How Does Google Search Labs Plan Travel?
Search Labs, a free Google service that’s AI-powered, can be used to get personalized suggestions for several topics, including travel ideas and online shopping. The platform is currently adding names to its waitlist.
Since it’s a recently-launched capability, the interactive trip planner is available in the United States in English. Users can access it using the Android or iOS app or Chrome desktop.
Once applicants are accepted, they can request insights and travel ideas for domestic or international itineraries. The service can make personalized recommendations for over 200 million places around the world after collecting data points through the following sources:
- Official websites
- Customer reviews
- Photos
- Business profile details on other Google products
The research experience is still in “beta mode.” Search results can become more accurate as more people use the platform, and the generative AI technology learns the details travelers value most.
This platform has the potential to be more conversational than a chatbot yet requires less communication. It’s shaping up to be a competitive alternative to the best ChatGPT plugins for travel as you’re not restricted to a particular third-party booking site and can perform general search queries.
Google Search Travel Examples
Some of the sample suggestions this travel research tool can produce include the following:
- Restaurant recommendations: Establishments known for a particular dish or dining experience. It can also help identify places that are friendly to large groups, children, or animals.
- Tourist attractions: The best times to visit to either avoid heavy crowds or to enjoy special events.
- Trip itineraries: Attractions to visit or experiences for a one-day or multi-day getaway.
In addition to these capabilities, you can continue using Google Flights to research the best flight prices and travel schedules. With its current search features, Google can also recommend hotels and car rental agencies, although the research can require more effort.
Final Thoughts
This AI-powered travel research platform helps combine the data and traveler reviews that Google already categorizes for travel destinations. Instead of visiting several platforms or having multiple search tabs, you can get in-depth recommendations with a single request. If you’re an early adopter of new technology and love to travel, this tool can add excitement quickly.
