Brian Chesky interview: AI agents need their own operating system | TechCrunch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Airbnb rolled out its new AI-powered search this week as part of its fall update, a significant step for a company that has been slow and deliberate about AI. Co-founder and CEO Brian Chesky has said in the past that a chatbot-only interface is not fit for travel discovery. With more AI on the way to the Airbnb app, I caught up with Chesky over Zoom to talk about how the company is approaching it, where interfaces are headed, why consumer AI still isn’t working, and what role voice will play.

Google launches Fitbit Air in India, though its high price might deter the masses | TechCrunch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Google on Wednesday launched the screen-less Fitbit Air fitness tracker in India, but is pricing at ₹13,999 (roughly $146), ostensibly positioning it as a premium device.

As part of its fall product update, the company is adding services to the app it had launched last year, such as meal delivery, laundry, baby-gear rental, ski and boat rental in limited locations, and expanded grocery delivery. The second big feature is AI search. The company has taken a cautious approa
Instinct founder said more than 50% of transactions on the platform are travel-related | TechCrunch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Almost every AI tool’s demo shows a user sparring with the assistant to book travel, as it seems to be the most frequent use case. The viral Instinct agent is no different, as it sees more than 50% of transactions on the platform for travel, the company’s founder, Noah Shinn, said in a recent podcast. In an interview with investor Patrick O’Shaughnessy, Shinn also mentioned that the invite-only platform is approaching a billion dollars in annual transactions. He didn’t specify what the calculati
