About Often

At Often we're building the vertical AI stack for travel. We're on a mission to leverage AI to unlock new use cases and help people take better trips more often.

Despite significant effort, travelers usually only explore a small fraction of possible travel combinations and lose ₹50,000 in possible savings on every trip. Our AI tool, Trippy, accesses real-time travel supply from over 600 sources and optimizes trip combinations to uncover hidden savings and upgrades. Trippy has helped a couple travelling to Thailand save ₹33,000, a group travelling to Maasai Mara ₹85,000, and more than 500 other travellers, all by making small adjustments to their trip.
