“Travel is a trillion-dollar industry stuck in the past. The last major breakthrough came in the 1990s, with the emergence of online travel agencies (OTAs) like Booking.com and Expedia to aggregate inventory.” -a16z Consumer, 2023Since then, everything's been built for vendors to sell inventory, not for the people buying it. Even now, rigid,slow moving OTAs are building (and failing at) primitive AI chat to push inventory, not help you plan.People are frustrated, but they don’t want travel agents. They want better tools. 90% of Americans say travel planning is tedious and costly (time/money/stress), but only 20% prefer travel agents, because most don’t want a salesperson planning their trip. After speaking with hundreds of travellers, they’ve told us they want the value of a travel agent, without using onePlanning and booking a vacation shouldn’t feel like another job. It should be: - Collaborative – Easy to plan with friends, without endless group chats - Simple – One tool to discover, organize, and book—beautifully - All in One – No more tabs, texts, or patchwork spreadsheets - Free, Fun, and Flexible – Because planning should feel like part of the adventureIntroducing Pilot: An AI powered productivity tool facilitating end to end travel. Unlike competitors, Pilot is: - Personalized, flexible and collaborative for any trip - User-friendly, free, and fun, especially with friends or a group - A discovery and planning tool first, a booking tool secondPilot replaces travel agents by letting you “talk” to your trip, learning and improving based on your preferences as you use it (like Netflix). AI agentic workflows then automatically syndicate, summarize, map, visualize, share, organize, and book plans, in an increasingly personalized way.It's everything you need to make trips happen (and share them) in one place.Product vision: To become the full-stack platform for global travel, giving you the value of a travel agent, without needing one. | $290K / Seed / Aug 01, 2025 |
