From Xenia to Ten Stars✨

I asked Claude to make an ad about @markoniAI that feels like content. Wrote a one-line prompt, went to sleep, woke up to this - P.S. - The concept it chose on its own: “HISTORY OF HOSPITALITY” (insane🤯)

Use markoni instead (:

3.5 hours. 35 lessons. One conclusion I did not expect: The next giant in Indian travel may not look like a travel company at all. It might be a 25-year-old outsider who understands AI, owns the experience, and decides to operate the room instead of listing it (hopefully me xD). Here are the 11 key ideas that got me there. @nikhilkamathcio 1/13 🧵 #makemagic✨

When I ask most people what they do, they reply with their job role. Almost treating it as an identity. However, when I ask founders, they usually reply with whatever their company’s mission or vision is. Their “purpose”. Like if you’d ask me, I’d say - “I’m building the world’s first fully automated villa chain” or “I’m building the first hotel on the moon”.

I'm building an AI that runs 100+ stays without needing me - @markoniAI Not a chatbot that recommends restaurants. Not a voice bot that takes reservations. A system that prices nights, finds guests, coordinates staff, requests for reviews and keeps operations moving - Just like a Manager. The future of hospitality isn't more software for more property managers. It's the property manager becoming software.

₹100k/month from your spare flat. But don't answer guests. Don't price nights. Don't coordinate cleaners. Don't chase bookings. For the privilege, keep ₹95,000. We'll take ₹5,000. Property managers made this sound harder than it is.

Everyone is building AI for travel. The people who actually run Taj, MakeMyTrip, Treebo and StayVista just spent 3.5 hours with Nikhil Kamath explaining why most of it will fail. I watched every minute so you don't have to. Condensed in just 35 lessons 👇

Everyone you know is running someone else's source code. Genes wrote the first draft. Parents, teachers and job titles wrote the rest, & now AI... Part 3 is where I stop inheriting purpose & start authoring it - The Blindfold Series finale. #makemagic✨

(first podcast for @markoniAI ) So I was on the Sunny Ray Show today. This video is for anyone that's interested in what we're building and how we got here. #makemagic✨

Dario says society must have a say in how AI is used. That sentence assumes society will have one. We're busy debating his plan to slow down AI, but maybe it's already too late...or maybe it's just a new Blindfold. Read Part 2 to take off the blindfold! 👇

"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others." Government was never sacred. It was technology. Democracy is just the newest version - and the blindfold has just come off. Comment 👇 if you resonate/disagree, I'd love to debate!

The next Airbnb won’t be a marketplace. It’ll be an AI-Native Marriott operating rooms at a scale comparable to Airbnb (10x the size of Marriott). AI will manage and use humans as tools and not the other way round. If you wanna follow the journey check out @markoniAI #makemagic✨

Now that Airbnb is getting into Hotels, it’s the perfect time to double down on STRs! @bchesky I don’t see how you’ll be any different from a booking.com or makemytrip (apart from scale obviously hehe). All the best tho :) (And thanks for opening up an opportunity!)

Travel isn’t booking, it’s belonging. GydeXP blends creators and AI to craft trips from Mahakumbh to Meghalaya—personal, not packaged. Rukam Sitara backed this shift early, when travel tech was transactional. Orbit shifts aren’t about scale, but meaning. #OrbitShift @GydeXp

A proud milestone for @GydeXp as they launch Travel Studio, built to transform hospitality with seamless guest journeys and new revenue opportunities for hoteliers. At Rukam Capital and @RukamSitara , we back founders who don’t just build products but create ecosystems. Travel Studio is a bold step in that direction. @Ajahagirdar @NotRepulsion #GydeXP #RukamCapital #HospitalityTech linkedin.com/posts/gydexp_%F…

which is why aligning humanity > aligning AI type 1 is a long way away and we’ll get there far faster if we aren’t working against ourselves

Type I：10¹⁶ W 🌎

These guys just raised pre-seed to transform the travel experience, with a bet on the rising desirability for bespoke, social-media inspired trips. Imho, interesting as they’re redesigning moments of the travel journey with virality in mind. 🧵
