AEON rolls out Agentic Checkout V2, extending AI agent transactions to hotel bookings

AEON, an AI economy settlement protocol, has launched Agentic Checkout V2, expanding autonomous AI agent transactions beyond e-commerce purchases into travel accommodation bookings. The new version allows AI agents to search for and book hotels through the Travala platform. Users can submit lodging requests in natural language, and the AI agent helps handle room selection and the booking process. AEON also introduced an on-chain Agent Wallet feature for fund management. The wallet is designed to manage the funds available to agents, record transactions, and help users track spending carried out by AI agents. According to the announcement cited by ChainCatcher, the update pushes Agentic Commerce from product search and purchasing into more complex service-based transactions such as hotel reservations.

Google tests AI hotel booking inside AI Mode with Booking.com, Expedia, Marriott and IHG

Google is running a limited test in the United States for a hotel agent booking feature inside AI Mode, according to Techub News. The feature is integrated with Booking.com, Expedia, Marriott and IHG, letting users compare hotel options, set preferences and complete bookings directly inside the AI chat interface instead of leaving the conversation for external sites. Techub said the product evolved from Canvas, which Google launched in November 2025, and uses the Gemini model to handle multi-step planning tasks. Google has also expanded its conversational Flight Deals feature to more than 200 countries worldwide and is pairing it with Ask Maps to improve hotel search and price tracking. The company is building what Techub described as an end-to-end travel planning layer. Google is not acting as the merchant of record at this stage. Payments and transaction confirmations are still handled by partner platforms.
