AI review replies + CaptiFi

Reply drafts for the Google, Tripadvisor and Yelp reviews in your Review Inbox, for you to edit and post yourself. Coming soon to CaptiFi.

Overview

What does the AI review replies integration do?

Coming soon: Draft AI reply, a button in your CaptiFi Review Inbox that will write a reply to a review from the review text, for you to edit and post yourself. The Review Inbox it builds on is already live on the Essentials plan and above. The AI helper for the dashboard is live too: Capi answers how-to and guest number questions on the Growth plan and above.

Reply drafts are the next AI feature on the way. They sit in the Review Inbox, which already pulls your latest Google, Tripadvisor, Yelp and other reviews into one place on the Reviews page. A Draft AI reply button there will write a short owner reply that refers to what the guest said, for you to edit and then post through the Reply on Google, Reply on Tripadvisor or Reply on Yelp button.

Nothing will be sent to a guest automatically. A reply draft is something you read, edit and post yourself, and CaptiFi never posts on your behalf.

Capi is already here: the bird in the bottom right corner of my.captifi.io answers questions about the dashboard from the CaptiFi help guides, walks you through the real buttons and gives guest totals for a day, a week or a month. It comes with the Growth plan and above.

In the real world

How venues use AI review replies with CaptiFi

Cafe

A cafe owner working through a Monday backlog of Google reviews will be able to edit a drafted reply for each one instead of starting from a blank box.

Pub

A pub manager can already ask Capi how to link Tripadvisor to the Review Inbox, and once drafts arrive will start each reply from one.

Multi-site group

A group already reads every venue's reviews in one inbox, filtered by venue, and will be able to draft a reply for any of them from the same screen.
