About Runnr.ai

Runnr.ai is an AI-driven communication platform designed specifically for the hospitality industry, including hotels, holiday parks, and hostels. It functions as a virtual concierge that automates repetitive guest inquiries through popular messaging channels like WhatsApp and SMS, as well as Online Travel Agency inboxes like Booking.com and Airbnb. By providing instant responses to common questions about check-in procedures, Wi-Fi passwords, or local recommendations, the tool allows front desk teams to focus on providing high-quality, personalized service to guests on-site rather than managing a constant stream of digital queries. This shift ensures that every guest receives immediate attention regardless of how busy the physical lobby might be during peak hours. The platform operates by integrating directly with existing Property Management Systems such as Mews, Opera Cloud, and Cloudbeds. This connectivity enables proactive messaging throughout the guest journey—from booking confirmations and arrival instructions to in-stay feedback requests and check-out processes. A key feature is the Unified Inbox, which consolidates messages from various sources into one interface, ensuring no guest request is overlooked. Additionally, the system includes an automated upsell engine that intelligently offers services like late check-outs, breakfast, or room upgrades at the most relevant times to maximize revenue. Users can track performance through a real-time dashboard that displays satisfaction scores and revenue generated per room. Tailored for diverse accommodation types, Runnr.ai is suitable for everything from boutique hotels to massive holiday parks. Its multilingual capabilities allow guests to message in their native language while staff respond in theirs, with the AI handling the translation in real-time across more than 100 languages. What distinguishes Runnr.ai from generic chatbots is its hospitality-specific training and its ability to handle 95% of guest interactions autonomously. This high level of automation, combined with its ability to facilitate digital door codes and online payments, creates a frictionless experience. By leveraging AI to handle the logistical questions, properties can achieve 5-star guest satisfaction while simultaneously reducing manual workloads and operational costs.
