Overview

Quicktext
What is Quicktext?
Quicktext was rebranded as Quinta in January 2026. The current platform has expanded beyond its original hotel chatbot positioning into a hospitality data, AI, and distribution platform built around structured hotel information, the Velma guest assistant, operational AI, direct-booking workflows, and distribution of hotel data to search engines and AI environments.
- Guest conversations and operational AI: Velma remains Quinta’s guest-facing virtual assistant, supporting hotel interactions through channels including live chat, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and WeChat in 38 languages. The newer Q-I engine behind Velma can interpret guest intent, query hotel data, select workflows, and execute 62 documented hospitality processes spanning reservations, upgrades, check-in, restaurants, housekeeping, maintenance, payments, billing, and other service requests.
- Structured hotel data: Q-Data now structures and continuously updates more than 4,200 data points per hotel covering amenities, services, policies, reservations, rooms, dining, leisure, and other property information. Quinta’s newer Q-Channel distributes this governed data across hotel websites, OTAs, GDS, metasearch services, and AI environments, while Q-SEO uses the same information to generate multilingual structured FAQs for search and AI visibility.
- Sales and guest automation: Q-Sales centralizes leads generated by Velma and tracks them from initial inquiry through booking, including request value, status, priority, agent notes, and conversion reporting. Q-Automate uses PMS, CRM, and conversational data to trigger pre-stay, in-stay, and post-stay messaging, upgrades, cross-sells, check-in communications, and satisfaction surveys through channels such as SMS and WhatsApp; Q-Mail handles corresponding email automation.
- Connectivity and commercial model: Q-Connect currently documents integrations with more than 100 booking engines, 50 PMS platforms, and 30 CRM connections, alongside task-management, upselling, restaurant, and other hotel systems; APIs, CSV transfers, Zapier, and custom integrations are also supported. Quinta’s current Premium package starts at $299 per month, with pricing based on the number of hotel rooms and including Q-Data, Velma, Q-Connect, Q-Automate, Q-Sales, Q-Task, Q-Hub, Q-SEO, Q-Mail, and related services.
Quinta is most relevant to hotels and hotel groups that want guest-service automation, direct-booking support, operational workflows, and AI/search visibility built on the same structured and continuously maintained property-data layer.
DialogShift
What is DialogShift?
DialogShift is a hospitality AI platform for managing guest communication across website chat, WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, phone, email, guest apps, and proactive journey messaging. Its products share hotel-specific knowledge and can connect with booking engines, PMS platforms, and other hospitality systems to answer questions, support direct bookings, and automate selected communication workflows.
- Guest communication: Chat AI handles inquiries across supported messaging channels in 120+ languages, with context-based handover to hotel staff when needed. Its Booking Agent can access real-time availability, room categories, and rates through supported integrations and guide guests from an inquiry through to booking confirmation.
- Connected AI: the DialogShift AI Database provides centralized hotel knowledge from sources such as URLs, PDFs, onboarding documents, FAQs, and images. That knowledge supports products including Chat AI, Booking Agent, Phone AI, and Email AI, while system integrations can add live booking and operational context. Email AI currently drafts personalized responses for staff to review and send, rather than autonomously sending every email.
- Implementation checks: hotels should assess booking-engine and PMS compatibility, knowledge-base quality, required channels, staff-handover rules, property structure, and the level of guest-journey automation required. Journey Messaging AI can use event-based triggers from PMS or other systems to run multi-step communications through WhatsApp, email, and SMS.
- Commercial considerations: the AI Platform base costs €200 per month. Chat AI costs €1 per room per hotel per month, with a €100 minimum, while Phone AI costs €2 per room per hotel per month, with a €200 minimum. Email AI is €50 monthly, and Journey Messaging AI costs €1 per room with a €150 minimum, so total cost depends on the modules selected.
DialogShift is particularly relevant to hotels and hotel groups that want chat, phone, booking assistance, email drafting, and proactive guest messaging built around a shared hospitality-specific AI knowledge environment.
