Jake Z posted that Google began allowing hotel bookings inside AI Mode in August. The listed companies are Booking.com, Expedia, Marriott, Wyndham and IHG. He wrote that each name reached the feature through a signed agreement rather than organic search integration. The post frames the development as a business outcome for agent-driven reservations instead of broad AI search adoption in travel. A static line chart titled SHARE OF AI ASSISTANT WEB TRAFFIC accompanied the message. Connor Shorten retweeted the thread.
