Google Adds Flight Price Tracking, Hotels and Points Booking to AI Mode

Google says it's turning its AI functionality into a one-stop travel shop, and advisors should keep an eye on what clients can now do on their own and what they can't.

In a blog post on 27AUG, the company said it's turning on three new upgrades, including flight price tracking, the ability to see your current points and miles and even hotel booking directly through AI mode.

With Google’s latest AI update, users can get options from more than 300 airlines and travel sites by saying "track these flight prices for me." Google will email them when flight prices change.
