What happened
On Airbnb's Q2 2026 earnings call, CEO Brian Chesky said the company's AI support assistant resolves nearly 45% of inquiries started with it without a human, up from 40% in the first quarter, and is available in more than 50 languages. Customer support cost per booking fell about 16% year over year, which CX Dive says was attributed in part to the assistant. Airbnb plans to add AI voice support later in the year. The article was published August 7, 2026.
