GenAI Booking Rollout Status by Country
Last Updated: December 8, 2025
Introduction
Revolutionary AI features like ChatGPT and Google AI Mode now allow users to complete bookings directly within chat interfaces. However, these capabilities are currently limited to select countries.
This article tracks the global rollout status of major AI booking features, helping businesses understand when these capabilities will reach their market and how to prepare.
What is AI Booking?
Traditional AI chatbots could only search and recommend, requiring users to leave the chat to complete bookings. New "agentic AI" can:
- Search across multiple booking platforms
- Check real-time availability
- Present curated options matching your criteria
- Complete bookings within the chat (no external site needed)
