In an era where travelers are becoming increasingly demanding and digitally savvy, the hotel industry faces the exciting challenge of continuously optimizing the guest experience. Competition is intense, and an outstanding guest experience is becoming the decisive factor in standing out from the competition. However, personalized guest communication often proves to be a sticking point – manual processes, generic messages, and fragmented systems hinder individual support.
straiv has taken on precisely this challenge and, with the development of its intelligent chatbot for hotels, has created an innovative solution to fundamentally improve the direct and individual interaction between hotels and their guests.
The Evolution of the Guest Directory: From a Former Information Sheet to an Intelligent Digital Concierge
Who doesn’t know it, the classic guest directory in the hotel room? Often dusty and not very interactive or particularly appealing. straiv already raised this standard to a new level years ago with its Digital Guest Directory. This digital solution offers guests all relevant information conveniently on their own device without an additional app:
- Always up-to-date: Information on hotel facilities, services, menus, and events is always current.
- Comfortable and accessible: Guests can access the information selected by the hotel anytime and from anywhere – whether in the hotel room, on the go, or even before arrival.
- Interactive and engaging: Images, videos, and interactive elements make exploring the hotel and its surroundings an experience.
- Environmentally friendly: Reduction of paper consumption through digital provision of all information and the option to cancel room cleaning via the “Green Choice” option.
Individual recommendations: The Digital Guest Directory already makes it possible to provide guests with initial personalized recommendations based on their preferences and booking details.
The Next Step: AI Power for an Unparalleled Guest Experience
But straiv is now taking another decisive step and presenting the new AI-powered chatbot – the ideal complement and logical further development of the Digital Guest Directory into a comprehensive Digital Concierge.. The chatbot is now available in the straiv portfolio as a flexibly bookable add-on.
The current trend in the hotel industry is clear: Artificial intelligence (AI) is finding its way into more and more areas to optimize processes and improve the guest experience. Chatbots, powered by AI, are a key tool in this process. They enable immediate, personalized, and round-the-clock communication with guests. Hotel staff can thus focus more on the truly important concerns instead of constantly dealing with the same standard questions. This preserves the personal touch – but relieved by AI.
The straiv Chatbot: More Than Just a Conversational Partner
The Chatbot from straiv is not a generic solution. It is deeply integrated into the straiv product portfolio and accesses the extensive information on the hotel website and the Digital Concierge. This means: It understands the context, knows the hotel’s offerings, and can provide precise and helpful answers.
The Advantages of the straiv Chatbot at a Glance:
- Improved, personalized guest communication: Offers 24/7 AI-powered support in over 50 languages and enables individual interactions for an optimal guest experience.
