Everyone is getting in on the AI frenzy lately, even AirBnB, who has just made their first acquisition as a public company for a company named Gameplanner.AI valued at just under $200 million.
Why would AirBnB want to acquire an AI company? Well, Gameplanner.AI could help accelerate some of Airbnb’s AI projects according to the article.
Interesting tidbit:
“Gameplanner.AI was cofounded by Adam Cheyer, one of the founders of Siri. When Siri was acquired by Apple, he worked alongside Steve Jobs. Cheyer later co-founded Viv Labs, which would become the foundation for Samsung’s voice assistant.”
