Easier Vacation Planning with AI

It will soon be easier to plan your next vacation from start to finish with artificial intelligence.

New Features of Bard AI for Travelers

Google’s Bard AI service recently rolled out several new features that will benefit travelers in various aspects, including the trip itself. Bard is a conversational artificial intelligence service, similar to ChatGPT, that turns into a personal concierge by integrating with a user’s data.

Moreover, Google announced that Bard can now be integrated with different Google products—such as Gmail, Google Flights, and Google Maps—providing seamless communication with the AI service. For instance, you can create prompts to determine flight duration, preferences, and distance between multiple destinations.

Seamless Trip Planning with Bard

In a blog post by Yury Pinsky, Bard’s director of product management, an example illustrates how Bard can facilitate trip planning: “If you’re planning a trip to the Grand Canyon, you can now ask Bard to retrieve the dates that work for everyone from Gmail, find real-time flight and hotel information, obtain Google Maps directions to the airport, and even watch YouTube videos of attractions—all in one conversation.”

Furthermore, linking Google Flights with Bard enables travelers to discover discounts on flights and explore additional destinations. Consequently, Google Flights recently introduced new tools that predict the optimal time to secure the best deals on flights.

Availability of Bard AI

For those eager to explore the capabilities of Bard, the AI service is currently available for free at bard.google.com.

In conclusion, the rise of artificial intelligence within the travel industry is notable, with companies leveraging tools like Bard to streamline the vacation planning process. As AI continues to evolve, it promises to enhance the travel experience for many.
