TBPN
Airbnb CEO on Why AI Will Create a New Era of Consumer Products

question for you.

TBPN
Airbnb CEO on Why AI Will Create a New Era of Consumer Products

Before you say it, one of the things is the last time I was on, I did make a comment, and I'll make it again.

TBPN

Almost every AI company is an enterprise company.

TBPN

And the last stat I think I said on TBPN was like three months ago, and stats haven't changed.

TBPN
Airbnb CEO on Why AI Will Create a New Era of Consumer Products

I think it was 175 companies in a YC batch, and I think 16 were consumer.

TBPN
Airbnb CEO on Why AI Will Create a New Era of Consumer Products

That trend hasn't changed.

TBPN

Almost everyone is going into coding.

TBPN

Almost everyone's going to enterprise.

TBPN
Airbnb CEO on Why AI Will Create a New Era of Consumer Products

I think that's great.

TBPN
Airbnb CEO on Why AI Will Create a New Era of Consumer Products

My whole point, though, is that the consumer

TBPN

experience hasn't fundamentally changed that much being a chatbot, and I think the consumer is a massive opportunity for AI, and I think it's going to need to be a richer user interface.

TBPN
Airbnb CEO on Why AI Will Create a New Era of Consumer Products

I think people that want to do more things, they want it to be, I mean, modern AI today is text, photos, and buttons.

TBPN

mostly, in some videos.

TBPN

And I think there's a more breakthrough visual paradigm that can be much more immersive.

TBPN

And with the new image and video generation models, you could do something so much more immersive.

TBPN
Airbnb CEO on Why AI Will Create a New Era of Consumer Products

So the exact example you gave of trying to book a hotel, yeah, you can do it on chatbot, but there's probably some more breakthrough way to imagine that, to visualize it, to see the neighborhood, to see the map, to be able to talk to it, to understand where it is, to be able to compare photos, different hotels.

TBPN
Airbnb CEO on Why AI Will Create a New Era of Consumer Products

There's something, I think, richer on the horizon.

TBPN
Airbnb CEO on Why AI Will Create a New Era of Consumer Products

Yeah, maybe the simple framework is think about a travel journey.

TBPN
Airbnb CEO on Why AI Will Create a New Era of Consumer Products

Step one is destination discovery.

Where should I travel?
