AI front desk for hotel websites and social channels

Capture the bookings hotels lose when no one is there to answer.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Still have a question? Ask an engineer on WhatsApp.

Why is Direct Chat more strategic than a generic support bot?

It is designed for hospitality conversion. Every conversation is shaped around booking intent, room discovery, availability and keeping the guest on the hotel side of the funnel.

Where does Direct Chat fit in the wider KloudBoy offering?

It works well as a standalone subscription, and becomes even stronger when paired with Direct Rate as part of a complete direct-booking ecosystem.

Who gets the most value from it first?

Hotels with meaningful website traffic, international guests or limited front desk staffing usually see the clearest need for an always-on AI conversation layer.

Which channels does Direct Chat work on?

Direct Chat runs on hotel websites and social channels, so guests can start a conversation wherever their booking intent first appears.

Does Direct Chat replace front desk staff?

No. It answers common questions instantly so your team does not need to cover every digital touchpoint around the clock, and it hands qualified leads or complex requests to your staff when needed.
