The problem it solves

Guest emails about dirty rooms, broken air conditioning, or billing disputes land in one inbox and someone has to read each one, figure out who should handle it, and forward it along. Urgent complaints can sit unnoticed for hours while guests wonder if anyone read their message at all.

Who it fits

Hotels, resorts, and hospitality teams that handle guest complaints and requests by email.

How it works

  1. New guest email arrives in Outlook
  2. AI reads the message and extracts guest and issue details
  3. Email is classified by department and checked for sentiment
  4. Urgent or negative complaints are flagged to the duty manager
  5. Guest receives an automatic acknowledgment and status update
What you get

Guest complaints reaching the right desk instantly

Guest emails reach the right department automatically, with urgent complaints flagged straight to your duty manager.

What you get

A classified, routed complaint with the right department notified and the guest automatically acknowledged.

What you need

A Microsoft Outlook account, an OpenAI or Google Gemini account, and a team chat tool like Slack.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
