Desti

edit

Desti is changing the way people search and plan their travel. Instead of sifting thru hundreds of search results and reading countless travel reviews, Desti can find precisely the right places to stay and things to do based on your needs. We harken back to the days of travel agents, where consumers could ask tough travel questions like ” What are the best hotels near the beach that are kid-friendly?”.

A recent spinout from SRI International, We are working on game changing technology that leverages natural language search technology and artificial intelligence to let users find precisely what they are looking for based on multiple criteria, not just price or travel dates. Our mission is to make travel planning as fun and painless as possible.
