Google Opens New Nonprofit Venue in the Heart of Downtown Austin

Published

on

As part of Google’s newest Austin Office, Google.org Nonprofit Venue reflects Google’s continued local investment

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Google is opening its new downtown Austin Sail Tower office as a vibrant hub for nonprofits, completely free of charge. At today’s launch event, Austin Mayor Kirk Watson and community leaders joined Google executives to unveil the vibrant space and demonstrate the creative ways nonprofits can leverage this unique opportunity.

The Google.org nonprofit venue reflects Google’s longstanding investment in Austin and expands the community role of Sail Tower. Opened last year, Sail Tower marked another milestone in Google’s more than 20 years in Texas.

“Google has been an active part of Austin’s growth for nearly two decades, and this new Google.org venue takes Google’s commitment to a new level,” said Mayor Watson. “Spaces like this are absolutely vital for Austin’s nonprofit community. They provide a place for organizations to collaborate, innovate and serve our city in new ways. When good neighbors and partners like Google open doors to our local visionaries, they’re not just offering a physical space, they’re strengthening the fabric of Austin and helping our community thrive.”

To include the Austin community in the unveiling celebration, Google hosted a free, in-person “Make AI Work for You” workshop for local nonprofits and small businesses. The interactive session is designed to help small business owners and nonprofit leaders harness the power of AI to grow and streamline their operations. Through hands-on coaching from a Google trainer, attendees learned how to apply AI to solve challenges that matter most to their businesses and organization from writing effective prompts to brainstorming business solutions to delegating repetitive tasks using Google’s suite of AI tools. Because nonprofits and small businesses are so essential to our communities and our economy, Google also offers virtual trainings and resources for nonprofits and small businesses, at no cost.

A New Hub for Austin Nonprofits
Sail Tower is now also open for Austin metro area nonprofits, providing free access to a versatile space that can support a variety of gatherings. During the event, Google also announced that Austin Community Foundation (ACF), Central Texas’ trusted partner in philanthropy for nearly 50 years, will work alongside Google to enable local organizations to access the space.

“Google has been a long-standing supporter of our nonprofit ecosystem in Central Texas, and ACF is proud to support that work,” said Meagan Longley, Chief Impact Officer at Austin Community Foundation. “This new venue gives nonprofits access to a technology-rich space in the heart of Austin at no cost – building the capacity of our nonprofit leaders to convene, celebrate, and problem-solve.”

The ground floor venue at Sail Tower is available for local nonprofit programming – eligible organizations can book the space for workshops, classes, meetings, and events. It can accommodate up to 143 people, and it’s fully equipped with high-speed Wi Fi, A/V capabilities, event supplies and other amenities. Learn more.

A New Texas-Inspired Workspace for Austin Googlers
Located along Lady Bird Lake, Sail Tower features abundant natural light, outdoor terraces with native Texas plants and interiors inspired by landscapes across the state, including the desert wildflowers of Big Bend, the hiking trails of the Hill Country and the thunderstorms of Marfa. 

Local artwork and flexible workspaces were designed to reflect Austin while supporting innovation, collaboration, and enabling Googlers to do their best work.

“With this new Google.org venue, Google is opening our doors at Sail Tower to community organizations and marking the next chapter of our long-term investment in Austin and the state of Texas,” said Jim Anderson, Texas Office Leader and Vice President of Cloud North American Partner Ecosystem and Channels for Google. “By establishing a third place for the local nonprofits that serve as the backbone of the city, Google is deepening its continued commitment to fostering learning, creativity, and connection right in the heart of downtown.”

Google strives to always be a good neighbor through long term partnerships and investments in our offices, our people, and the communities where we are located. In 2025, Google helped provide $55.7 billion of economic activity for hundreds of thousands of Texas businesses, nonprofits, publishers, creators, and developers, and since 2005, Google and Googlers have given more than $112 million in funding (cash grants, social impact funding, employee donations, and gift match) to organizations and nonprofits in Texas.

