KAYAK, a leading travel search engine, has launched Ask AI, a new conversational travel planning experience designed to help travelers search, compare, and book trips more easily. This innovative tool combines the ease of artificial intelligence with the power of traditional search results, allowing users to plan their journeys in a chat interface while live flight, hotel, and rental car options update alongside the conversation.
Industry-First Conversational Travel Planning
Building on KAYAK's mission to make travel search more personalized and conversational, Ask AI is an industry first that lets travelers start planning their trip in a chat. The tool integrates real-time search results, so users can see up-to-date prices and bookable options from hundreds of travel partners without restarting searches or juggling multiple tabs.
The launch comes as searches for summer travel ramp up, with travelers taking more time to weigh options, track price changes, and adjust plans before committing to a booking. According to Matthias Keller, chief product officer at KAYAK, "After launching our first natural language search experience in October, we saw that travelers increasingly turn to AI to begin planning, but still depend on traditional search and filters to evaluate options and book with confidence. Ask AI is the next evolution, combining both in a single, seamless user experience."
Plan Your Summer Holiday with Ask AI
Whether you're piecing together a summer escape across several countries, trying to keep a family holiday on budget, or looking for a long weekend trip with flexible cancellation policies, Ask AI helps travelers move from inspiration to booking in one continuous experience. Users can describe what they need in their own words and see live, bookable options update alongside the conversation, maintaining the classic KAYAK search results they already know and trust.
With Ask AI, travelers can ask questions using natural language, refine their trip in real time, chat while results update live, and access up-to-date prices from multiple partners. This faster, more intuitive approach eliminates the need to restart searches or switch between tabs, offering a streamlined way to plan and book travel.
