The basics

What is an AI concierge for hotels?

An AI concierge for hotels is a voice and messaging agent that handles the requests a concierge desk gets: room service, housekeeping, restaurant and spa questions, local tips, and bookings. HeyKoala answers every call and WhatsApp in the guest's language, 24/7, then completes the request or routes it to the right team.

What it handles

Everything a guest asks the concierge desk.

Guest requests

Towels, a late checkout, a broken AC. Each request becomes a tracked task for the right team and is chased until it is closed.

Service desk

In-room dining

Guests order by voice or WhatsApp. The AI suggests dishes, flags dietary needs, takes payment and pushes the order to your POS.

In-room dining

Bookings and availability

Extra nights, room changes and new stays are checked against live availability and written into your PMS, with confirmation on WhatsApp.

Reservations AI

Property and local questions

Pool hours, breakfast timings, the nearest pharmacy, how to reach the airport. Answered from the property information and SOPs you give it.

AI front desk

Upgrades and add-ons

Before arrival and during the stay, the AI offers upgrades, spa, dining and transfers, on your rates and your rules.

Pre-arrival outreach

Check-ins on the stay

The AI asks how the stay is going and alerts a manager the moment something is wrong, so you fix it before checkout.

Guest feedback

How it works

From “can I get” to done.

  1. Step 1

    The guest calls or messages

    Phone or WhatsApp, any hour, in Hindi, Arabic, Tamil, English or 20+ other languages. No IVR menu and no hold music.

  2. Step 2

    The AI understands and checks

    It recognises the guest and their booking, checks your PMS, menu and property information, and works out what they actually need.

  3. Step 3

    It gets done, or goes to the right person

    Orders, bookings and requests are completed or turned into tasks for housekeeping, F&B or the front desk. Edge cases go to a human with the full context.

Frequently asked questions

AI concierge FAQs.

What is an AI concierge for hotels?

An AI concierge for hotels is a voice and messaging agent that handles the requests a concierge desk gets: room service, housekeeping, restaurant and spa questions, local tips, and bookings. HeyKoala answers every call and WhatsApp in the guest's language, 24/7, then completes the request or routes it to the right team.

Does an AI concierge replace my concierge team?

No. It takes the repetitive volume: room service orders, towels, timings, directions, simple bookings. Your team gets the requests that need a person, with the guest's details already captured, and every call is answered even when the desk is busy.

Is HeyKoala's AI concierge voice or chat?

Both. The same agent answers phone calls and WhatsApp messages, and remembers the guest across both, so a request made on a call can be confirmed on WhatsApp.

Which languages does the AI concierge speak?

26+ languages, including Hindi, Arabic, Tamil, Bengali and accented English, so guests can ask in the language they are most comfortable in.

Which PMS and POS systems does it work with?

eZee is live for PMS write-back today, with Oracle Opera and Mews on the integration roadmap. For F&B, HeyKoala connects to POS systems such as PetPooja, Restroworks and Rista. See the integrations page for the full list.

How long does it take to set up an AI concierge?

Independent hotels can start answering calls in about 10 minutes, then connect the PMS and menus. Chains typically go live on the first property in 3 to 5 weeks, and additional properties in days.

How is the AI concierge different from HeyKoala's AI front desk?

It is the same platform. The AI front desk covers reservations and first contact; the concierge covers everything a guest needs once they are booked or in-house. Most hotels run both on one number.
