The agentic workflow for the same 12 front-desk questions

Agentic workflow for front-desk questions

Your front desk is answering the same 12 questions, 200 times a month. Here's the agentic workflow that handles them automatically.

Most hotels treat every email inquiry as a one-off. It's not. 80% of the questions are the same 12 questions: parking, pet policy, check-in time, breakfast, gym, late checkout, pool hours, airport shuttle, room type differences, group rates, kid policy, smoking.

Here's the multi-agent workflow we build for hotel clients:

  1. Classification agent reads incoming email/web inquiries and tags them by question type
  2. Routing agent sends FAQ-type questions to a draft agent and complex/booking-related questions to a human
  3. Draft agent writes a response using your brand voice + property-specific FAQ knowledge base
  4. Approval agent flags drafts that mention pricing, refunds, or complaints for human review
  5. Send agent publishes approved drafts and logs each interaction

The team handles the 20% that actually requires judgment. The agent handles the 80% that doesn't.

Response time drops from 4-8 hours to under 2 minutes. Conversion rate on inquiries goes up because guests aren't waiting for a reply.

The key insight: this isn't a chatbot. There's no live conversation. It's an agent that drafts, a human that reviews, and a system that logs everything.

No guest is ever surprised. Your team isn't bottlenecked. Your guest reviews improve. Your conversion rate goes up.
