Who it's for

  • Short-term rental property managers who want routine questions about property details and check-in handled automatically.
  • Teams managing multiple listings through a supported property management system or booking channel.
  • Property managers who need guest-message automation that can escalate cases when context is unclear or sensitive.

Not the right fit if…

  • Teams that need every complex or sensitive guest issue resolved without staff involvement: HostyAI says it alerts or escalates those cases.

How it fits your workflow

Connect properties through an existing PMS or booking channel. HostyAI receives guest messages and checks the reservation, property context, rules, and availability.

For common questions, it sends a response automatically when confident. When context is unclear, it can suggest a reply; complex or sensitive issues are flagged for the team.
