OpenAI Acquires Odessia, AI Travel Startup Founded by Francis Davidson

OpenAI has acquired Odessia, an AI travel agent startup founded by Francis Davidson, who will now work with OpenAI on travel-related projects. Odessia, which raised $6 million in a pre-seed round and launched its AI travel agent five months ago, has already been shut down. The acquisition appears to be an acqui-hire, as OpenAI has not confirmed the deal or announced any new travel products.
