AI Duh: AI-responder for Hostaway
AI Duh is a Chrome extension tailored to Hostaway users, significantly reducing their writing time by offering AI-generated responses. This tool utilizes three primary information sources: a property-specific knowledge document, guest data, and past chat history, ensuring contextually relevant and empathetic communication. It alternates between OpenAI's GPT-4o and GPT NeoX 20B models to produce high-quality text, often indistinguishable from human writing. Despite being in beta, AI Duh promises seamless and efficient guest interaction, potentially saving users considerable time with its prefilled response feature for quicker edits. Currently, the extension offers a trial price while preparing for future developments like mobile and cross-platform compatibility.
