Sonder co-founder launches Odessia, an AI travel agent that books your trip in one chat

Your move: Six months after Sonder, a new bet on AI travel

Francis Davidson, co-founder of the now-collapsed Sonder, launched Odessia on June 2, 2026. You describe a trip and it plans a personalized itinerary, then books the flights, hotels, and activities in the same chat instead of sending you to a site like Expedia to finish. The company raised $6 million in seed funding led by Sequoia Capital. Odessia is currently in preview, with the company asking for user feedback.

Why it matters

Most AI trip planners stop at the itinerary and hand you off to book elsewhere. Odessia is one of a growing group, alongside MindTrip and Miso, betting that finishing the booking inside the chat is the real differentiator. Still in preview, so treat it as early rather than a finished product.
