GuideGeek Technology Delivers 'Frankie,' an AI Assistant for Frisco for Visitors Ahead of FIFA World Cup26™

FRISCO, Texas, Feb. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Visit Frisco has launched Frankie, a new AI–powered assistant designed to help travelers quickly plan their trip and navigate all that Frisco, Texas has to offer. Seamlessly integrated into Visit Frisco's website, Frankie uses GuideGeek artificial intelligence technology from Matador Network to deliver curated recommendations, trip–planning support and real–time answers to visitor questions.

Frankie's kickoff comes as Frisco prepares to welcome an influx of domestic and international guests for major events surrounding the FIFA World Cup 26™.

A Smarter, Faster Way to Explore Frisco

Frankie appears as a discreet soccer–ball avatar on the bottom-right corner of visitfrisco.com, offering users an intuitive, conversational way to explore the destination. The AI can provide full custom itineraries and answer any question about visiting Frisco, such as recommending hotels, restaurants, shops, attractions and upcoming events. It also provides links, photos, maps and the option to contact the Visit Frisco team directly for additional guidance.

Frankie relies primarily on content sourced from Visit Frisco's website and is aligned with the organization's marketing pillars, voice and tone. Travelers can tell Frankie their needs and preferences and receive unique responses specifically tailored to helping them plan their perfect trip.

Preparing for Global Visitors

"Frisco is gearing up to welcome visitors from around the world, and Frankie helps us meet that moment with innovation and hospitality," says Marla Roe, Executive Director of Visit Frisco. "This tool gives travelers instant access to the information they need while giving our team deeper insights into visitor interests, behaviors and the types of experiences they're seeking. It's a great assist for our guests and a scored goal for our partners."

While Frankie was developed with World Cup visitors in mind, the AI assistant will continue supporting travelers, meeting planners and locals long after the tournament concludes.

GuideGeek Technology Already Delivering Insights

The integration also enhances Visit Frisco's ability to surface partner information, understand visitor demographics, and create additional touchpoints for first–party data collection. GuideGeek's analytics show strong early engagement, with users spending an average of 2 minutes, 27 seconds interacting with Frankie. High–frequency requests include event details, parking and transportation, and recommendations for things to do in the area.
