Most hotels already run a property management system, a channel manager, a booking engine and a guest messaging app, plus WhatsApp and email on the side. What is usually missing is the workflow between them: pre-arrival messages sent by hand, service requests lost between shifts, and loyalty that stops at checkout. I build AI assistants and automations that connect these tools, answer routine guest questions and route requests to the right team. Your team approves anything that needs a human eye.

Free direct booking & guest message audit

    Simulation with sample data. Real timing depends on your volumes, systems and team.

    Stage 01

    Guest messages & pre-arrival

    Questions answered and the stay planned before the guest arrives.

    Guest messaging assistant

    Routine questions about breakfast, parking, check-in times and directions are answered on WhatsApp and web chat from your own house information, in the guest's language. Complaints, refunds and anything unusual go straight to a member of your team.

    Simulate this for my business →

    Pre-arrival upgrades & add-ons

    A few days before arrival, each guest gets offers that match their booking: a room upgrade, late checkout, breakfast or an airport transfer. You set the offers and prices, and the front desk confirms each upgrade.

    Simulate this for my business →
    Stage 02

    Check-in & room access

    Shorter queues at the desk and keys ready when the room is.

    Online check-in & mobile keys

    Check-in links go out at the right time before arrival, and mobile keys are sent to compatible door locks once the room is ready. Any problem is flagged to the front desk, and your team can cancel or reissue a key at any point.

    Simulate this for my business →
    Stage 03

    Service during the stay

    Every request reaches the right team, first time.

    Service request routing

    Requests from guest chat become housekeeping, maintenance or room service tasks, assigned to the right team with a room number and due time. Urgent issues are flagged to the duty manager, and the guest is told when to expect help.

    Simulate this for my business →
    Stage 04

    Reviews & return stays

    A strong reputation and guests who book direct next time.

    Review reply drafts

    New reviews from booking sites and maps are collected in one place and a reply is drafted in your voice. Low scores reach the duty manager the same day, and nothing is posted until a manager approves it.

    Simulate this for my business →

    Return-stay offers

    Past guests are invited back at the time they usually travel, with a direct booking link and the preferences they had last time. Your team approves each campaign before it goes out.

    10 modules

    Guest experience & revenue modules

    Ten modules that read your booking, messaging and service data, and show where time and revenue are lost.

    Direct Booking Follow-up

    Follows up unfinished bookings and quote requests from your website, so fewer guests go to booking sites.

    FAQ

    Questions I get asked

    Something else on your mind? Ask me on a short call.

    Will this work with the systems we already use?

    Yes. I build on top of your existing property management system, channel manager and messaging tools, for example Opera, Mews or Cloudbeds, plus WhatsApp Business and email. Where a system has an API or integration, I connect to it directly. Where it does not, we use exports, shared inboxes or simple forms. You keep your current tools and your team keeps working the way it does.

    Will the assistant message guests without us knowing?

    Only if you want it to. Routine answers, like breakfast times or parking, can go out automatically using your own house information. Anything sensitive, such as complaints, refunds, billing questions or review replies, runs in "draft for approval" mode, so a member of your team checks it first. The assistant hands over to a person whenever it is unsure.

    Can it handle room access and digital keys?

    It can connect to compatible mobile key and door lock systems to send keys, check-in links and access codes at the right time. Access rules stay in your existing lock and PMS setup, and your team can cancel or reissue a key at any point. I do not replace your access control system. I automate the messages and steps around it.

    How do you handle guest data and security?

    Guest data stays in your own systems wherever possible. Before building, we agree what the AI can see, where data is stored and processed, and how long it is kept, in line with the data protection rules where you operate, such as UK GDPR or the UAE's PDPL. Passport and payment details are never passed to the AI, and access is limited by role and logged.

    Do I need to be technical?

    No. I set everything up, connect the tools and show your team how it works. Day to day, your staff approve drafts, pick up handed-over messages and read the morning dashboard, all from tools they already use. If something needs changing, like a new offer or updated house information, you tell me in plain language and I update it.

    Does this work for a small or independent property?

    Yes. A boutique hotel or a handful of serviced apartments often benefits most, because the same few people handle bookings, messages and service requests. Starting with a guest messaging assistant and pre-arrival messages usually frees up the most time. Larger groups can add multi-property reporting and shared workflows later.

    How long does it take, and what does it cost?

    It depends on your tools, the size of your property and the use cases you start with. A first workflow, such as a guest messaging assistant, can often be running within a few weeks. A short call gives you a clear scope, timeline and price for the first step, so you know what you are getting before any work starts.
