Airbnb adds AI search, more social features

AnnouncementProductSep 30, 2026

Airbnb's fall product update introduces AI-powered property search and expanded on-the-ground services. Users can now search for properties via text or voice prompts, with dynamic filters generated from preferences, and compare wish-list properties through AI summaries and reviews. The update also expands services like meal delivery, laundry, and ski and boat rental in limited locations, and adds a map showing connections' past or upcoming trips. CEO Brian Chesky said the company will iterate AI search quickly in coming months.
