Acai Travel is an AI-driven platform designed to optimize travel operations. Building on the success of their previous ventures, the founders aim to tackle inefficiencies that have worsened due to industry changes and the rising demand following the pandemic.
The platform aims to cut costs by up to half for agencies by automating routine tasks and boosting efficiency. Its approach provides agencies with insights into travel behavior, helping optimize services and predict upcoming trends.
Early results show a 20% reduction in handling times, with the potential for valuable savings as the full suite of products is rolled out.

Company values
- Ego-less approach: We foster a culture where ego is identified as a hindrance to progress. We humbly assume we could be incorrect and value the perspectives of others, enabling us to converge swiftly on more intelligent solutions
- Emptiness: Rooted in Tibetan Buddhist philosophy, we understand that our perceptions are largely self-generated interpretations of reality. We take responsibility for our emotional reactions to interactions, acknowledging that these emotions stem from within us and are within our control
- Stillness: We practice mental and emotional stillness, diffusing negative emotions while nourishing the positive ones. This state of calm enhances our ability to listen and understand our colleagues effectively
- OK-ness: We commit ourselves to growing comfortable with discomfort. We view each challenge as an opportunity to learn and train ourselves to maintain equanimity in the face of adversity
- Opportunities: We see multiple opportunities behind every problem, to the extent that we want to face problems so that we can more quickly grow our company with new-found, beautiful possibilities
- Generosity: We help our clients, partners and suppliers achieve their very best, and we help the industry grow and innovate, as we believe travel is the key to expanding our minds and creating new inventions
