Best practices: Assigning AI agents to your team

This article explains Guesty's suite of AI agents and how they align with the typical roles and departments within a property management company. You can use this guide to understand which agents can help automate tasks and improve efficiency for each of your teams.

Guest services and communication team

This team manages guest relationships, answers inquiries, tracks commitments, and maintains your public reputation.

• Saved-Replies Optimizer: Continuously reviews and refines communication templates to ensure the ReplyAI Autopilot drafts high-quality, professional answers.
• Guest Commitment Tracker: Reads active chat threads to detect any physical promises made to guests, such as promising extra towels or a late check-out.
• ReplyAI: Reviews: Automatically publishes public thank-you responses to positive reviews and drafts professional replies for mixed feedback for your team's approval.

This team owns your portfolio's pricing strategy, occupancy rates, and average daily rate (ADR) performance.

• PriceOptimizer: Automatically adjusts rates dynamically in real-time based on local market demand, competitor pacing, and seasonal changes.
• Base Price Calibrator: Establishes the ideal base foundation pricing for your properties so dynamic tools operate from an accurate baseline.
