The problem it solves

Guests text you the same questions over and over: the WiFi password, how the thermostat works, where to eat nearby. Answering them, especially late at night or across time zones, eats into time you don't have. And if you don't answer fast, guests get frustrated and leave you a worse review.

Who it fits

Airbnb hosts and short-term rental managers tired of answering repetitive guest questions.

How it works

  1. A guest sends a message through the chat
  2. The AI searches your property's FAQ documents for the answer
  3. For local questions, it looks up nearby restaurants and attractions
  4. It replies to the guest instantly, remembering earlier questions in the conversation
  5. Every conversation is logged to a spreadsheet for you to review
What you get

Guest questions answered before you wake up

Guests get instant answers to their questions any time of day, pulled straight from your property guide.

What you get

An instant, accurate answer to the guest and a logged record of the conversation for you to check later.

What you need

An OpenAI account, a Pinecone account, a Google Drive account, and a Google Sheets account.

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.
