In this webinar, Hostaway’s team is joined by Kyle Loveland, CEO of Dream Space Luxury Rentals and Hostaway Special Projects Lead, to explore practical ways short-term rental operators can use AI today.
You’ll learn how to go beyond simple Q&A with ChatGPT and tap into its generative, insights-driven power. Kyle shares three actionable AI prompts that property managers can apply immediately to save time, boost efficiency, and increase revenue.
What you’ll discover in this session:
✅ How to analyze financial reports with AI to uncover booking trends, optimize ADR, and reduce turnover costs.
✅ How to create custom web pages (like FAQ sections) for your direct booking site—even if you’re not a developer.
✅ How to analyze guest conversations, identify FAQs, and generate message templates to streamline guest communication.
We also introduce the CRIT framework (Context, Role, Interview, Task) to help you write powerful AI prompts that deliver the best results.
Whether you’re new to AI or already experimenting, this session gives you concrete examples, tools, and strategies to get started today.
