Price agent

The Price agent — total trip cost, fees, flexibility

Compares total price, fees, taxes, deal quality, cancellation flexibility, and cheaper equivalent alternatives.

Direct answer

Compares total price, fees, taxes, deal quality, cancellation flexibility, and cheaper equivalent alternatives.

What it does

The Price agent doesn't just compare nightly rates — it computes total trip cost including fees, taxes, breakfast, parking, taxi, and optional extras. It scores deal quality (vs typical price for that hotel) and flexibility (refundability, change fees). Where a cheaper equivalent exists, the Price agent surfaces it.

Frequently asked

What does the Price agent actually do?

Compares total price, fees, taxes, deal quality, cancellation flexibility, and cheaper equivalent alternatives.

Does it run on every search?

Yes. The orchestrator dispatches all 10 agents in parallel for every search. Each agent has a time budget; if one runs slow, partial results stream into the UI while it finishes.

What if it can't find an answer?

It returns 'unknown' with confidence. The ranking engine uses the absence of evidence as a signal — a hotel where the Amenities agent can't validate Wi-Fi will rank lower than one where it can.

Where do I see this in production?

app.impt.io. The Swarm UI surfaces what each agent found — Phase 1 build in progress.
