Airbnb delays ChatGPT integration, says tech isn’t ready

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said the company plans to eventually integrate ChatGPT-style AI but current technology isn’t ready for travel and lodging demands. Instead, Airbnb is using a mix of 13 chatbot models, including Alibaba’s Qwen, while rolling out smaller AI upgrades like an in-app chatbot and direct messaging between hosts and guests.

Key Points:

ChatGPT isn’t enterprise-ready for Airbnb’s requirements; the company is cautious about full integration.
New AI features include reservation changes and direct messaging in North America.
Chesky emphasised collaboration and readiness as crucial for successful AI adoption.

ChatGPT May Soon Get a Built-In Prompt Library

ChatGPT is reportedly testing a new built-in prompt library feature that could let users create, save, and quickly reuse prompts directly within the workspace. Screenshots shared by X user Tibor Blaho show sections like “All in workspace” and “My prompts,” along with a shortcut “/**” to browse and insert saved prompts. OpenAI is also exploring prompt variables and an auto-enable tools option to streamline workflows.

Key Points:

Users can save sequences of text as reusable prompts and insert them instantly.
Prompt variables may allow predefined elements like file inputs or tone to activate tools automatically.
The feature is under internal testing, with no official announcement yet, targeting power users and teams.
