The Bookboost AI Agent is a built-in layer of intelligence inside your Unified Inbox that handles guest conversations automatically across every channel you use.
It sits between your guest channels and your team. When a guest sends a message, the AI Agent reads it, checks the configured knowledge base, decides whether it can answer, and either replies or escalates to a human.
What the AI Agent does today
Responds automatically across 4 channels: Email, SMS, WhatsApp, and Expedia
Multi-language: handles and replies in the guest's language without manual translation
Replies, resolves tickets, or hands off to a human
Answers from knowledge you provide. You give it knowledge items about your property, and it answers from those. You can type them in, or import them from your website, a document, or another agent. See How the AI Agent learns.
Works inside the same Unified Inbox your team already uses, so handovers carry the full thread with them
Answers questions about a guest's own reservation. On WhatsApp, SMS, and email, once the guest verifies with their booking reference, the AI Agent can answer questions about their booking — dates, nights, party size, extras, total, and status. See Answering reservation questions: how guest verification works.
Recognises returning guests. The AI Agent adapts its tone using a high-level picture of the guest's history and preferences, never their personal details. See How the AI Agent recognises returning guests.
Can draft instead of send. Switch on draft mode and the agent writes its reply but leaves it in the operator's composer, for someone on your team to send, edit or reject. See Draft mode: letting an operator check the agent before it sends.
What the AI Agent does not do today
No responses on Booking.com. Guest messages on Booking.com still need to be handled by your team.
Reads text only in a conversation. If a guest sends an image, a voice note or a document, the agent hands off rather than reading it. (You can upload documents to teach the agent — that is a different thing, done in the Knowledge tab.)
No PMS actions. It cannot modify reservations, post charges, or take actions in your PMS.
Reservation answers need a verified channel. The AI Agent can only answer reservation questions on WhatsApp, SMS, or email, and only after the guest has verified. It cannot verify on Expedia, web messenger, or social channels.
Cannot self-train. It does not learn from past conversations on its own. A new kind of guest question needs a new knowledge item before the agent can handle it.
For the full list, see What the AI Agent does not do today.
A note on naming
The platform labels these agents Bot on some screens — you will see New BB Bot, "your bot", and "test the bot" in Inbox Settings and the configuration area. It is the same thing this help centre calls the AI Agent.
