What Happened to Google’s AI Trip Planner? 


Skift Take

Google said that the tech is advancing quickly, and priorities change along with it.

Google is still adding AI tools that can help with travel, but a dedicated trip planner expected last summer is no longer on the roadmap, a Google spokesperson told Skift.

The tech giant showcased the trip planner during its annual developer conference in May 2024, and said it would be coming to Gemini Advanced that summer. Gemini Advanced is the paid version of the Gemini AI search engine, which the company released in March 2023 as a competitor to ChatGPT.

The trip planner is still on the group’s list of potential projects, but there’s no longer an official launch date, said the spokesperson. Regardless, it likely would be an evolved version from what was showcased almost a year ago.
