A hotel AI voice assistant answers configured phone calls using property-approved information, captures caller intent and contact details, and routes calls or handoffs according to hotel rules.
No PMS access is required for the initial call-answering and lead-capture model. Any future system access should be justified by the specific workflow and approved separately.
Hotels can review answered calls, caller intent, required fields captured, transfer attempts, transfer success, errors, staff follow-up, potential booking value, and confirmed outcomes separately.

Review accuracy, captured intent, transfer behavior, staff follow-up, and documented limitations on the same scorecard.
