Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky says AI agents need their own operating system

Airbnb rolled out a new AI-powered search in its fall update while CEO Brian Chesky said chatbots aren’t the ideal interface for travel discovery and previewed the company’s push to become more "agent-friendly." Chesky described plans to support "multiplayer" (collaborative) agents, agent-to-agent interactions (referencing MCP interoperability), and a richer developer toolkit so agents can hand off into Airbnb’s app or act as an app themselves, arguing the industry lacks a true operating system built for AI agents.

Wabi pivots from prompt-based app builder to AI messaging 'personal agent' with Wabi 2.0

Wabi, the startup that let users build apps via prompts, is relaunching as Wabi 2.0 — an invite-only AI messaging experience that creates on-demand interfaces and lightweight apps to help users and their contacts get tasks done, founder Eugenia Kuyda said. The shift positions Wabi closer to conversational AI agents from companies like Meta and OpenAI, emphasizing a mix of chat and tappable UI rather than chat-only workflows.
