[Kerwin At AI Travel Pulse] AI Is Here To Stay

Hi AI Traveler,

If you’re new to the newsletter, welcome. If you’re a regular thank you for sticking with me ;-).

This week, I got an update for my Samsung phone and it included a version of Google’s Gemini in the update. You activate it by long pressing your power button. It’s a “scary” update as you can ask this AI anything in terms of travel or otherwise, you could already, but the results blew my mind. It is one of the many AI updates that has blown my mind all week. You could ask Gemini travel stuff before, but it’s updated and it’s now just a touch away. Have you noticed it and tried it?

I asked Gemini this:

Give me all the flights from New York to London

and it quickly gave it to me this using using Google Flights

I clicked the link and it took me to Google Flights and also displayed the information below.

You can then ask it to slice and dice this for you (and I did) and it WILL do it!

Why should you care? Well, the travel professional was completely our of the loop. So you as a travel professional need to put yourself into that loop, whether you like it or no.

What say you?
