KAYAK’s Post

Today we launched a new suite of AI-powered products that help make travel planning decisions faster, easier and more intuitive. The star of this show is our new patent-pending price comparison tool, KAYAK PriceCheck, that lets travelers vet a flight deal from any site by simply uploading a screenshot to our app. We’re also launching Ask KAYAK, which allows travelers to personalize their travel planning by asking KAYAK (almost) anything related to their trip, whether they’re just pondering new destinations or want to fine tune their search results to find the right hotel. Major shout out to all of our product, engineering and design teammates involved in today’s launch. Check it out: https://lnkd.in/ePfT84pH

Our LATAM marketing team is bringing the heat with their new campaign in Brazil: “Vai na Boa, Vai de KAYAK” (Just go ahead and chill, go ahead and use KAYAK).” This common Brazilian expression is all about embracing life with calmness and joy - and what better way to embrace those feelings than planning a trip with KAYAK.

Just gonna leave this one here as we continue to celebrate our latest AI feature drop… “Travel + Leisure inputted a Google Flights screenshot for a round-trip booking from New York to Seoul on Korean Air this spring. While the original price from the screenshot was $1,974, Kayak’s PriceCheck tool was able to find the same flight for as low as $1,830 on a competing site — resulting in nearly a $150 savings.”
