It’s no longer a question of if Artificial Intelligence is coming in the short-term rental industry, it’s a matter of how it’s being applied! Revenue management tools use it for dynamic pricing but A.I. is also applied to automate one of the most time-consuming tasks, guest communication, via Vacation Rental Chatbots. Do you know how would they work for your business? Find out!

How do Chatbots work?

In simple terms, a Chatbot (short for Chat Robot) will instantly interact with your clients via written or voice messaging, simulating a human conversation. Using a defined knowledge base, registered phrases and in some cases machine learning, the Chatbot will invite your clients to ask questions, analyze and answer them. You may have already interacted with voice chatbots, such as Amazon Alexa that is popular with property management.

  • Improve guest experience. Instantly provide information about your property and services.
  • Increase extra revenue from additional guest services.
  • Guest verification – additional vetting through social media accounts.
