Google's AI Now Books Your Flights and Hotels

Google is upgrading its AI Mode search tool to track flight prices, help book hotels, and manage other parts of trip planning—turning it into a de facto travel agent. For small business owners, this is a preview of where all major AI tools are heading: from just answering questions to actually completing tasks and transactions for you. If you run a business that involves travel, bookings, or customer service, expect your customers (and competitors) to start using AI assistants that handle entire tasks end-to-end, not just search. It's worth exploring how these free, increasingly capable AI tools could save you time on business travel or even hint at how AI assistants might soon handle bookings and logistics within your own business.
