The AI chat assistant: what it does and how it hands over
It answers the questions you answer by hand, checks live availability for the customer's dates, quotes your real rates and walks them through the booking and deposit. It replies in the language the customer uses, and anything it cannot answer goes to your team.
Last updated November 3, 2026.
What it can do
- Answer "Available ba?" and "Magkano?" with live availability and your real rates.
- Reply in Tagalog, Taglish, Bisaya or English, whichever the customer writes in.
- Take the booking and the deposit, and collect self-drive documents on the booking card.
- Let returning customers check or cancel a booking.
How it hands over
Anything it cannot answer is handed to you or your team, and you can read every conversation, jump in or take over from the chats inbox. Customers always confirm the booking themselves.
What it costs
The assistant is included in the plans marked AI Chat Assistant. It runs on your own AI provider account, which you connect in your dashboard, so you pay the provider directly for the replies and stay in control of that cost. Until a key is connected, chats go straight to you or your team.

Will it make up prices or availability?
