Automation refers to the use of technology to perform tasks or processes with minimal human intervention. In hotels, automation covers tasks such as booking confirmations and pre-arrival messages, online check-in, answers to routine guest questions, housekeeping status updates and reports. With chatlyn, it means artificial intelligence (AI) answering routine guest enquiries on WhatsApp, webchat, Messenger and Instagram, WhatsApp messages triggered by PMS events such as a new booking, the arrival or the check-out, and pointing guests to the hotel's own booking engine. By automating repetitive tasks, chatlyn frees the team for the conversations that need a person, improves response times and delivers a consistent experience for both hotels and guests.
