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]
