Overview
How each tool is described
HiJiffy Voice Virtual Assistant
What is HiJiffy Voice Virtual Assistant?
HiJiffy Voice Virtual Assistant is a hospitality-focused voice-messaging capability within HiJiffy’s Guest Communications Hub. It lets guests send natural spoken requests through supported messaging and social channels, then uses AI to interpret the message and provide an automated hotel response.
- Voice understanding: HiJiffy uses speech-to-text technology, language detection, and natural-language understanding to process voice clips and determine guest intent. Its documentation identifies OpenAI Whisper for transcription and HiJiffy’s Aplysia technology for interpreting hospitality-related requests, without requiring guests to navigate a traditional press-number IVR menu.
- Hotel enquiries: the assistant can handle spoken questions covering common topics such as check-in and check-out times, breakfast, hotel services, and room-booking enquiries. If automation cannot resolve the issue, HiJiffy’s wider conversation workflow supports transferring the interaction to hotel staff.
- Digital voice channels: the current help documentation specifically supports voice clips through WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram. This makes the product primarily a voice-message automation layer within digital guest communications rather than a replacement for a hotel’s conventional inbound telephone system.
- Commercial considerations: HiJiffy prices subscriptions according to room or bed count. Current Pro materials list a single-language Voice Assistant, while Premium documentation supports six voice languages with language autodetection. HiJiffy’s separate voice-assistant documentation still describes availability somewhat differently, so hotels should confirm exact voice-channel and plan entitlement during purchasing.
HiJiffy Voice Virtual Assistant is most relevant to hotels receiving substantial guest voice-message traffic on messaging and social channels and wanting to automate routine spoken enquiries while retaining escalation to human staff.
HiJiffy Booking Assistant
What is HiJiffy Booking Assistant?
HiJiffy Booking Assistant is a hospitality-focused conversational AI that handles pre-booking questions, assists travelers during hotel search and reservation, and directs guests toward booking through the hotel’s own channels.
- Booking assistance: the AI agent answers hospitality FAQs, guides travelers through the reservation process, supports personalized quote requests, can display hotel rates against other booking channels, and hands conversations to staff when requested or when it cannot resolve the inquiry.
- Omnichannel conversations: HiJiffy’s Console can centralize conversations from website chat, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, Booking.com, Expedia, WhatsApp, email, SMS, and other supported channels. Exact channel availability varies by subscription; for example, WhatsApp is included with Premium and offered as an add-on to Pro.
- Hotel-system connectivity: the Booking Assistant integrates with booking engines and can use live availability and pricing during the booking journey. Pro includes supported booking-engine and CRM integrations, while broader guest-journey automation and PMS connectivity sit primarily within the Premium tier. HiJiffy currently lists more than 100 integrations across its hospitality ecosystem.
- Commercial considerations: pricing scales with room or bed count. With yearly payment, Basic starts at €99 per month and Pro at €159, with setup fees starting at €99 and €399 respectively for each five properties. Month-to-month rates are higher, and Premium starts at €319 per month on yearly payment. Pro adds the generative AI chatbot, 132 languages, unlimited knowledge topics, omnichannel capabilities, and advanced reporting.
HiJiffy Booking Assistant is most relevant to hotels that receive significant pre-booking questions across digital channels and want to automate routine reservation assistance while preserving a route to human staff and the hotel’s direct booking engine.
