Desti is a travel guide app and a spin-off of SRI International that uses SRI's CALO artificial intelligence technology (the basis for Apple's Siri) to help users plan trips. [2] The app went to public beta in November 2012. [3]
The company's app allows users to search a destination and filter by a variety of categories, and save the result as a collection. [4] Desti was a finalist in the 2013 SXSW Accelerator. [5] As of early 2013, Desti had raised around $2 million in seed funding, primarily from Horizons Ventures. [4]
