AI HOSPITALITY AGENT

An answer in seconds. Keep them through the whole stay.

AI agents advise on room types, check availability, help hold a room and look after guests throughout the stay — consistently across the website, Zalo, Messenger and Facebook.

The gaps in the customer journey

Revenue is not only lost at the front desk.
It leaks away before the booking is even made.

Guests can drift off while researching, when they ask on a second channel, when they need help during the stay, or after check-out — simply because nobody answered in time.

The moment a guest needs a definite answer

Before they open an OTA tab to compare prices.

01

Bottleneck · Before booking

Guests ask thoroughly, but the answer arrives too late.

Nightly rates, room types, which way it faces, breakfast, the cancellation policy — every guest asks differently. Half a day’s delay and they have booked elsewhere.

The Hospitality Agent can step in hereGive the rate and availability for the exact dates asked, explain the difference between room types, and keep the conversation going until the guest decides.
One agent · the whole journey

Alongside the guest before they book.
Support continues after check-out.

The Hospitality Agent holds the same room data, policies and guest context across all three stages — so nobody has to explain themselves again at each touchpoint.

01 · Research and advice

Turn a social-media question into a clear booking request.

The agent gives the rate and availability for the exact dates asked, then gathers enough detail for itself or reception to close.

Operational resultsA booking request with clear dates, guest count and room type — enough to move on to holding a room.

Connecting the hotel’s systems

The agent does not stand outside the front desk.
The agent works with the systems you already run.

From the room diary and distribution channels to payments, on-site services and the CRM — each connection states exactly what data is read, which actions are allowed, and which steps need approval.

Illustrative scenario

One message at midnight.
One room-night saved.

A guest asks after reception has gone home. The Hospitality Agent answers immediately, checks the real room diary and keeps them engaged all the way to check-in.

Frequently asked questions

Before you let an agent answer in place of reception.

What hotels usually want cleared up about room data, permissions, distribution channels and rollout.

Your question is not here?The InCard team will work through it around your actual systems and processes.

No. The agent handles the repetitive work and the 24/7 cover — room rates, breakfast times, familiar requests. Reception focuses on the premium experience, difficult cases and decisions that need a person.

The agent covers the shift — reception keeps the decisions.

Next step

Start with one specific guest scenario.
You do not have to replace the whole system.

A workshop to review your guest journey, pick the priority scenario and work out what data to prepare before integration is discussed.

Three inputs to get started

Your room-diary systemThe PMS, or wherever you manage rooms and rates
Distribution channels and OTAsWebsite, Zalo, Messenger and the channel manager you use
Priority use caseThe lost-booking scenario you want to tackle first
The workshop does not require connecting to live systems. Integration scope is agreed only after reviewing the APIs and permissions.
