Quick Start

The screenshot displays the HostBuddy Knowledge Base interface, focusing on the Property Profile Setup feature. It shows the status of PMS Integration, Property Documents, and Property Profile. Under PMS Integration, there are indicators for PMS property details, property availability and pricing, guest and reservation data, and past conversations from the last six months, all marked as connected. The Property Documents section lists a document titled 'Unit 10 1811 Adams Ave-Welcome Doc-docx.pdf'. The Property Profile section indicates that data has been entered. At the bottom right, there is a 'Manage' link for further actions.

Providing Property Information

The screenshot displays the 'Check-In & Check-Out' section of the HostBuddy AI platform, focusing on building standard operating procedures for property profile setup. It includes four editable text areas, each with a pencil icon for editing. The sections are titled 'How to handle missing backup keys,' 'How to handle parking-related issues,' 'How to handle early check-in requests,' and 'How to handle late check-out requests.' Each section provides example text for handling specific guest-related scenarios, such as contacting a phone number for missing keys, directing guests to alternative parking, informing guests about early check-in policies, and managing late check-out requests with associated fees. The interface is designed to guide hosts in setting up automated responses for common guest inquiries.

Below, there is a note stating that all fields are optional but providing more details enhances service. The 'Topics to Avoid' section includes a specific topic, 'Refund requests,' with an editable text box explaining that it refers to guests asking for refunds on previous payments related to their stay.
