Reside

Thanks @m1lesv, we happen to agree. My partner @kevinleehenry and I hope to alleviate the hassle that comes with the current options of booking hotels. The friction that stands between you and your reservation doesn't need to exist and it's something we hope to eliminate with RESIDE. Please feel free to contact either of us with any questions you may have. Thanks again!

@blakepanzino @kevinleehenry for sure man. less steps the better. How did you guys come up with the idea? Always love hearing founder stories

@m1lesv Blake and I came up with the idea for RESIDE after we grew frustrated with the shear number of hotel options we had to sift through on something like Expedia. We both preferred unique boutique or higher end hotels, but sometimes it's a challenge to discover those when your presented with a thousand hotels when all we really wanted is a product that would help us quickly and easily find those cool hotels. There isn't much more simple than a conversational interface and since we curate every single hotel in our database you can be sure that it is going to be a great hotel wherever you go. I think you'll find using RESIDE is much faster and more convenient than any other hotel search product. Let us know what you think after you use it!

@hook_taylor Thanks for checking it out! Suggestions for destinations as well area specific recommendations are coming soon, we think it's a great way to add in a more personal element into the AI. We are also working on having the AI learn more about your preferences which will also yield more relevant results when you're trying to find a hotel in a new city. Right now, as you can tell, we have focused on the US market but will be rolling out new markets and hotels quickly (including international). Our hope is to work with Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, etc as platforms to enable users in other counties to avoid paying high SMS fees. We also have an iOS and Android app in the works :-)
