Google enables AI Mode to call stores and track hotel prices — convenient for travel

Friends, here's an AI update: Google updated AI Mode: an agent can now call local stores to check product availability and report back, and track hotel prices in Search.

- The agent calls stores on user request and returns results. The feature will roll out in the U.S. in the coming weeks.
- Price tracking is now available for individual hotels: enable the toggle on desktop or via "Prices" on mobile to receive email alerts for price changes.
- The announcement and rollout are covered in TechCrunch (reporter Aisha Malik).

Why this matters: it simplifies trip planning and saves time when checking availability and finding the best rates.

How will you use these capabilities for work or travel?
