Navanโs EMEA expansion continues: Swedish rail is here ๐ธ๐ช
Through our partnership with SilverRail, travelers can book more than 20 Swedish rail carriers like SJ AB and VR directly in the Navan app.
Weโre bringing more sustainable, self-service travel options to the Swedish market and beyond.
At Navan, our scale gives us access to unrivaled content from countless sources. But consolidating that massive scale can get messy, and existing solutions couldn't handle the complexity.
Today, we announced our new AI-powered hotel content catalog designed to solve the industryโs most persistent lodging challenge: inconsistent room and rate information. We're now using AI as a universal translator that sorts through millions of listings, eliminating the noise and ensuring total accuracy.
Hereโs what this means for our customers:
โ
Total confidence: No more guessing if two rooms are the same.
๐ More value: 70% more rate options for every room, thanks to better mapping.
๐จ Expanded content: Our catalog now makes it easier than ever to grow our inventory and direct connections.
Hear our VP of Product Design, Kate McCarthy break down the tech that makes it possible:

Generative AI promises to revolutionize the way we work. Yet, 2 years post-ChatGPT, businesses are still unable to deploy AI at scale.

Hard work and relentless innovation pay off ๐ช
Iโm so excited to share today that @navan has been named one of the 50 most disruptive companies in the world by @CNBC!
Trust me โ weโre just getting started. Letโs go! ๐#Disruptor50

Just a few short years ago, many proclaimed business travel dead.
We disagreed.
We knew that a more distributed workforce would mean in-person interactions would increase in importance, not decrease. We knew that when people can't meet face-to-face, sales go down and attrition goes up.
But we also recognized that it would be more important than ever to provide proactive expense management solutions that offered finance teams real-time visibility and control.
And so we built innovative solutions to support hybrid and remote teams while doubling down on Navan Expense. We integrated generative AI. We figured out how to extend the magic of Navanโs โNo Expense Reportsโ experience to external bank and corporate cards with the launch of Navan Connect and the creation of the BYOC category.ย
In other words, not only has Navan survived โ weโve thrived. Today, we're honored to share that we've been named one of the 50 most disruptive companies in the world by @CNBC ๐ #Disruptor50

๐ฃ๏ธThe future of AI wonโt be chatbots. The next battlefield in AI is building the next UI.
"Beyond chatbots, Twig imagines Navan developing AI interfaces that change, or even disappear, based on a corporate travelerโs location or needs, maybe even before they know them. โMy goal as the CTO is to keep exploring and keep pushing the boundaries of these technologies,โ says Twig."
@mccarthyryanj speaks with AI experts including @Ilan Twig about why proactive AI will be the future of user experience and how Navanโs automated assistant, Ava, is leading the charge for @FastCompany:
Why the future of AI won't be about chatbots.
I did some reporting on the race to build AI agents and assistants and what it means for how we interact with software.
The next battlefield in AI is building an interpretive layer between you & the world.

WATCH: Civilians in Gaza beg the IDF to eliminate all Hamas terrorists, who have brought nothing but harm, violence, and suffering to their own people.
The voices of these Gazans MUST be amplified.
