""We're no longer just an app for rides, or even two apps, or [a] family of apps for both rides and eats. Uber is now an app for everything, where you can go, you can get and now you can travel.""
""What we have seen the last few months is a fundamental reset, a new way of building software. This shift began late last year with the emergence of agentic AI.""
""A feature like the hotel bookings would have taken at least a year to develop, but now that timeframe has been cut in half due to the adoption of agentic AI tools.""
Uber has introduced a hotel booking feature in its app, allowing access to over 700,000 hotels globally through a partnership with Expedia Group. This new functionality is part of a broader strategy to transform Uber into an all-encompassing app for travel and services. Uber One subscribers will receive discounts and credits for hotel bookings. The development of this feature was expedited by agentic AI tools, significantly reducing the time required for software development and launch.
