PhocusWire coverage:
Below, we asked founder and CEO Francis Davidson to share strategic priorities for 2027 and what has been learned since founding.
Strategic goals for 2027
In 2027 we’re building the travel product people can’t imagine planning without, the one that feels like a brilliant friend with perfect taste and every rate in the world. Deeper supply, sharper recommendations and an agentic booking experience. Odessia will become increasingly proactive, anticipating what's next and acting at the right time.
Key lessons learned since founding
Agents are most powerful when acting in the background, given enough time to explore every option, and getting back to users when all the research is done and it's time to make a decision.
