Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said bookings through Meta’s Muse and AI startup Instinct are negligible beside Airbnb’s nearly 500,000 daily bookings, describing outside AI agents as a limited source of reservations for the company. Chesky made the comparison while answering a Morgan Stanley analyst. He did not give a separate count for bookings made through either agent. He said he views general-purpose agents as a way for travelers to discover Airbnb, similar to Google, rather than as a threat to the home-rental platform. Chesky’s argument is that travel decisions involve more than routine tasks.
