OpenAI has acquired Odessia, an AI travel agent founded by Francis Davidson, and shut down the service. Davidson will join OpenAI to focus on the future of travel. Odessia, which raised $6 million in funding and attracted tens of thousands of users, planned and booked travel through a single conversation. The acquisition comes as travel is a key area for AI assistance, and while OpenAI has travel partners like Booking.com and Expedia, it has not yet announced plans to handle bookings directly through its services.
