Airbnb plans AI travel agent for launch in first half of 2027
The agent will assemble maps, photos, comparisons and itineraries around a traveller's question, and the company tied the plan to 19% growth in third-quarter revenue.
Airbnb says its AI travel agent will roll out in the first half of 2027.
The agent will build its interface around a traveller's question, using maps, photos, comparisons, calendars and itineraries instead of a plain chat window.
It will also help guests during a trip, including changing reservations, payment problems, refunds, rebooking and 24-hour safety support.
Airbnb reported third-quarter revenue of $4.87 billion, up 19%, and raised its 2026 revenue growth forecast to the high teens.
