Guardforce AI announced the launch of DVGO Beta 2.0, its next‑generation AI travel‑planning agent, on November 5 2025. The new version builds on the original DVGO platform and adds advanced orchestration that lets the agent proactively generate recommendations, sync in real time with travel advisors and clients, and adjust itineraries through natural conversation and interactive map visualization. The company claims the upgrade cuts planning time from days to minutes, a dramatic efficiency gain for advisors who previously relied on manual research.
The launch marks a key milestone in Guardforce AI’s pivot from a secure‑logistics foundation to a technology‑platform business model. By expanding its AI agent portfolio, the company is positioning itself as a leading “RaaS” (robot‑as‑a‑service) provider in the growing travel‑technology market. The move is intended to shift the company’s revenue mix toward higher‑margin, recurring contracts, a strategy that CEO Lei (Olivia) Wang says is the tangible realization of Guardforce AI’s AI strategy.
Financially, Guardforce AI’s first half of 2025 saw a widened net loss, driven by sustained R&D investment and a decline in gross profit. Despite the loss, the company maintained a strong cash position, and its 2024 revenue grew modestly while losses narrowed. The new DVGO platform is expected to accelerate the company’s transition to a more profitable, subscription‑based model, though the company has yet to report specific revenue or margin figures for the beta launch.
To support the rollout, Guardforce AI is launching an Ambassador Program that will recruit 50 travel advisors as early adopters. The program is designed to co‑create and refine the platform, ensuring that the agent meets the nuanced needs of professional advisors and their clients. The initiative also signals Guardforce AI’s intent to capture a larger share of the competitive travel‑technology landscape, where firms such as Forian and Bragg Gaming Group vie for market dominance.
CEO Lei (Olivia) Wang said the launch “represents the tangible realization of our AI strategy and signals a shift toward higher‑margin, recurring revenue streams.” She added that the new agent will empower industry experts, reduce operational burdens, and enhance service precision and personalization. Analysts have expressed mixed views: some highlight the company’s AI strategy as a growth driver, while others caution about ongoing losses and the need for a clear path to profitability.
The announcement has been received with cautious optimism. While the company’s AI‑centric approach is praised for its potential to disrupt traditional travel‑planning workflows, investors and analysts note that Guardforce AI’s current financial trajectory—widened losses and a need for continued investment—remains a concern as the company works to convert its technology into sustainable revenue streams.
