GamePlanner.AI was co-founded by Adam Cheyer, who was also one of the founders of Apple's voice assistant Siri. The startup will add to Airbnb's existing set of AI technologies that include large language models, computer vision models and machine learning. "AI will rapidly alter our world more than any other technology in our lifetime," Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said in the statement. Other travel companies, including Booking.com and Expedia have also made efforts to integrate AI to their existing technologies in an attempt to enhance customer-booking experiences and create more suitable itineraries and suggestions.

☆ Airbnb acquires AI startup for just under $200 million
  + stars: | 2023-11-14 | by ( Jasmine Wu Deirdre Bosa | Jasmine Wu | Deirdre Bosa | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Airbnb has made its first acquisition as a public company, in a deal valued at just under $200 million, sources familiar with the deal told CNBC. The startup is called Gameplanner.AI, which has been in "stealth mode" since its founding in 2020. Startups in stealth mode operate out of the public eye for various reasons, such as to protect intellectual property or avoid distractions. Airbnb's news follows reports that Google is in talks to invest hundreds of millions into another AI startup, Character.AI, which in March raised a $150 million at a $1 billion valuation in a funding round led by Andreessen Horowitz. The startup lets people create virtual characters or chat with AI versions of celebrities like Elon Musk or Albert Einstein.
