For many people, packing bags is one of the least exciting aspects of travel, but KLM is aiming to make the task easier on consumers with its packing assistant on [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-travel-guide) [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steamer-home-trunk).

The name of the KLM Google Assistant is BB, short for [Blue Bot](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sandals-resorts-international), who is said to have a "helpful, friendly, professional and edgy" personality. As with most artificial intelligence systems, the more BB interacts with a user, the smarter it becomes.

Although there are plenty of packing guides that can be found online for both hot and cold destinations, they leave the specifics up to travelers. If a traveler tells BB that they will be going to a specific destination like Geneva, it will note something like "The weather man says it's going to be chilly in Geneva, so pack your gloves."
