Should I use AI to answer guest messages?

Published October 1, 2026 · 1 minute read

The answer

AI can assist drafting, but messages need accurate property facts, reservation context, and appropriate human oversight. Do not allow a tool to invent amenities, policies, refunds, or repair promises. Handle sensitive data and access through approved processes.

Test difficult scenarios and define escalation. The guest-facing commitment remains part of your operation regardless of how the wording was generated.

This answer is general education. Apply it to the property's actual location, agreements, and circumstances. Where a decision requires professional advice, use a qualified adviser.