Direct Travel Introduces the Next Evolution of Avenir at GBTA

Latest Avenir release gives organizations more direct access to the travel content, data and service needed to manage modern travel programs

DENVER, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Direct Travel, one of the world’s largest travel management companies, today announced the next evolution of Avenir, its advanced travel management platform designed to give organizations the most direct access to travel content, data, service, and an expanding set of capabilities that help them manage, optimize, and strengthen their travel programs and the experience for travelers.

Business travel has never offered more opportunity or more complexity. New content sources, evolving distribution models, AI, and an expanding ecosystem of travel technologies are creating tremendous new possibilities, but they are also fragmenting how organizations access travel content, data, and service. As information becomes dispersed across multiple systems, travel managers face growing challenges delivering consistent experiences, gaining timely insights, and effectively managing their programs.

Avenir was built to change that. Rather than requiring travel managers to work across disconnected systems, Avenir brings together the content, data, insights, tools, and expertise organizations need to manage modern travel programs through a single experience. The result is fewer obstacles between travel managers and the information they need, making it easier to access insights, manage travel programs, and support travelers throughout their journeys.

At the core of Avenir is Spotnana’s next generation cloud-based travel infrastructure, providing the modern booking and servicing infrastructure for enterprise travel. Direct Travel brings that technology to life through global implementation, enterprise travel expertise, and outstanding service, creating an enterprise ready solution for organizations around the world.

Avenir is built to grow beyond traditional travel management through an expanding ecosystem of connected capabilities. Rather than requiring organizations to adopt additional standalone tools, Avenir will provide more direct access to the services and technologies they need through a single experience. This release marks the first step with the introduction of Juno for guest travel. By connecting guest travel with managed travel, organizations gain more complete visibility across total travel activity and richer insights to support better decisions.

“As technology continues to reshape business travel, our focus has remained the same: helping travel program owners run better travel programs and deliver better experiences for their travelers,” said Christal Bemont, Chief Executive Officer of Direct Travel. “Avenir gives organizations more direct access to the content, data, and service they need to manage modern travel programs. By removing many of the obstacles between travel managers and the information they need, we help them spend less time navigating systems and more time making strategic decisions that improve their programs.”

The latest release introduces several new capabilities designed to help travel program owners work more efficiently and make more informed decisions.

One place to manage your travel program

Avenir now provides a single destination for reporting, travel resources, program insights, and integrated partner capabilities through one secure login, reducing the need to move between multiple systems.

Ask better questions. Get better answers.

Avenir is built on a modern, AI-ready data foundation that brings together trusted travel data from across the program into a secure, governed environment. Rather than relying on static reports, travel managers can ask questions in natural language through Ask Avenir and receive trusted answers, build reports on demand, and analyze complex travel spend in minutes. Combined with new dashboards, trend analysis, proactive insights, and actionable recommendations, Avenir helps organizations identify opportunities, make more informed decisions, and continuously improve their travel programs.

A more intelligent travel experience

Avenir is evolving to deliver AI throughout the travel experience by combining Direct Travel’s own AI innovations with the power of Spotnana’s new multi-agent AI architecture and an expanding ecosystem of specialized AI capabilities. As Spotnana introduces new AI experiences for travelers, travel managers, and travel advisors, Direct Travel will bring those capabilities to customers through Avenir while continuing to automate routine workflows and simplify servicing.

At the same time, Avenir’s open architecture allows organizations to take advantage of focused AI solutions from trusted partners. Whether interacting with the platform through natural language, receiving intelligent recommendations, or using specialized assistants like Otto for focused travel experiences, customers will benefit from AI that works together through a single connected platform.

Built for what’s next

Avenir’s open architecture creates a connected foundation that allows Direct Travel to continuously expand the platform with new capabilities and best in class partner solutions. As customer needs evolve, organizations will gain access to additional experiences across travel management, analytics, automation, meetings and events, expense, duty of care, and other connected services without replacing the technology at the core of their travel program.

