Google AI Mode 现可追踪机票价格、协助预订酒店等

Google 周四宣布，将为其对话式搜索体验 AI Mode 新增更多旅行规划和预订方式。用户现在可以要求 AI Mode 追踪机票价格、预订酒店，以及查看机票和酒店以积分或里程计价的成本。

这些更新表明，Google 正试图将 AI Mode 定位为某种 AI 旅行代理：它不再只是帮助用户查找信息，而是开始实际处理行程规划和预订流程中的部分环节。

用户现在可以向 AI Mode 描述希望出发的时间和地点，该工具将展示来自超过 300 家航空公司和旅行网站的最新价格及最佳可选方案。如果用户已准备好预订，可以直接在 AI Mode 中构建行程；如果想等待价格下降，则可以提出类似“帮我追踪这些机票价格”的请求。

随后，如果用户输入的目的地和日期对应的价格发生变化，他们将收到电子邮件提醒。AI Mode 的机票价格追踪功能现已在超过 180 个国家和地区推出。

在酒店预订方面，用户将能够通过与 AI Mode 对话来发现并预订下一家酒店。用户可以向 AI Mode 说明即将进行的旅行以及酒店偏好，从而获得包含评价和关键因素的选项列表。

找到心仪酒店后，用户可以要求 AI Mode 协助完成预订。随后，用户需要选择出现在 Google 集成合作伙伴旁边的“Continue on Google”选项；这些合作伙伴包括酒店连锁品牌和旅行网站。

之后，用户可以选择房间、查看取消政策等详细信息，并使用 Google Pay 完成预订。这家科技巨头指出，具体的预订及任何客户服务将由酒店或预订平台负责处理。

AI Mode 的酒店预订功能已开始在美国以英语推出，并将在未来数周内陆续支持 Booking.com、Choice Hotels International、Expedia、Hilton、Hotels.com、IHG Hotels & Resorts、Marriott International、Priceline、Trip.com 和 Wyndham Hotels & Resorts 提供的服务。

Google 还宣布，AI Mode 现在可通过类似“我想使用我的 AA 里程从亚特兰大前往迈阿密。请帮我寻找 10 月 9 日出发、10 月 12 日返回的直飞航班选项”这样的请求，显示机票和酒店所需的积分或里程成本。

随后，用户将看到预订符合条件的航班需要多少里程。这项更新现已在全球推出。

Google is adding new ways for users to plan and book trips through AI Mode, its conversational search experience, the company announced on Thursday. Users will now be able to ask AI Mode to track flight prices, book hotels, and see the cost of flights and hotels in points or miles.

The updates indicate that Google is looking to position AI Mode as an AI travel agent of sorts, as it’s moving beyond simply helping users find information to actually handling parts of the trip-planning and booking process itself.

Users can now describe to AI Mode when and where they want to fly, and the tool will display the best options available with the latest prices from more than 300 airlines and travel sites. If they’re ready to book, they can go ahead and build their itinerary in AI Mode. If they want to wait and see if prices drop, they can ask something like “track these flight prices for me.”

They’ll then get an email if prices change for the destination and dates they entered. Flight price tracking in AI Mode is now available in more than 180 countries.

As for hotel booking, users will be able to discover and book their next hotel through a conversation with AI Mode. Users can tell AI Mode about their upcoming trip and their hotel preferences to get a list of options alongside reviews and key factors.

Once they’ve found a hotel they like, they can ask AI Mode to help complete the booking. Then they need to select the “Continue on Google” option that will appear alongside Google’s integrated partners, which includes hotel chains and travel sites.

From there, they can choose their room, review details such as the cancellation policy, and complete the booking with Google Pay. The tech giant notes that the hotel or booking platform will handle the booking and any customer service.

Hotel booking in AI Mode has started rolling out in the U.S. in English and will be available over the coming weeks with offerings from Booking.com, Choice Hotels International, Expedia, Hilton, Hotels.com, IHG Hotels & Resorts, Marriott International, Priceline, Trip.com, and Wyndham Hotels & Resorts.

Google also announced that AI Mode can now display the cost in points or miles for flights and hotels by asking something like “I want to travel from Atlanta to Miami using my AA miles. Help me find some options for nonstop flights departing Oct 9 and returning on Oct 12”.

Users will then see how many miles they need to book matching flights. The update is now available globally.
