New Ways to Plan Travel with AI in Search
The Future of Travel Planning
As the holiday travel season approaches, many of us are starting to think about our next big trip. Whether it's a family vacation, a romantic getaway, or a solo adventure, planning the perfect itinerary can be a daunting task. But what if you could get help building your travel plans with AI? With the latest updates from Search, you can now use AI-powered features to find the best deals, build customized itineraries, and even book your trips directly.
Building Your Travel Plans with Canvas in AI Mode
One of the most exciting new features in Search is Canvas, a tool that allows you to organize plans and projects over time. Now, you can use Canvas to build travel plans that are tailored to your specific needs. Simply tell AI Mode what type of trip you're planning and the recommendations you're looking for, then select the option to "Create Canvas." Right away, you'll get a plan in the Canvas side panel that brings together real-time Search data for flights and hotels, details from Google Maps like photos and reviews, and relevant information from sites across the web.
For example, let's say you're planning a trip to Paris and you want to stay in a hotel that's close to the Eiffel Tower. You can ask Canvas to show you hotels within a certain distance of the tower, and it will provide you with a list of options along with their prices and reviews. You can then refine your search by asking follow-up questions, such as "What's the best hotel for families?" or "Can you show me hotels with a view of the Eiffel Tower?"
Finding Airfare Bargains with AI-Powered Flight Deals
Another exciting new feature in Search is Flight Deals, an AI-powered search tool that's designed for flexible travelers who want to quickly find affordable destinations and save money on their next trip. To get started, simply describe where, when, and how you'd like to travel, and Flight Deals will use AI to understand what you're looking for and show the best bargains available.
For example, let's say you're looking for a flight from New York to Los Angeles, but you're flexible with your travel dates. You can ask Flight Deals to show you the cheapest flights for the next few weeks, and it will provide you with a list of options along with their prices and departure times. You can then refine your search by asking follow-up questions, such as "Can you show me flights with layovers?" or "What's the best airline for this route?"
Turning Plans into Bookings with Agentic AI
One of the most exciting aspects of Search's AI-powered features is the ability to turn plans into bookings directly. With agentic AI, you can describe what you're looking for and AI Mode will search across multiple reservation platforms and websites to find real-time availability for options that meet your criteria.
For example, let's say you're looking for a restaurant reservation in New York City. You can ask AI Mode to show you restaurants in a certain neighborhood, and it will provide you with a list of options along with their menus and reviews. You can then refine your search by asking follow-up questions, such as "Can you show me restaurants with outdoor seating?" or "What's the best restaurant for a romantic dinner?"
