AI Skills — Custom Rules for Your AI
Define step-by-step playbooks for specific guest scenarios. The AI follows your exact procedure instead of improvising.
What Skills Are
A skill is a deterministic, step-by-step procedure the AI follows for a specific scenario. Instead of improvising how to handle "Can I check in early?", a skill tells it exactly what to do:
- Check if the unit is available before standard check-in
- Check cleaning task status
- If cleaning is done, approve early check-in
- If in progress, message the cleaner for an ETA
- Respond to the guest with the outcome
Skills remove guesswork. The AI follows your procedure every time.
Creating a Skill
- Go to Settings > AI > Skills
- Click Create Skill
- Name it and describe the trigger scenario
- Define steps in order
- Set conditions for each step
- Save and activate
Steps can include: checking data, sending messages, creating tasks, or waiting for a response.
Built-In Templates
- Early check-in request — Calendar check, cleaning coordination, guest response
- Late checkout request — Availability check, pricing, approval flow
- Noise complaint — Sensor data check, guest warning, escalation
- Maintenance request — Issue logging, task creation, guest acknowledgment
Auto-Detection
When the AI handles a situation the same way multiple times, the system suggests saving that pattern as a skill. Review the steps, adjust, and save.
Tips
- Start with built-in templates and customize
- Skills are per-customer — they apply to all properties unless you add listing-specific conditions
- Test new skills in shadow mode first
- One scenario per skill — keep them focused
