The job

Octo does what your
front-of-house team does.

Answers the enquiry

Rates, availability, what's included, how to get there. In seconds, in the guest's own language, at three in the morning.

Quotes the stay

Checks your live availability, prices the dates and puts the options in front of the guest while they are still interested.

Takes the booking

Captures the details, confirms the stay and writes it into your PMS. Direct, with no commission going to anyone else.

Handles the changes

Extensions, early arrivals, late check-outs, cancellations. The back-and-forth that eats your team's whole morning.

Sells the extras

Parking, an extra night, a later check-out. Offered on every enquiry, not only when somebody remembers to ask.

Looks after the stay

Wi-Fi codes, maintenance issues, local recommendations, check-out instructions. The guest asks once and gets an answer.

Chases the payment

Deposit reminders, outstanding balances, the payment link sent for the third time. The follow-up nobody enjoys doing.

Sorts the paperwork

Booking confirmations, invoices, and the documents a corporate booker needs before their own finance team will sign anything off.

Knows when to stop

The moment something needs a person, your team gets the alert and takes over mid-conversation, with the whole history already there.

The difference

The difference Octo makes.

The same enquiry, on a Tuesday night.

Without Octo
  • 22:40 An enquiry lands. Two-bed, three weeks, from the 14th.
  • 09:15 Somebody opens the inbox the next morning.
  • 11:00 Availability checked, quote written, email sent.
  • 11:20 The guest booked somewhere else last night.

Lost — or won back through an OTA, minus the commission.

  • 22:40 The same enquiry lands.
  • 22:40 Octo answers, checks availability and sends the options.
  • 22:44 Guest picks one and adds a requirement. Answered.

Won. Direct, at full margin, while everyone was asleep.

In your control

Octo works inside
the lines you draw.

The worry with an AI talking to guests is that it says something you never would. So you decide what it can agree to, and you see everything it does.

Rules Octo follows
Never quote below your rate card
Never confirm a stay under the minimum
Never promise an early check-in
+ Add a rule
Rules it will not break

Write the lines Octo must not cross — your rates, your minimum stay, your check-in times. Anything outside them, Octo will not agree to.

Needs a person
Complaint about the cleaning

Guest is asking for money back. Outside what Octo can agree.

Read it Take over
Hands over when it should

Complaints, refunds, anything needing judgement. Your team gets the alert and picks the conversation up where Octo left it, with the whole history attached.

Live
22:47 Booking confirmed — Riverside, 14 Mar

Nothing happens out of sight

Every conversation is there to read while it is still happening. Step in whenever you want, or leave Octo to it and read the summary in the morning.
