About

Founded in 2015 by twin brothers Swapnil Shinde and Snehal Shinde in San Francisco, Mezi was an AI-powered personal travel assistant accessible 24/7 via messaging. The platform combined artificial intelligence with human travel experts to handle flight searches, hotel reservations, restaurant bookings, and trip planning through a simple text-message interface. Mezi's proprietary Travel Genome technology personalized recommendations based on traveler preferences using machine learning. The company raised $11.8 million in funding, including a $9 million Series A led by American Express Ventures, before being acquired by American Express in January 2018.
