What you can text your AI
Ask for what you need in plain words. The AI does it and checks with you before anything involving money. These examples use made-up homes and guests.
Block dates
Long stays
Add and remove staff codes
Everything the AI can handle:
- Bookings: block dates, change bookings, fix double bookings, approve late checkouts, and draft long-stay quotes for work crews (sent only after your OK)
- Door codes: guest codes on every lock, plus staff codes that work only during cleaning windows
- Guests: answer guest messages, handle cancellations, and reply to reviews
- Listings: edit descriptions, automated guest messages and listing settings on every booking site
- Revenue: totals for Airbnb, Vrbo and your own booking site
- Optional add-ons: filling short gaps between bookings, cleaner check-ins, supply orders, and costs and profit by home
Anything involving money waits for your OK.
The core
Foundation: run your rentals by chat
Ask in plain words. Your assistant makes the change in your booking system, and it syncs to every connected channel.
Your booking system, by chat
Check bookings, block dates, change prices and minimum stays, move a booking, and see revenue by channel, including Airbnb. No more logging into each site.
Learn more →A door code for every booking
A door code is created for every booking and saved to the reservation. By chat, add or remove guest and staff codes on all your locks at once, like removing a former cleaner's code or limiting cleaner codes to cleaning windows. Low-battery alerts tell you to change batteries before a guest gets stuck.
Learn more →Long-stay pricing and quotes
For work crews and other long stays, it prices the stay with your long-stay discounts, helps with the back-and-forth, and drafts the quote for your approval.
We handle setup
Accounts stay in your name. We connect your property management software, channels and locks. Not using property management software yet? We'll get you set up.
Built on the Foundation
Add-ons
Add what you need, when you need it.
Direct booking website
Your own site where guests book directly. Live calendar and prices from your booking system, secure card payments, and hosting handled by us. Want to change something? Just ask in chat, like "swap the main photo" or "add a section for work crews," and your site gets updated. No web developer needed. See ours at stays.elitepropertiesstr.com.
Learn more →Operations and cleaner assistant
- Cleaner schedules and new-booking alerts by text or group chat
- Confirms your cleaner is coming and when the clean is done, and follows up if they go quiet
- Passes guest questions to your cleaner, like a left-behind hair dryer
- Guest is missing something after check-in, like toilet paper: it's added to a delivery cart for your OK, then delivered to the home
- Cleaner needs something during the clean, like mop solution or detergent: it's added to the cart automatically
- Monitors connected devices like cameras, smart locks, smoke detectors and outdoor water timers, and alerts you when one goes offline or something's wrong
Maintenance
When a guest reports something broken, it becomes a ticket that's tracked until it's fixed, so nothing gets lost in a message thread.
Revenue: gap report and closer
See empty nights early. Within rules you set, it shortens the minimum stay on short gaps so they can book, then sets it back.

Bills and Cash: know what each home really makes
The Foundation handles your guests. Bills and Cash handles your bills, cash and profit per home. You don't need the Foundation to use it.
It reads your bills; it never pays them.
Profit per home needs your booking revenue. With the Foundation, that comes in automatically. Without it, we pull revenue from your booking platform reports instead, which takes a little longer.
- Finds utility and card bills in your email, and flags expected bills that haven't arrived
- Files bills by home
- Flags shutoff notices, past-due bills and failed autopays
- Every morning: the cash you can spend after your tracked bills
- Keeps money paid for future stays apart from spendable cash
Hands off

- Every Foundation feature and add-on, plus Bills and Cash
- Cancellations and booking changes handled for you
- Review replies handled for you
- Guest messages handled for you
- Anything involving money waits for your approval

How it fits together
Questions
Do I need property management software?
Yes. If you don't have one, we'll help you set one up.
Will it change things without asking me?
You set the rules. Quotes, refunds, supply orders and anything else involving money wait for your approval.
Which locks work?
Most popular smart lock brands, including Yale, Schlage, August, Kwikset, Lockly and Wyze. You or your cleaner still swap the batteries; you get the alert first.
Do I have to buy everything, or can I start small?
You can start small. The Foundation is the core, add-ons are optional, and Bills and Cash works on its own.
How much does it cost?
Pricing is coming soon. Book a call and we'll walk you through it.
Prefer text or email?
