About this Tool

What is KAYAK AI?

KAYAK AI is an AI-powered travel planning and search solution by KAYAK, allowing travellers to search natural language for flights, hotels, rental cars and activities. Users can describe, instead of fill in, the search form and filters; and they can narrow down by talking about them.

KAYAK is leveraging conversational AI to its travel search information and live data from hundreds of travel providers. This will enable the users to inquire in detail about the destination, the date, the amount, the type of flight, the hotel, and the activities and receive an updated search result and a conversation.

Key Features of KAYAK AI

• AI Travel Search: Give a natural language description of your travel, instead of searching with a search bar.
• Real-Time Flight Search: View available flight fares, fare rules, baggage policies and layover information.
• Hotel Search: search for Hotel info by location, Hotel amenities, Dates and Budget.
• Car Rental Search: natural language search and comparison of cars.
• Activity Recommendations: Find out what you can do and where you can go at your destination.
• Budget, Interest, Travel Style, Dates: Ask for suggestions.
• Real Time Price Comparison: Hundreds of travel providers to compare prices and information in real-time.
• Conversational Refinement: Continue to refine the question and needs without continuing the search.
• With AI Travel Advice, ask general questions about places, neighborhood and policy, travel time and other travel related questions.

How KAYAK AI Works

It’s simple to get started with KAYAK AI:

1. Enter KAYAK AI and type in the journey you wish to go on.
2. Tell the AI what dates, budget, preferences and travel requirements you have.
3. Check out flight/ hotel / car / activity options it generates.
4. Raise more questions or alter your needs.
5. Review the results and choose the one that is most suitable for you.

The search results are updated as the conversation progresses to suit the special requirements of a trip, without having to make new searches over and over. KAYAK claims that its AI search is not just travel data that is stored in a cache.

Use Cases of KAYAK AI.

✈️ Flight Search

Find and compare the cost of flights based on their prices, dates, and other preferences, such as stopovers and baggage.

🏨 Hotel Search

Look for hotels that fit the needs in terms of a location, amenities, price or neighborhood.

🚗 Car Rental

Research rental cars and find a car for your dates and locations.

🗺️ Destination Discovery

Request the AI to recommend places according to your financial constraints, hobbies, traveling time or vacation style.

🎯 Personalized Travel Planning

Make a plan for a trip around an idea such as a romantic getaway, a road trip to discover new restaurants, a weekend getaway to the countryside, a cheap getaway, etc.

Pricing

KAYAK AI is available for free! Users can use this app’s AI-powered travel search service for free and without the need for any subscription.

Unlike KAYAK, which is a travel metasearch engine, users do not search and compare prices on KAYAK, but pay to KAYAK to complete bookings. Once a user clicks on an option, KAYAK directs them to one of the travel providers or booking partners and asks the user to fill out the booking.

Why Use KAYAK AI?

What’s most interesting about KAYAK AI is that it combines chat search with KAYAK’s travel comparison functions. Users will be able to ask their query in natural language, and still get the real flight search results, hotel booking search results, and car rental search results.

The other benefit being that you can tweak and modify your search. You can take multiple changes such as requesting a checked bag, a different weekend room rate, etc., without physically changing multiple filters and filters. The traveler can talk to the AI and make multiple changes without physically swiping through several filters.

Another point to consider when comparison shopping for travel is real-time pricing; airfare and accommodation rates can change.

So, what makes KAYAK AI successful?

KAYAK AI combines:

• AI travel search
• flight comparison
• hotel search
