Communication automation and AI

Communication automation and AI

Communication automation and AI

Hospitable offers a strong set of communication and automation tools that support both individual hosts and large property managers. Its AI features are designed to handle real guest conversations, provide insights, and reduce manual work. The platform includes scheduled messages, AI generated reply suggestions, fully automated guest responses, automated vacancy night upsells, an AI assistant that surfaces performance insights, and AI driven review management.

Where Hospitable stands out

  • Complete automation of guest replies rather than simple suggestions

  • Upsells built directly into the platform

  • AI tools that help hosts understand performance and manage reviews

Guesty provides scheduled messages and AI generated suggestions, but it does not offer fully automated guest responses or AI tools that analyze performance or manage reviews. Upsells are available only through third party integrations.
