OpenAI has acquired Odessia, an AI travel platform that lets users plan and book trips with AI assistance. The Odessia team confirmed the deal: "We started Odessia to reinvent travel. This acquisition marks an exciting next chapter for that mission."
The team will now "focus on the future of travel." TestingCatalog quips this is another OpenAI "side quest" — after search and browsers, travel appears to be the next consumer frontier for the company.
