They have been growing so much in the past five years and there are actually a lot of teams apparently called microteams that have one to two reports and part of the effort here is to cut those micro teams in half and as a result there will be twenty percent fewer managers.
And in you know, the CEO's note today, uh he talked about internal surveys of you know, people complaining that you know they're doing a lot more coordination and alignment versus just
including things.
So this is really an effort to, you know, make the organization simpler and faster.
Yes.
Um obviously the core ride hailing and delivery business are very important.
They're investing more into drivers and merchants and trying to get ahead uh in, you know, global markets and expansion markets uh where DoorDash its rival is also competing in, especially in Europe.
Um they also talked about, you know, building an autonomous future, which is very important because they committed, you know, more than ten billion dollars in investment in the next few years and they're gonna have to reallocate
capital to be able to do that.
Yes.
So Uber doesn't want to make their own Robotaxis.
They're not gonna build their own Waymo car or um or or Tesla.
But they are partnering with a a bunch of different providers such as Neuro, Lucid, uh Rivian, and Avride, uh to sort of be able to uh aggregate all these cars and in the future become the go-to platform where people can hail multiple kinds of autonomous vehicles.
Yes, so Airbnb is seeing this really strong demand, especially from North America.
Group travel is really strong, people are booking entire homes to go travel with friends.
And it's really contributing to this growth optimism that Airbnb is seeing is kind of a different story from last year where they would always call out that North America is sort of the drag on the business.
And another thing to call out is this kind of optimism would bode well for a lot of Airbnb's new business initiatives, like a la carte services, like in-home beauty appointments and grocery stocking, as well as their new hotel booking initiative as well.
Yeah, so CEO Brian Chesky is trying to turn his company into an AI-native company, using AI to help people discover homes more quickly, make a decision on the reservation more quickly, and basically convert them into bookers.
So upcoming features later this year include AI Search, which will be more conversational with more visual elements than your traditional chatbot.
The other thing is like an AI home comparison tool that they're testing.
