Kayak introduces ‘AI Mode’ to boost conversational travel search

New Delhi, Oct 18 (UNI) Kayak, the world’s leading travel search engine, launched its ‘AI mode’, which is a natural-language search experience that combines Kayak’s data with ChatGPT, an official statement said.
This integration is intended to deliver smarter and contextual results to the customers. Basically, it is the first major travel site to let users plan complete trips by typing questions directly into the search box.
Steve Hafner, CEO of Kayak, said, “We launched Kayak.ai in April for our software engineers to test cutting-edge AI capabilities. AI Mode is the first feature to graduate to our main site. Travelers aren’t limited to the present entry fields anymore. Just tell us what you’re looking for in plain language, and we’ll answer the same way.”
Moreover, the debut of Kayak AI Mode comes at the perfect moment for holiday travel planning, as Kayak data shows that mid-October through early November is the prime window for scoring the best holiday travel deals.
Kate Williams, Kayak Travel Trends Expert & CCO, said, “Holiday flight prices are trending below last year, but, with search demand up 10 pc vs 2024, travelers shouldn’t wait to book. This year’s sweet spots may surprise you – November 24 is the cheapest day to fly for Thanksgiving at USD 415 on average, and Christmas Eve offers the best deals ahead of Christmas for both domestic and international trips. With AI Mode, travelers can quickly surface insights like these and plan smarter without the stress.”
AI Mode is now available in English on Kayak via desktop and mobile browsers in the US, with more languages and countries rolling out later this month.
