Ask KAYAK (almost) anything with ChatGPT-powered responses
STAMFORD, Conn., March 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, KAYAK, the
world's leading travel search engine, is dropping a new suite of AI
products to help make travel planning decisions faster, easier and
more intuitive. These innovations are the result of extensive
training of ChatGPT's AI model on KAYAK's proprietary database of
billions of consumer travel queries.
At the forefront of today's release is KAYAK PriceCheck, a new
patent-pending price comparison tool. Anyone with KAYAK's app can
upload a screenshot of a flight itinerary from any site, and KAYAK
will quickly check hundreds of sites to verify they're getting a
great price.
"With today's launch of KAYAK PriceCheck, we're the only
leading metasearch brand letting users compare prices using only a
screenshot," said Matthias Keller,
Chief Scientist & SVP of Technology at KAYAK.
Also launching today is Ask KAYAK - the company's latest
AI-driven innovation designed to improve and personalize the search
experience. Ask KAYAK lets travelers use simple text entries to
search and refine their results.
Wondering where to go with your family for spring break that's
less than 3 hours from NYC and will cost less than $300 per person? Just Ask KAYAK and you'll get
family-friendly destinations a short-distance away that fit your
budget.
Travelers will also see a chat box in the results page where
they can input their specific hotel, car or flight requirements.
For example, they can enter "United, nonstop, morning departure,
<$500" and quickly see their
results. Ask KAYAK starts rolling out today and will soon be
available to all users in the US, UK and Canada with more markets to follow.
"We're diving deeper into solving complex travel issues more
quickly and simply with the launch of Ask KAYAK," said Keller. "The
addition of free form search to apply filters makes it easy for
travelers to get personalized results for their next trip."
But wait, there's more. KAYAK is also introducing the following
new ways to make travel planning easier:
- Check the scores. Our Provider Quality Scores gives
travelers greater confidence when booking a flight by rating
providers against a set of quality factors (like price accuracy,
customer service, fee transparency and customer satisfaction).
Scores are for Online Travel Agencies (OTAs) only.
- Compare ticket options to get what you want. View all of
your options even more easily, like what is and what is not
included in your flight ticket, when deciding between a basic
economy, economy, premium economy or business class ticket for your
US domestic flight.
- KAYAK Trips - now with live updates. With a new
simplified itinerary view, KAYAK Trips keeps all your travel plans
in one place - no matter where you booked. Now, not only can you
build your itinerary through automatic inbox syncing, but you can
also get real-time travel updates on your home/lock screens (on
iOS).
- Passwords are so 2023. Passkeys are a more secure and
user-friendly way to sign in to KAYAK. In fact, since implementing
passkeys and ditching passwords, KAYAK reduced the average time it
takes users to sign-up and sign-in by 50%.
