Kayak Founders Team Up for Booking Holdings AI Startup: Scoop

Kayak founders Steve Hafner and Paul English are collaborating on an AI startup for Booking Holdings called Lola, according to English and a source familiar with the plans.

Booking Holdings purchased the Lola.com and Lola.ai URLs from English in early April.

A new splash page for Lola.com and Lola.ai went up Wednesday: “Welcome to Lola. Insider access to the world’s leading travel brands. Better rates, better options, better everything. Just ask.”

The “just ask” verbiage is an apparent reference on conversational AI on the site to come.
