Overview
How each tool is described
chatlyn
What is chatlyn?
chatlyn is a hospitality guest communication platform that brings WhatsApp, email, webchat, Booking.com, Instagram, and Facebook Messenger conversations into one PMS-connected inbox. Reservation and guest data can appear beside each conversation, while AI handles supported interactions and PMS-triggered automation manages communications across the guest journey.
- Guest messaging: PMS integrations can synchronize reservation details, stay history, guest language, notes, preferences, and other profile information into chatlyn. Teams therefore see the conversation and relevant booking context in the same workspace rather than switching between the PMS and individual messaging applications.
- AI automation: chatlyn’s AI chatbot operates on WhatsApp and webchat, answering routine hotel questions around the clock in 100+ languages and handing conversations to staff when human judgment is required. PMS-triggered Guest Journey automation can send pre-arrival information, in-stay messages, upsell offers, and post-checkout communications based on booking and stay events.
- Implementation checks: buyers should assess PMS compatibility, required messaging channels, property and portfolio structure, AI knowledge sources, WhatsApp Business API requirements, escalation rules, and which PMS fields are available for personalization and automation. chatlyn currently lists more than a dozen direct PMS integrations alongside APIs, webhooks, and middleware options.
- Commercial considerations: pricing is custom and calculated per room across the properties covered by an agreement. chatlyn states that there are no per-agent, integration, or AI-usage fees and no feature-based package tiers. WhatsApp and SMS usage costs are passed through separately, and additional WhatsApp inboxes carry an extra charge.
chatlyn is particularly relevant to hotels and hotel groups that want guest conversations, PMS context, multilingual AI assistance, and automated guest journeys managed from one hospitality-specific communication environment.
myma.ai
What is Myma.ai?
Myma.ai is a hospitality-focused AI guest communication platform for hotels, resorts, holiday parks, and other accommodation operators. Formerly known as Book Me Bob, it now combines AI chat, voice, email, proactive guest messaging, a unified communications inbox, and a digital compendium around the guest journey.
- Guest communication: Myma’s AI assistants answer property questions, reservation enquiries, and service requests across website chat, WhatsApp, SMS, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, email, and phone-related workflows. Conversations that require staff attention can be handed to hotel teams with their existing context, while the Unified Inbox centralizes multiple communication channels and supports assignment and follow-up.
- Booking and hotel-system data: integrations determine how much live context the AI can use. Amadeus iHotelier and SHR WindSurfer provide live rates, availability, and booking data; RMS Cloud adds availability plus guest and stay information; Oracle OPERA Cloud provides guest profiles, reservation details, and stay context. Myma can also generate personalized booking-engine links from dates and guest details collected through chat, email, or voice, including links sent by SMS after a phone enquiry.
- Voice, email, messaging, and digital concierge: Voice AI handles reservations, common questions, and in-stay requests before routing more complex calls to staff. The Email Assistant works inside Outlook or Myma’s inbox and supports AI-drafted or automated replies. Guest Messaging can trigger pre-arrival, in-stay, and post-stay communications, while the Digital Compendium gives guests a mobile or QR-based guide for property information, service requests, dining, spa bookings, upsells, and other stay content.
- Platform and commercial considerations: Myma’s core capabilities can be used as an integrated suite or as individual products, with integrations also extending into systems such as SiteMinder, Mews, Revinate, Zendesk, Flexkeeping, and supported telephony providers. Functionality varies by connector and channel, so PMS and booking-engine compatibility materially affects what can be automated. Myma does not publish standard self-service prices; agreements can include setup, subscription, and applicable usage charges.
Myma.ai is most relevant to hospitality operators that want one AI layer spanning pre-booking questions, reservation assistance, phone and email handling, proactive guest communication, in-stay service requests, and digital concierge experiences while retaining human handoff when needed.
