hostAI

What problem does hostAI solve?

Short-term rental managers give up a large share of each booking to channel commission, and the branded website they run alongside those channels usually converts too poorly to pull guests across to direct.

What does hostAI do?

hostAI sells three connected products for rental brands. hostFront builds short-term rental websites with a dedicated booking engine. hostMail runs automated guest email campaigns aimed at repeat stays. hostDistro runs automated ad campaigns targeted at an operator's likely guests.

How does hostAI work?

Sites are set up with a guided onboarding and go live in under five days. The system reads a portfolio to work out the demand drivers behind each property, then generates landing pages around them for search visibility. Branding is controlled through a brand book and custom pages. On-site conversion features include live price comparison against Airbnb, price alerts, cart abandonment recovery and persuasion nudges. Guest emails are personalised and tone-adjustable, with engagement tracking.

Who is hostAI for?

Property managers and rental brands running roughly five to two hundred plus listings, with plans split by portfolio size and monthly email volume, and connections to property management systems including Guesty, Hostaway, Hostfully and OwnerRez.
