Airbnb CTO Ahmad Al-Dahle Details AI-Native Overhaul of Airbnb's Products and Workflows

Airbnb CTO Ahmad Al-Dahle, who joined from Meta in January, says 60% of the company's code is now AI-authored and pull-request throughput per engineer is up about 1.6x.

Roughly half of Airbnb's support tickets are now resolved purely by AI, which the company tested with synthetic data before production.

Airbnb's internal context graph Everest helped speed up the grocery delivery and airport pickup services, which took eight to nine months and about six weeks to build, respectively.
