Welcome to the podcast today. Airbnb is planning to bake AI features into their search,

0:06.5

into their discovery, into their support. As someone that has done a lot of Airbnb in the

0:11.0

past as a user and I have been an Airbnb host for multiple properties before. And Jamie,

0:15.6

who currently has a ton that he's doing actively with Airbnb, We wanted to cover this and give a bit of our

0:21.5

perspective on where we think this is going, some opportunities for making money, how this,

0:25.9

how AI and this is going to change things around a bit. But before we do that, I wanted to tell

0:30.9

you about our AI hustle school community. This week, we just recorded a video all outlining

0:37.0

a new side hustle that I have outlined how to do,

0:41.7

which is essentially using AI to scale up an Etsy shop and sell products there.

0:47.8

So it's probably something I will be updating people on from time to time on a specific genre

0:53.4

that I'm making Bibleverse T-shirts. And I'll update you guys on how much money it is making and exactly the strategies. But if you want to see the breakdown of how I set up the store, how I run it, how much money it makes, and all that kind of insider info on it, go check out the AI Hustle School community. There's a link in the description. It is $20 a month to get access to a community, and we have all of our side hustles and all of the ways we're using AI to grow and scale our businesses. So go check that out. Okay, coming over to Airbnb, Jamie, as someone that is an Airbnb master and you're actively working on Airbnb's, what are some of the features

1:27.8

you're most excited for that they have announced here? Yeah, so, you know, Airbnb has made

1:33.2

lots of changes in the past year or two. You know, they're trying to adapt to, first of all,

1:38.7

a lot of the hate they've gotten for service fees and things like that, but also how they get

1:43.1

customers and making it more

1:45.0

of an experience-based company.

1:47.0

So they're not just looking to book places to stay for people.

1:51.4

They want you to have an experience there.

1:53.1

So they kind of changed a lot of their algorithms and things to benefit properties that have more of an experience. So the more amenities

2:03.5

you can offer, the more likely you are to get recommended on their platform. So these AI search

2:10.1

features are kind of taking it to the next level. It sounds like they're going to be integrating

2:14.3

them more. But one of the problems I see with Airbnb is some of the search is a little bit more.
