Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky announced that the company will unveil its 'next chapter' on May 13, 2025. The announcement, made via social media, follows prior statements from the May 1 earnings call indicating Airbnb will introduce new offerings beyond homes, supported by a rebuilt app on a new tech stack. The company has indicated it will invest $200–250 million in the second half of the year to support these initiatives. There is speculation about potential features, including a redesigned user interface and possible AI-powered enhancements to Airbnb's platform. In past interviews, Chesky has referenced efforts to reimagine the Experiences section and to integrate AI to augment real-world offerings, but has not provided specifics. The announcement comes amid ongoing softness in travel trends and follows a weak quarterly forecast for Airbnb. The company's stock is up 2.1% this year.
