Google Maps adds agentic features, including food ordering and hotel bookings

Google announced Thursday that Ask Maps in Google Maps is gaining agentic features: food ordering, hotel booking, and ticket finding. Personal Intelligence, which is off by default, draws on Gmail and Calendar data to personalize responses. Users can order food via supported platforms like Square, Toast, or Uber Eats. Hotel booking compares prices and launches partner sites. Ticket queries show options and links. New features are rolling out in the U.S. Ask Maps now remembers prior conversations for continuity. A live transit widget showing real-time delays is also launching. These features are available in all markets where Ask Maps is available.
