Earlier this week, Expedia, an online travel brand, launched conversational trip planning powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT which can help travellers plan how to travel, places to visit, where to stay, and how to get around. Furthermore, the chatbot also saves the hotels discussed in the conversation under the “trip” section in the app, so that you don’t have to constantly try to remember a suggestion. This is a feature aimed at helping people stay organised.
