How does it work?
- Guest speaks a natural command such as “Order dinner”, “Request fresh towels”, or “Turn the lights off.”
- The voice system applies speech recognition + AI intent detection to interpret the request.
- The request is processed through a service orchestration engine, which determines the department involved.
- The system routes the request to staff apps, dashboards, or communication channels like HotSOS, Flexkeeping, or internal systems.
- If linked to IoT devices, the system executes room controls directly (AC, lights, curtains, TV).
- The guest receives a confirmation response, and the system logs the event for analytics.
- Managers view insights and statistics to optimize staffing, service speed, and guest satisfaction.
