OpenAI Watch posted an update
OpenAI has acquired Odessia, an AI travel-planning platform, The Information reports. Odessia founder Francis Davidson is joining OpenAI to work on “the future of travel”.
Why it mattersOdessia, founded earlier this year, uses AI to help people plan trips. The report gives no further detail on the deal or what OpenAI intends to build, so the shape of that future remains firmly on the itinerary marked “to be confirmed”. The acquisition puts a travel-focused AI product and its founder inside OpenAI.
Discuss: Should AI companies build services like travel planning themselves, or leave that territory to specialist startups?
