Answers what the stay page states
Check-in window, parking, dogs, the wifi, what the kitchen actually has in it and what the house rules say about groups — read back from your own page.
Adoomi sits in the chat window on your own site and answers what your stay pages already state — the check-in window, whether the parking is a bay or a street permit, whether the kitchen is properly self-catering, what the house rules say about dogs and groups. What it will not do is tell a guest those dates are free, because it reads no booking calendar and holds no feed of your stays. The enquiry reaches you with the dates, the party and a contact already on it, and the yes or no stays yours.

Fig. 02.A · pain quotesChangeover is a tight window between one checkout and the next arrival, and the questions arrive inside that window: is there parking, can we get in late, is a dog all right, is the wifi good enough to work from. All of it is written on the stay page the guest is reading. Answering anyway means stopping mid-strip with a phone in one hand — and the ones that land late at night, after the last load of linen, sit unread until morning while the guest keeps reading other places to stay.
Check-in window, parking, dogs, the wifi, what the kitchen actually has in it and what the house rules say about groups — read back from your own page.
Dates, party size, cot or dog, work trip or weekend, a name and a number — sent to you as an email alert with the guest's own question attached.
No date is called free, no total is worked out, no discount is offered and no door code is handed over. Those stay with you or your on-call host.
Pre-booking questions from somebody still comparing places to stay, and mid-stay ones from a guest already holding the keys — both answered from your stay pages, house rules and arrival instructions, and neither answered by guessing. Where a stay page says nothing on a point, the guest hears exactly that, and the enquiry comes to you unanswered.
Adoomi asks what you would ask before answering a short-let enquiry: which stay they mean if you list more than one, arrival and departure, how many adults and children, whether a cot is needed, whether there is a dog, and whether it is a work trip or a weekend. Then it takes a name and a number and stops. What matters is where that lands: on your own page and in your own inbox, while the guest is still reading your stay rather than asking a listing platform the same thing.

Fig. 06.A · after-hoursShort-let enquiries arrive after work and on Sunday nights, when the phone is elsewhere. The chat window keeps answering from your stay pages — check-in window, key collection as your arrival page sets out, the noise rules — in the guest's language. A guest already holding the keys is different: a lockout, no hot water, an alarm nobody can silence is captured with the property and a number, then sent straight to your on-call host. It never says help is coming, because it cannot know.
Check-in and checkout times, whether parking needs a permit, whether the washing machine is in the flat or the block, whether the sofa bed counts towards the sleeps, bin day, whether luggage can be dropped before the room is ready — these come round every stay, and all of it is published. Answered in the chat window, they stop landing on the host's phone. What still needs you is the decision: whether the dates work, whether a group booking is one you want, what a contractor on a long stay pays.
Fig. 08.A · controlsIt reads no booking calendar, so it never calls a date free; dates come to you by email alert with the enquiry attached. It works out no price — where your rates page states what a night costs it repeats that, but it totals nothing up, takes nothing off and names no fee you have not published. Key-safe and door codes it does not hold and will not give out, however good the reason. An owner asking what their flat might earn on short lets gets no view. None of it makes you compliant with anything.
No date is called free and no stay is held. The assistant captures arrival, departure and party size and sends them to you, because confirming a stay is yours to do.
Published rates are repeated as your page states them. Nothing is totalled, nothing is taken off, and no cleaning, pet or late-checkout fee is named that you have not published.
Key-safe and door codes are not held by the assistant and are never typed into a chat, whoever asks. The arrival process your page publishes is as far as it goes.
A lockout, no hot water or an alarm at night is captured with the property and a number and sent straight to the host you named. Nobody is told that help is on its way.
Names, dates and numbers are EU-hosted and can be exported or deleted on request under GDPR. Nothing a guest types goes into a log, and the chat window sets no tracking cookies.
Availability is not something the assistant can see. It reads no booking calendar and holds no feed of your stays, so it takes the dates, the party and a contact, tells the guest plainly that you will confirm, and sends the enquiry on as an email alert with their own words attached.
Discounts are never offered or applied by the assistant. Where your rates page states what a stay costs it can repeat what the page says, but it totals nothing up, takes nothing off, and names no cleaning, pet or late-checkout fee you have not published. Price stays your call.
A lockout is captured and routed, never solved in chat. The assistant takes the property, what has happened and a number, then sends it straight to your on-call host as a WhatsApp handoff or an email alert. It gives out no key-safe or door code at any hour, and it never promises anyone is on the way.
The chat window takes no file uploads at all, so a photograph cannot come through it. The assistant takes the description in words and routes it to your on-call host. Photos reach your team only if the guest sends them after a WhatsApp handoff, once a person is on the conversation.
Investment questions get no answer here. Yield, occupancy, what a property might earn and anything about borrowing against one are captured and routed to you or whoever you name, with no view offered in passing — and tenancy or legal questions go the same way. Nothing here makes you compliant with anything.
Plans run from £0 a month for 50 message credits, then £8 for 200, £20 for 500 and £75 for 4,000. One credit is one AI answer, so the reply that declines to confirm your dates spends a credit and your own reply to the guest does not. Connecting the pages, reading the answers and adding one line takes ~10 min.
Nothing below is a result being promised, and none of it is a booking system. The assistant sits on the stay page, answers from what that page states, and leaves the booking itself exactly where it already is — with you, or with whichever platform you use. What it changes is where the enquiry gets taken and how complete it is when it reaches you.
Parking, check-in, dogs and house-rules questions answered from your stay pages at any hour, in the language the guest writes in.
No stay is called available and no total is worked out. The enquiry arrives with dates, party and contact, and the yes or no is yours.
House rules, arrival instructions and each listing's own detail — nothing from a booking platform, a review site, or a stay you have not published a page for.
Point it at your stay pages, house rules and arrival instructions, then name the destinations: your inbox for enquiries, the on-call host for what happens in the flat, the owner for company bookings. Then try the awkward ones — is it free that weekend, anything off for booking direct, what is the key-safe code — and watch it decline all three and take the enquiry anyway. Reword what does not sound like you, add one line to your website: ~10 min, Free at £0 a month for 50 credits.
