(Reuters) – Airbnb said on Tuesday it has acquired GamePlanner.AI, a 12-person startup, for an undisclosed sum, amid rapid adoption of artificial intelligence that has taken the tech world by storm and pushed many companies to explore its uses.<\/p>\n

GamePlanner.AI was co-founded by Adam Cheyer, who was also one of the founders of Apple (NASDAQ:)’s voice assistant Siri.<\/p>\n

The startup will add to Airbnb’s existing set of AI technologies that include large language models, computer vision models and machine learning.<\/p>\n

“AI will rapidly alter our world more than any other technology in our lifetime,” Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said in the statement.<\/p>\n

CNBC, citing sources familiar with the matter, reported that the deal is valued at just under $200 million.<\/p>\n

Airbnb declined to share any additional details of the deal.<\/p>\n

Other travel companies, including Booking (NASDAQ:).com and Expedia <\/span><\/span> (NASDAQ:) 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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
