Short answer

How can I track checkouts and open dates with my AI?

Your AI pulls live data from Hostaway to identify when guests are leaving and which dates are currently unbooked. You get a clear view of your turnover schedule and vacancy gaps.

The outcomes

What you get from these insights

The AI processes your Hostaway data into these specific outcomes.

TURNOVER

Departure tracking

The AI identifies which properties have guests checking out soon. You'll know exactly when your cleaning crew needs to step in.

VACANCY

Open date spotting

The AI scans your calendar for gaps between bookings. It finds the specific dates you can push for last-minute bookings.

PLANNING

Schedule summaries

The AI compiles your upcoming reservation list into a readable format. This helps you see the week ahead at a glance.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI book a new guest for me?

    No. The current tools only allow the AI to read your reservations and calendar data.

  • 02

    Can the AI change my existing reservation dates?

    No. The AI can see your bookings, but it cannot modify them. You must make all changes in Hostaway.

  • 03

    Does the AI see my guest's private contact info?

    The AI sees the reservation data provided by the tools, which includes guest details necessary to identify the booking.

  • 04

    How often does the AI see updates to my calendar?

    The AI sees the data in real time whenever you ask it a question, as it pulls fresh data from Hostaway each time.

  • 05

    Can I ask about specific properties?

    Yes. As long as the property is part of your Hostaway account, the AI can filter information for it.