“Avenir has become our one-stop shop for understanding our travel program,” said Lisa Kaffenberger, People & Culture Travel Manager, BDO. “Whether I need to track a ticket from beginning to end or get answers to questions that once required hours of manual reporting, it’s all right there. It’s not just another application. It’s becoming the foundation for how we manage our travel program by making the information we need easier to access, and we’re excited to see where it goes next.”

The new release is another step in Direct Travel’s strategy to give organizations more direct access to the content, data, expertise, and technology they need to build smarter, more connected travel programs.

New Platform, New Conversation: Oversee Unveils AgentSee AI Chat Feature and Platform Redesign

Published

on

By

At GBTA Convention 2026, Oversee introduced a conversational AI chat experience for consultants within AgentSee and a full redesign of its platform, bringing air and hotel reshopping, sourcing analytics, and agentic AI reporting into one cleaner view.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Oversee, the AI travel technology platform for travel spend optimization and agentic AI solutions, today announced two product updates at GBTA Convention 2026: a new conversational AI chat experience within AgentSee, its flagship agentic AI product, and a full redesign of the Oversee platform.

The new AI chat feature is embedded within AgentSee’s Assist mode, a co-pilot experience that prepares servicing work in advance, handles repetitive groundwork and keeps the travel consultant in control of each decision. AgentSee Assist supports requests involving bookings, exchanges, cancellations, fare rule checks and other travel workflows, preparing the information and next steps a consultant needs to complete the request.

Integrated directly into the servicing tools consultants already use, the AI chat allows them to review AgentSee’s work, ask questions, request changes and guide the next steps in plain language. The experience uses the same familiar conversational format consultants know from AI tools such as ChatGPT, making it intuitive from the first interaction.

AgentSee Assist meets consultants where they are

Assist reviews incoming requests, completes the initial research and brings the relevant decision points to the consultant. This helps consultants spend less time searching the GDS, checking fare rules and gathering information, and more time on customer-facing work. Once the consultant provides instructions or approval, Assist carries out the next steps, such as completing a booking in the GDS or changing an existing reservation.

“Travel consultants already know how to work with an AI chat interface, so we brought that experience into the tools they use every day,” said Oded Zilinsky, Chief Product Officer at Oversee. “The goal is to make AgentSee feel familiar from the first interaction, while giving consultants a faster way to review the work, make changes and move a request forward.”

AgentSee supports two complementary modes that work together across complex, multi-step travel servicing workflows. Execute handles eligible servicing requests automatically from start to finish. Assist keeps the consultant involved wherever judgment, review or approval is needed, surfaces the relevant decision points through chat and carries out the consultant’s instructions. Together, the two modes automate repetitive, high-volume work while keeping consultants in control of the moments that require their expertise.

One platform, one cleaner view

Alongside the new AgentSee Assist chat experience, Oversee has redesigned its platform across its product suite. Analytics and reporting for air and hotel reshopping, sourcing analytics and AgentSee now sit within one consistent interface.

The new interface surfaces the most relevant, actionable insights for each user, from rate availability issues for travel managers to opportunities to increase automation for operations leaders.

Both the AgentSee Assist chat experience and the redesigned Oversee platform are available now to Oversee’s TMC partners and corporate clients. Oversee will demonstrate both releases at booth 3428 throughout GBTA Convention 2026 in Chicago.

About Oversee

Oversee is the travel industry’s AI-powered optimization platform, built for travel management companies and corporate travel programs. Its modular product suite, including FareSaver, HotelSaver, AgentSee and Travel Sourcing Optimization, combines automated reshopping, agentic AI for travel operations and sourcing analytics to help travel companies unlock savings, improve margins and operate more efficiently.

Oversee serves more than 7,000 customers across more than 60 countries, including more than 50% of the BTN 100 and dozens of leading global TMCs. The company operates as an independent, GDS-agnostic platform. Learn more at https://oversee.biz/.
