Positive users are thrilled about Odessia raising $6M led by Sequoia for its AI travel planning app and plan to use it, while negative users dismiss the app as a buggy LLM wrapper not worth the funding compared to free tools like Claude.

@FDavidsonT congrats francis! i’ve used it myself and can confirm - this is epic. the future of travel!
@pbrody The APIs are good but the magic is in the UI and seeing everything for yourself. Don't you want to see options for hotels and places to go?
@FDavidsonT This is sick. I will be a user for sure!
@FDavidsonT Thrilled to be an investor and happy user!
Sorry but I have literally used 5 different but similar tools to book my trip to Spain. Almost all as easy as this one.
In the end, what mattered most was actually researching each item rather than a generated to do list.
Maybe previously founding Sonder gets you in the room with Sequoia, but this is not worth $6M imo. Happy to be proven wrong
@FDavidsonT Strongly approve of the restaurant choices here, Odessia
@recursiveFun Did you try Odessia? Give it a go, you’ll see how different it is
This is very exciting! Congrats on raise and excellent demo. Would be pretty helpful if it could: 1. Make bookings to these venues on my behalf. 2. Adjust calendar based on bookings available, e.g. if the Frida Kahlo museum isn't available on Fri, it books Thu and then moved my Thu booking to Fri. Dynamic scheduling. 3. Work as an app I can reference while I'm traveling (not clear if that is the case from the demo).
@page501_ Prices fluctuate. Here's Odessia right now.
We integrate with the best APIs.
@FDavidsonT Interesting! This looks like @stardrift_ai
@FDavidsonT @sequoia I wouldn’t even vibe clone this I’d just tell codex to /goal plan my trip to Mexico
@FDavidsonT Awesome demo! Do you connect to GDS for back-end/post booking management or how do you manage that part?
@FDavidsonT it suggested Alo yoga (clothing brand) as a restaurant lol.
hallucinating bro
@FDavidsonT looks soooo good
how do you guarantee lowest price? looks 20% more expensive than expedia
@FDavidsonT Wait, that’s Starbucks?
@cheafofstaff @sequoia Don't you want to see options and pick what works for you? And see prices and availability? Reviews?
@FDavidsonT Congrats on the launch dude
@pavelsvitek_ Good feedback. We're still in preview, will likely relax this over time. But being logged in is critical for personalization and getting the best pricing
@FDavidsonT The only thing I’ll never trust AI with is restaurant recommendations
