AMA HOST WILL GO LIVE ON MAY 7TH @ 11AM EST
Hello everyone! Matthias here. As Chief Product Officer at KAYAK, I lead our AI initiatives and development of intelligent travel interfaces.

First thing I'll say is that AI in travel is deceptively complex. Many companies claim to have "solved" it, but most solutions fall short in critical ways - either they don't access real-time pricing, they hallucinate travel information, or they create frustrating user experiences.

KAYAK.ai is our innovative AI search platform, powered by OpenAI, that transforms travel planning. It’s a test lab for tech enthusiasts, curating tailored flight and hotel options—whether you’re seeking a budget weekend in London, or beachfront Miami stays.

Enter two home cities and KAYAK Rendezvous will suggest new and exciting destinations to meet up with long distance partners, family and friends.

Desktop Escape by Kayak puts a rotating selection of 90 Instagram-worthy destination photos as a computer’s wallpaper with the current lowest airfare visible at the top.
