AI assistant + CaptiFi

AI-drafted replies to Google and Tripadvisor reviews in the Review Inbox, plus an analytics assistant for your guest data. Switched on for you on request.

Overview

What does the AI assistant integration do?

CaptiFi has two AI features. Draft AI reply writes a reply to a Google or Tripadvisor review from the review text and your venue details, for you to edit before it is posted. The AI analytics assistant answers questions about your guest data in plain English from the dashboard. Both are switched on for your account on request and are included on the Growth plan and above.

CaptiFi has two AI features, both switched on for your account on request. The Review Inbox pulls your latest Google, Tripadvisor and Yelp reviews into one inbox on the Reviews page and drafts a short, personal owner reply for each one that references what the guest said. Click Draft AI reply, copy it, hit Reply on Google, Reply on Tripadvisor or Reply on Yelp, and paste. Mark reviews replied or dismissed, filter by status, and refresh daily or on demand with Sync now. The Review Inbox is available on the Growth plan and above once switched on.

The analytics assistant answers questions about your venues and guest data in plain English: how many guests visited last month, which day of the week gets the most WiFi logins, how this month compares to last. It only sees your own venues, remembers the conversation so you can drill in, and lets you download the transcript. It is switched on for your account on request: ask us and, once switched on, it appears under Help & Support in your dashboard.

Nothing is sent to a guest automatically. A review reply is a draft you read, edit and post yourself, and the assistant answers questions and drafts text; sending stays your decision.
