More direct bookings, fewer unanswered questions.

Guests decide late at night and expect an answer straight away. AI agents answer booking questions at any hour, take direct bookings, look after guests before arrival and ask every guest for a review.

Who this is for: Guesthouses, B&Bs, lodges, boutique hotels, self-catering units and event venues.

Hospitality

Where time and money leak.

Night-time enquiries

Guests plan trips in the evening. An unanswered question becomes a booking on another site.

Commission on every booking

Bookings through online travel agencies carry a commission; direct bookings do not.

Pre-arrival questions

Check-in times, directions, parking, Wi-Fi: the same questions for every guest.

Reviews

Guests choose on recent reviews, but asking every guest takes time.

Function enquiries

Event and group enquiries need several details before you can quote.

How this is worked out

Agency bookings a month x average booking value x your commission rate shows what each booking moved to direct is worth to you. Unanswered enquiries a week x the share who would book x average booking value x 4.33 weeks.

Your figures and chosen agents are added to the booking notes for you to edit before you send anything.

An example day

What a day looks like with AI agents in place.

  1. Yesterday's guests get a thank-you and a review link. One mentions a cold shower; the message comes straight to you.

  2. Tonight's arrivals get directions, check-in time and the gate code instructions.

  3. A couple asks whether you allow dogs and have a room for next weekend. The assistant answers and sends them to your booking page.

The care we take

Built for the rules your industry works under.

  • Card details are never taken in a chat; guests pay through your secure booking or payment link.
  • Availability and rates come from your booking system; the assistant never confirms a room it cannot see.
  • Every guest is asked for a review, not only the happy ones (Google's rules forbid selective requests).
  • Marketing to past guests needs their consent.
  • In the UK, EU and US the same care applies under their own laws (UK GDPR and PECR, the EU GDPR, and US rules such as CAN-SPAM). We confirm the rules for your country before any build.
