I’m Luis Dias, an AI Solutions Architect at TUI, where I lead initiatives that harness the power of artificial intelligence to transform the travel experience. My work focuses on building practical, high-impact AI solutions — from our generative AI travel assistant for the UK market to an internal AI agent builder designed to empower non-technical users.

I’m especially passionate about multi-agent workflows and their potential to tackle complex challenges, including tasks like code generation.

I hold a PhD, and when I’m not experimenting with new machine learning ideas, you’ll likely find me teaching in master’s and post-graduate programs, writing, or diving into a side project to push the boundaries of what AI can do.

I am passionate about teaching, product strategy and product management.
I am full of energy when I get to organize sessions for stakeholders to come up with ideas, roadmaps, solutions for improving the "as-is" situation. I am often praised for my ability to connect multiple levels across organizations in aligning needs to go forward. Because of my experience as a teacher I have a tendency to teach the people I work with everything I know, instead of quickly doing it for them.

This is reflected in my personal ‘Start with Why’ statement:

I believe we can change the way people see the world.
By helping them develop self-steering capabilities to become masters of their own learning journey.
I do this by providing dynamic, engaging sessions and by continuously sharing all that I know.
