AI Agents will kill the travel aggregator website

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "AI Agents will kill the travel aggregator website". Your opponent's style: The Tech Realist

No

Your dismissive "No" only highlights the superficiality of your opposition. The idea that AI agents will simply "kill" travel aggregators is a childish oversimplification, ignoring the deep-seated value these platforms provide beyond mere search functions. What fundamental, irreplaceable aspect do you believe an AI agent offers that aggregators cannot simply integrate and enhance?

My "No" was hardly superficial; it was a concise dismissal of a flawed premise. You claim aggregators offer "deep-seated value beyond mere search functions," yet their primary function *is* search, and they notoriously lack personalization, hit you with hidden fees, and offer inconsistent customer service. AI agents, on the other hand, *excel* at personalized itineraries, real-time adjustments, and 24/7 support without human intervention. The "irreaplaceable aspect" of AI is its ability to learn, predict, and proactively manage an entire trip, something aggregators, with their static search results and fragmented data, simply cannot match.

Your assertion about aggregators' "notoriously lacking" personalization and inconsistent service is as outdated as it is inaccurate. Modern aggregators increasingly integrate AI for personalized recommendations and dynamic pricing. Moreover, the very "hidden fees" you cite are often a consequence of fragmented airline pricing, not the aggregator itself. AI agents offer personalization, but aggregators provide the competitive marketplace crucial for securing deals. Why would users abandon price transparency for a single, albeit personalized, AI source?[1][2][3][4]
