Google is introducing new travel-related features to its artificial intelligence search results, including trip planning, reviews, and photos of destinations. This feature, called Search Generative Experience (SGE), provides AI-generated insights above the normal search results, offering everything from text summaries to day-by-day itineraries for trip planning. Users can opt-in to the SGE experiment as part of Google Search Labs to access these features.
Google’s standalone AI chatbot Gemini can provide information on travel, such as descriptions of locations, itineraries, and hotel details on Google Maps. By opting in to the SGE experiment, users can ask specific travel-related questions, and receive an overview of activities, dining options, flights, and hotel suggestions in real-time.
SGE works by analyzing information from over 200 million places, including cities, landmarks, museums, and restaurants, to help users plan their vacations more efficiently. Google’s AI models search and summarize key points from multiple websites, providing links for users to explore further. This feature is currently only available in English and in the U.S. to users with a personal Google account enrolled in Search Labs.
Overall, Google’s AI-powered travel features aim to simplify the trip planning process by offering curated suggestions, itineraries, and real-time booking information in one place. Users can easily access travel information, compare options, and learn more about their destination with the help of AI technology.
