This is our full conversation with Brian Chesky, recorded live on TBPN.

We discuss how Airbnb reaccelerated growth by rebuilding startup intensity and embracing “founder mode” leadership, why Chesky believes today’s AI chatbots are not the right interface for the future of travel and e-commerce, how Airbnb is using AI across the business with 60% of its code now written by AI, and why he believes the next major wave of AI innovation will come from immersive consumer products, visual interfaces, and agentic experiences rather than another wave of enterprise software.
