# ZayaBot

> ZayaBot is an AI-powered guest engagement chatbot built exclusively for the hospitality industry. It helps hotels, resorts, and boutique properties automate guest conversations, increase direct bookings, and reduce front-desk workload — across WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook Messenger, and website chat — 24/7.

ZayaBot is not a generic chatbot. It is trained on your hotel's specific knowledge base, FAQs, and standard operating procedures to deliver accurate, brand-consistent responses that feel human. Guests interact through the channels they already use, and ZayaBot handles everything from room inquiries and availability checks to complaints and upsell opportunities — without staff intervention.

Hotels using ZayaBot report a 98% average message open rate across messaging channels, compared to under 20% for email. The platform operates across 4 channels simultaneously and is available 24/7, covering every time zone and language gap without hiring additional staff.

## What ZayaBot Does

- **Instantly answers guest inquiries** across all connected channels in real time
- **Uses your hotel's complete knowledge base** — FAQs, room descriptions, amenities, SOPs, and policies — to give accurate, context-aware answers
- **Routes requests to the correct department** with intelligent priority (e.g., housekeeping, F&B, concierge, reservations)
- **Handles guest complaints intelligently**, escalating when needed while maintaining a calm, brand-appropriate tone
- **Supports 50+ languages** — auto-detects the guest's language and responds fluently, removing every language barrier
- **Identifies and promotes revenue opportunities** — upsells room upgrades, dining reservations, spa bookings, and local experiences
- **Maintains your hotel's unique voice and tone** across every conversation on every platform (Brand Sync)

## Supported Channels

ZayaBot connects your hotel to guests on every major messaging platform:

- **Website Chat** — embeddable widget for your hotel website; copy-paste snippet works with WordPress, Wix, Shopify, and custom-built sites
- **WhatsApp** — the world's most-used messaging app, with end-to-end encrypted conversations
- **Instagram Direct** — engages guests who discover your property through social media
- **Facebook Messenger** — reaches guests who prefer Facebook for communication

All four channels are managed from a single AI brain and a unified dashboard.

## How ZayaBot Works

1. **Knowledge Base ingestion** — ZayaBot learns from your hotel's data, FAQs, room types, amenities, pricing, and SOPs to deliver human-like accuracy
2. **Department Routing** — guest requests are automatically triaged and routed to the correct team (housekeeping, F&B, concierge, reservations) with intelligent priority
3. **Brand Sync** — every reply mirrors your hotel's unique voice and personality, so guests feel they are speaking with your brand, not a bot
4. **Channel Connect** — the same AI operates across Website, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger simultaneously, with no duplication of effort

## Setup and Integrations

- **Setup takes under 15 minutes** — a simple copy-paste snippet deploys ZayaBot on any hotel website
- **Booking Engine integration** — ZayaBot connects directly with booking engines to provide real-time room availability and pricing to guests mid-conversation
- **GDPR and PCI compliant** — all guest conversations are end-to-end encrypted; payment and personal data handling meets full compliance requirements

### Named integrations available today

These are the integrations that exist, by name. Anything not listed here is not

## Frequently Asked Questions

The first seven are the questions shown on https://www.zayabot.com/faq, matching
that page word for word so an assistant quoting this file and a guest reading the
site get the same answer.

The two after them are deliberately not on the page. This file has no
"must be visible" requirement — unlike FAQPage structured data, which Google
requires to mirror on-page content — so it is the right place for questions that
are worth answering for an assistant but do not earn a slot in the UI.

**How long does it take to set up?**
You can be up and running in less than 15 minutes. Our simple copy-paste snippet works with WordPress, Wix, Shopify, and custom-built hotel websites.

**Does it integrate with my Booking Engine?**
Yes. The live booking engine integration today is BookOnlineNow: ZayaBot checks availability, rates and meal plans inside the conversation and hands the guest to BookOnlineNow to complete the reservation. Other booking engines are connected on request — see https://www.zayabot.com/partners

**Which integrations exist right now?**
Two, both live: BookOnlineNow (booking engine) and Meta, which covers Messenger, Instagram and WhatsApp through a single connection. Any other platform named as a ZayaBot integration is not one yet.

**I run a hotel platform. How do I get it integrated?**
Submit the integration request form at https://www.zayabot.com/partners — it asks for your platform, your company, a work email, the platform type (booking engine, property management system, channel manager, payments, messaging or other) and what you want ZayaBot to be able to do. The team reviews the API and authentication, then defines the scope and next steps.

**Can it handle multiple languages?**
Absolutely. The AI automatically detects the guest's language and communicates fluently in over 50 languages, removing language barriers and ensuring smooth guest communication.

**Is guest data secure?**
Security is our priority. All conversations are end-to-end encrypted, and we are fully GDPR and PCI compliant to ensure guest privacy and payment safety.

**Does it replace staff?**
No. ZayaBot is designed to support your team, not replace it. It handles repetitive guest inquiries and routine requests so your staff can focus on delivering higher-value, personalized hospitality experiences.

**Does it improve guest satisfaction?**
Yes. By providing instant, accurate, and personalized responses 24/7, ZayaBot helps hotels reduce wait times, resolve requests faster, and deliver a smoother overall guest experience.

**Can it increase revenue?**
Yes. By responding instantly, capturing more guest inquiries, and supporting upselling opportunities during conversations, ZayaBot helps hotels convert more requests into bookings and additional revenue.

**What makes ZayaBot different from a generic chatbot?**
ZayaBot is trained specifically on hospitality workflows and on your hotel's own data. It understands room categories, check-in and check-out, F&B service hours, and concierge requests out of the box — no custom AI development required.

**Which channels does ZayaBot cover?**
Website chat, WhatsApp, Instagram Direct, and Facebook Messenger — all four running from a single AI brain and managed from one unified dashboard.
