What AskWhisper is, and how it works

You describe your hotel, AskWhisper builds the website, then runs the messages, upsells and emails from the same place. It reads live data from your PMS and the rest of your stack, so a detail you change once shows up on every channel a traveller uses: your website, WhatsApp, email, voice, webchat and the guest app.

How it works, step by step

From a preview of your website to a platform that keeps itself up to date.

  1. 1

    Get a preview of your website

    Describe your hotel and we build a preview of your website from it. Then we walk you through it on a call, along with the messages, upsells and emails that run from the same place.

  2. 2

    Tell us everything else, once

    Everything you'd tell a traveller and everything you'd rather not repeat twice: rooms, policies, breakfast times, the good bakery round the corner. That becomes the one set of facts every tool reads from.

  3. 3

    Choose your tools

    Pick what you want running: the website, the inbox, the AI receptionist, upsells, digital keys. Your platform is whatever you switch on, and you can add another tool whenever you want it.

  4. 4

    Connect your current stack

    Point AskWhisper at your PMS, your channel manager and your key system. It reads live data from them and writes back. Nothing gets replaced.

  5. 5

    Go live

    Your channels start working. Messages get answered, offers go out on time, emails send themselves, and the site is live.

  6. 6

    Update once, everywhere

    Change a check-in hour, a policy or a breakfast time in one place. Every channel a traveller looks at says the same thing.

The tools you can switch on

Everything AskWhisper can run for you. Switch on what you need now, add the rest whenever you want it.

It sits on top of what you already run

AskWhisper isn't a PMS and it isn't a booking engine. It's the layer in between: it reads your live data, and it publishes to every channel a traveller uses.

Questions hoteliers ask

The basics

Can I add more tools later?

Yes. Every tool reads from the same set of facts about your property, so switching another one on doesn't mean setting anything up a second time. The journey gets stronger the more of it runs from one place, which is why most hotels keep adding to it.

Is AskWhisper a booking engine?

No. AskWhisper sits on top of the systems you already run, including whichever booking engine you use. It reads your live data, puts it everywhere a traveller looks, and sends travellers into that engine with the room and dates they were looking at. The payment never moves through AskWhisper.

Do I have to replace my PMS?

No. AskWhisper reads live data from your PMS and writes back to it, and your reservations stay exactly where they are. It is a layer on top of your existing stack, not a replacement for it. The same goes for your channel manager and your key system.

What happens when I change a check-in hour or a policy?

You change it once and every channel says the same thing. The website, the chat answers, the guest app and the emails all read from the same set of facts about your hotel, so there is no second place to update and nothing left quoting last season's opening hours.

Can my own team still answer messages?

Yes. AskWhisper answers the routine questions and hands anything needing a person straight to your team, in the same inbox, with the whole conversation already there. Your team can step into any thread at any point, and AskWhisper stops replying to that one.

Integrations

What if I don't have a PMS?

Most of AskWhisper works without one. The website, the webchat, the knowledge base, the AI receptionist and the journey emails all run on the facts you give us. Connecting a PMS adds the reservation-aware parts: the shared inbox, and digital check-in and keys.

Getting started

How long does setup take?

Most properties go live within a few days. You describe the property, the first version of everything you switched on comes back from that description, and connecting your PMS is a matter of approving access. There's no migration and no data-entry project to work through first.

Do I need someone technical to run it?

No. Everything is edited in one place, in plain language, the same way you described the property in the first place. Connecting a PMS or a key system is done by approving access rather than by writing anything. There is nothing to host, update or patch.

Who writes the website and the answers?

AskWhisper writes the first version from your description, then you edit it. That covers your website pages, the answers the chat gives and the journey emails. Whatever you change is what a traveller sees, and a change made once applies everywhere that fact appears.
