Overview
Most AI solutions in hospitality today focus on guest communication. But answering questions is only part of the story. Sirma’s Hospitality AI Agent, powered by Sirma.AI Enterprise, goes further – transforming guest interactions into real-time operational actions. By connecting directly to hotel systems such as PMS, CRM, and operational platforms, the agent helps hotels automate workflows, reduce manual coordination, and deliver faster, more consistent service across the entire guest journey.
The Challenge
Hotel operations rely on multiple systems that rarely work together seamlessly.
This leads to:
- Manual coordination across departments
- Delays in handling guest requests
- Increased workload for staff
- Inconsistent service delivery
At the same time, most AI tools remain limited to front-end interactions, without real integration into operational workflows.
The Solution
Sirma’s Hospitality AI Agent (Vela) acts as a connected operational layer within the hotel ecosystem.
Built on Sirma.AI Enterprise, it:
- Interacts with guests via chat or voice
- Connects to PMS and operational systems
- Retrieves real-time data
- Executes tasks across departments
Unlike traditional chatbots, the agent does not just respond – it acts. A guest request can instantly trigger housekeeping, maintenance, or front desk workflows, reducing the need for manual intervention.
How It Works
- Guest Interaction – Guests communicate naturally via chat or voice
- AI Understanding – The agent interprets requests using advanced knowledge retrieval architecture
- System Integration – Connects securely to PMS, CRM, and other systems
- Action Execution – Converts requests into real operational tasks
- Real-Time Updates – Keeps guests and staff informed instantly
