Google Maps' Ask Maps Adds Agentic Food Ordering, Hotel Booking, and Event Tickets

On August 6, 2026, Google announced that Ask Maps — its conversational AI assistant — can now order food via Square, Toast, and Uber Eats, compare hotel prices with booking links, and surface event tickets. The agentic features (AI acting on the user's behalf) are rolling out to US users. Ask Maps also gains conversation memory and opt-in Personal Intelligence using Gmail and Calendar data.
