💡 This video is part of our free training series to help you grow your short-term rental business and take control away from OTAs.

The team explains how their system integrates directly with major PMS platforms and Airbnb, setting up in just two quick calls. You'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at how Conduit's AI is trained, how it can handle calls, manage escalations, and even support your guest services team. Whether you're a host, property manager, or hotelier, this session is packed with valuable insights on how AI can help futureproof your business.Let's jump in.https://www.conduit.ai/
