Tech Desk: Planning to travel, but confused about when the flight fares will reduce or which hotel will be better? Google is now preparing to answer these questions at one place with the help of AI. The company is adding new travel features to the AI mode of its search.
With the help of these features, users will be able to search for flights and hotels as well as keep an eye on their prices. The special thing is that for this the need to collect information by visiting different websites will be reduced. The user will be able to tell his needs through conversation with AI Mode and AI will help in finding options accordingly.
Flight ticket fares keep changing constantly. In such a situation, it is difficult for the passengers to decide whether to book the ticket now or wait for some time.
In Google's new feature, the user will be able to track the fare by giving information about the flight of his choice and the date of travel. He will be able to get information about any change in price. With this, it will be easier to take the decision to book tickets when the fare is lower.
In AI Mode, along with information to flights and hotels, information about Points and Miles will also be available. This facility will be especially useful for those who use airline or hotel reward programs.
AI will help in understanding how many Points or Miles may be required for booking a flight or hotel. Users will also be able to compare options for paying with cash and using reward points.
Choosing the right hotel during travel is also a challenge. Often one has to visit multiple websites to compare price, location, amenities and availability.
In Google AI Mode, the user will be able to directly express his needs. For example, he may ask about his budget, preferred location, and hotel amenities. AI will help in understanding and comparing different options. After this, the process of hotel booking can be proceeded through Google Search.
The biggest feature of this update is its conversational approach. That means the user will not need to do a new search by entering different keywords every time.
The user will be able to tell AI Mode like a normal conversation, where he wants to go, when he wants to go and what kind of flight or hotel he wants. Based on this, AI will help in travel planning.
This feature of Google is an attempt to bring different needs to travel in one place. This makes the process of finding flights and hotels, tracking prices and comparing available options easier than ever.
