Uber introduced a hotel-booking feature and an AI voice assistant during its Go-Get event in New York City. This partnership with Expedia Group allows users to book over 700,000 hotels globally, with discounts and Uber Credits for members. The AI-powered Voice Booking Assistant enables hands-free ride bookings. The development process was expedited by Agentic AI, reducing the time to market. Users can view hotel options, prices, and earn credits through the Uber app, streamlining travel logistics and enhancing user experience.
