- Google AI Mode can now track flight prices and email you when fares change, with the feature available in more than 180 countries.
- AI Mode can show flight and hotel prices in points or miles, making it easier to see whether your travel rewards are worth using.
- Google is also adding hotel booking directly through AI Mode in the US, letting you choose a room and pay with Google Pay through supported partners.
We recently reported that Google made AI Mode in Search much more useful for trip planning. You could connect supported third-party apps, compare live flight and hotel information, look for recommendations, and even build an itinerary without constantly bouncing between different searches.
Now, the company is taking that a step further. AI Mode can keep an eye on flight prices for you, show what flights and hotels will cost in points or miles, and even help you book a hotel once you’ve found the right one. So, it’s moving beyond helping you plan a trip and getting much closer to helping you actually book it. The addition I suspect most people will appreciate is flight price tracking. Google Flights has offered price alerts for years, but Google is bringing the feature directly into conversations with AI Mode.
