We're looking at how online travel search is evolving and how AI is changing the game. For a long time travel sites have been interested in mimicking how travel advisors qualify clients: How to present travel options and ideas to people who don't yet know when or where they want to go. But some sites are now able to facilitate a conversation about travel inspo and why a traveler might want to travel -- thanks to generative AI.

In this episode, Saad Saeed, the CEO of Layla, a generative AI travel search interface, talks with editor at large Robert Silk and host Rebecca Tobin about how Layla works and what Saeed's team has uncovered about consumer habits and how people use AI prompts to research travel.
