Fair question.
If we were just a ChatGPT wrapper with a Booking API, we’d be already dead.
Our value isn’t the interface it’s the supply. We have direct relationships with hotels that log in daily to quote, adjust pricing, negotiate, and close deals. That’s not something you get with an API key.
You can vibe-code an Airbnb clone in an afternoon. Without supply, contracts, and operational execution, it’s useless. Marketplace take time to build network effect
LLMs can display data. They can’t negotiate, contract, invoice, manage edge cases, or execute group bookings end-to-end.
We’ll distribute via all major LLMs. But the defensibility is in our network and operations and date, not the UI that everyone could replicate
It's not a human response, it's an AI

no problem for me!
Not the person you're replying to but this response uses different quotation marks and capitalisation compared to your shallow ChatGPT output from earlier. I took the time to write out what I thought and I'm not going to reply to LLM output. If you wanted genuine dialogue put in effort to reply yourself.
Anyone making such a claim should be providing reasons or evidence of their claim about someone else's comments being AI. Not everything is AI just because you don't like someone who uses AI in other areas.
Agreed. Thank you for the support. There was even grammar issues in my response, what sort of Ai is doing grammar mistakes?
The risk isn't "anyone", it's Tripadvisor or Trivago.
