me a weekend trip from Shanghai — cheap flights, a nice hotel near the beach, and some fun things to do"

FlyAI chains `search-flight`, `search-hotel`, and `search-poi` to give you a complete trip plan with prices and booking links.

### Budget Flight Hunting

> "What's the cheapest direct flight from Beijing to Bangkok in May?"

```
/flyai search-flight --origin "Beijing" --destination "Bangkok" --dep-date-start 2026-05-01 --dep-date-end 2026-05-31 --journey-type 1 --sort-type 3
```

### Group Trip Coordination

> "Compare 4-star hotels in Sanya with twin beds for under ¥500/night, sorted by rating"

```
/flyai search-hotel --dest-name "Sanya" --hotel-stars 4 --hotel-bed-types "双床房" --max-price 500 --sort rate_desc
```

### Train Trip Planning

> "Find a direct high-speed train from Beijing to Shanghai next Tuesday, second class"

```
/flyai search-train --origin "Beijing" --destination "Shanghai" --dep-date 2026-04-07 --journey-type 1 --seat-class-name "second class" --sort-type 3
```

### Smart Trip Planning with AI Search

> "Plan a 3-day Hangzhou trip for Labor Day, budget 2000 per person, want to stay near West Lake"

```
/flyai ai-search --query "3-day Hangzhou trip for Labor Day, budget 2000 per person, stay near West Lake"
```

### Marriott Hotel Deals

> "Find Marriott afternoon tea packages in Shanghai"

```
/flyai search-marriott-package --keyword "Shanghai" --sort-type price_asc
```

### Local Exploration

> "What are the top nature attractions in Guilin?"

```
/flyai search-poi --city-name "Guilin" --category "自然风光" --poi-level 5
```

## Examples

### OpenClaw

Just type naturally in OpenClaw — FlyAI activates automatically on travel queries:

> Find me direct flights from Beijing to Shanghai next Friday under ¥600

> Compare 5-star hotels near the Bund in Shanghai for this weekend

> What are the top attractions in Chengdu? I'm interested in nature and history

Or use the slash command directly:

```
/flyai search-flight --origin "Beijing" --destination "Shanghai" --dep-date 2026-04-25 --max-price 600
```

### Claude Code

Ask naturally or use the `/flyai` slash command inside Claude Code:

> I'm planning a 5-day trip to Japan — search for visa info, flights from Shanghai, and hotels in Tokyo

> Find concerts and live events happening in Hangzhou

```
/flyai keyword-search --query "5-day Japan trip from Shanghai"
/flyai ai-search --query "Best direct flights and hotels for a week in Tokyo"
/flyai search-flight --origin "Shanghai" --destination "Tokyo" --dep-date 2026-05-01 --sort-type 3
/flyai search-train --origin "Shanghai" --destination "Hangzhou" --dep-date 2026-05-01
/flyai search-hotel --dest-name "Tokyo" --check-in-date 2026-05-01 --check-out-date 2026-05-06
/flyai search-poi --city-name "Tokyo" --category "地标建筑"
/flyai search-marriott-hotel --dest-name "Tokyo" --check-in-date 2026-05-01 --check-out-date 2026-05-06
/flyai search-marriott-package --keyword "Shanghai"
```

## How It Works

```
You ask your agent ──→ FlyAI Skill activates ──→ flyai-cli runs ──→ Fliggy MCP API
                                                                         │
You see rich results ←── Agent formats markdown ←── JSON response ←──────┘
```

- **Runtime**: Node.js
- **Output**: Single-line JSON to `stdout`, errors/hints to `stderr`
- **Context isolation**: Each command runs in its own execution context
- **Pattern matching**: Intent-based activation at priority 90 — the agent automatically routes travel queries to FlyAI
