Santiago says a good AI booking agent needs backend relationships with hotels and airlines, not just form-filling automation.
He points to Odessia, which he describes as an AI concierge paired with an IATA-registered travel agent that has access to agency rates and hotel perks.
Odessia's launch post says it offers an always-on travel and experiences concierge that users can start for free by texting.
Here is the thing you are missing about booking trips with AI:
Anyone can build an agent that fills out forms and clicks buttons, but that won't make a good booking agent.
To stand out, you need backend relationships, connections, and commercial arrangements with hotels and airlines.
That's what makes this here interesting: an AI concierge and an IATA-registered travel agent, with access to agency rates and hotel perks.
