TripAdvisor has introduced a new AI‑powered app that lives inside ChatGPT, allowing users to browse and book hotels without leaving the chat interface. The integration displays top‑rated TripAdvisor hotels on an interactive map, provides review summaries, photos, amenities and real‑time pricing from partner booking sites. Travelers can refine their search through conversational prompts and complete bookings via redirects to TripAdvisor or its partners. The feature is available to U.S. users on all ChatGPT subscription tiers after a simple one‑time setup in the app settings. Ler mais

Boop also embeds affiliate links, allowing creators to earn commissions on bookings.
