With every summer vacation comes lots of planning to ensure a successful and enjoyable travel experience. Whether it’s choosing the ideal destination, weighing your transportation options or creating a shopping list of everything you’ll need, there’s a lot that goes into making the perfect summer trip a reality.
Thankfully, a simple Google search can help with that process, and with Google’s latest Search Labs experiments, travelers can easily find everything they’re looking for as they plan their next trip with the help of artificial intelligence (AI).
Google is experimenting with generative AI technology to help users save time in the search process and offer new tools that help travelers plan the perfect summer trip, near or far. From researching hotels and restaurants to deciding what to buy, Google’s Search Labs experiments can help you explore your destination, shop smarter and organize all your travel ideas in one place.
Plan & Discover
New capabilities of Google’s generative AI-powered experience (SGE) in Search Labs, includes gathering the most helpful travel information available from across the web, as well as from reviews, photos and Business Profile details submitted to Google for places all over the world, and putting all these resources into a single snapshot for the user to easily explore. Travelers will have access to helpful links, insights and other relevant information as they research landmarks, attractions, restaurants, hotels and more.
Shop Smarter
Additionally, Google’s AI experiments in Search Labs can assist travelers with their shopping searches. If you’re looking for a certain product to enhance your trip that can fit in your suitcase, a quick Google search will bring up an AI-powered snapshot featuring dozens of options, up-to-date prices, reviews, product images and other helpful factors to consider. The shopping experience is based on Google’s Shopping Graph, which features more than 35 billion product listings and refreshes more than 1.8 billion listings each hour for the most reliable results.
Create the Perfect Itinerary
When it comes to keeping track of all your travel plans and potential purchases, Google’s Add to Sheet experiment offers an easy way to keep everything organized. Instead of copying and pasting information you want to remember, the experiment allows you to insert a search result directly into a Google spreadsheet that you can share with friends and family or anyone else included in your travel plans.
