Kayak recently introduced their AI Mode. This groundbreaking addition makes booking travel even easier by allowing customers to ask questions and receive assistance from an embedded AI chatbot directly on the company’s website. This pioneering tool makes online booking a breeze. Consumers tend to experience the process as a nuisance, and this fix would reach consumers’ most frequent criticism.
AI Mode will be available initially in English to users located in the United States. We’re looking forward to rolling it out to additional countries and languages as soon as later this month. Kayak’s move is the opening salvo in an ambitious plan. Above all else, they’re keen to understand how artificial intelligence can reshape the travel industry for the better. In April, the company unveiled Kayak.ai, a program designed to help the public experiment with AI tech.
Travel companies and their respective AI providers have turned their attention toward ways in which this technology can create more efficient, effective, and engaging user experiences. Kayak just rolled out AI Mode to supercharge your travel planning experience. Their focus is using cutting-edge technologies to highest levels of customer service to their customers. By allowing users to interact with an AI chatbot, Kayak hopes to answer common travel queries and assist with comparing and booking flights, hotels, and cars more efficiently.
As a response to these complexities that come with achieving an online booking, which can sometimes be cumbersome and daunting, their new feature was created. Kayak’s AI Mode appears to deliver on that front by delivering instant answers to user questions.
