Airbnb Deploys AI Agents Handling Support Tickets
Airbnb said during its fourth-quarter earnings call on Feb. 15, 2026 that a custom-built AI agent already handles about one-third (roughly 33%) of customer support conversations in North America. The company plans to roll the system out globally within a year, expects over 30% of global tickets to be handled by voice and chat tools, and says the shift will lower costs, improve consistency, and affect staffing and platform design.
