How it works

  • Trained on your property

    Eli answers from your compendium, local recommendations and tours, with deliberately limited internet access so it sticks to what you have told it.

  • Speaks the guest’s language

    A guest can ask in Mandarin, Spanish or German and get an answer in the same language.

  • Knows when to hand over

    If Eli can’t solve something in two tries, it hands the guest to reception. Medical and safety issues go straight to a human.

  • Private troubleshooting notes

    Add hidden notes, like how to reset the air conditioning, that Eli can use without showing them to guests.

  • Every chat on record

    Read every conversation in the dashboard and spot the questions your compendium should answer up front.
