It could verify the amenities exist at that property. So. So creating a listing would be significantly easier. That's just one example. There's like dozens and dozens of examples like that.
Brian Chesky discusses Airbnb's plans to use AI across internal workflows, customer service, and host tools while specializing models and interfaces for travel and living. He also outlines growth prospects in experiences, services, and hotels, and argues that consumer AI remains an underdeveloped opportunity for entrepreneurs.
