AI can save us from the drudgery of every day tasks.
That's not automating all work. Just getting rid of the mechanical stuff that was never human in the first place. More time to do the things we love.
Traveling > spending 40 hours trip planning.

Indeed. @tbpn would love your feedback

I actually think the most wonderful V1 example of this today is @FDavidsonT's new travel booking app @OdessiaTravel.
It's a new example of chat interface for a particular problem that has lots of rich cards/photos/structured data/structured questions. (which is what Brian says is missing chat-only interfaces)
And under the hood it has refined agents that have bespoke prompts/skills/loops/model switching/agent orchestration etc.
Not an investor. Just seeing the future UI paradigm get built right in front of me and can instantly see that it's better.

Thrilled to have worked closely with OpenAI to build @OdessiaTravel.
In 5 months, we built a travel agent that can plan and book entire trips: flights, hotels, experiences, places to see β all personalized to you. Options come back in a few seconds with rich visuals.
Grateful for @OpenAIDevs for the partnership.

What should you do when you get there?
Odessia recommends things to see, do and eat:
- Tailored to you
- Real photos and reviews
- Activities you can book on the spot
Ask Odessia to add your picks to you trip and you'll get a clean day by day plan that makes sense.
