Frequently asked questions

What can an SMS chatbot do for hospitality?
Two-way AI text messaging that answers questions, confirms details and follows up by SMS, which is useful when customers won't install an app or open email. For hospitality, common starting points are answering availability, pricing and what's-included questions; handling group and event enquiries and capturing requirements; sending pre-arrival information and collecting special requests.
Does it work with the tools hospitality already use?
Yes — the goal is to fit around booking engines, event management platforms and guest messaging tools, not replace them. SMS runs through a carrier-registered number and syncs replies to your CRM, scheduling or ticketing system.
How long does rollout take?
Business texting in the US requires carrier registration (10DLC) and clear opt-in, so setup covers number registration and consent language as well as the conversation design.
How is multilingual guests handled?
AI assistants can respond in the guest's language, which matters when customers book from abroad and staff can't cover every language or time zone.
