The Future Is Now: How Affixify Partners Are Redefining Hospitality with AI

At Affixify, we believe the most exciting advancements in hospitality today are being driven by partners who are innovating with AI. From voice-driven concierge services to hospitality-specific AI models, these innovators aren’t just reacting to change—they’re getting ahead of it.

Cloudbeds: Redefining Revenue Intelligence with Hospitality’s First AI Foundation Model

Cloudbeds Labs, the innovation hub from Cloudbeds, is at the forefront of hospitality technology R&D. Launched to incubate forward-thinking solutions and emerging technologies, Cloudbeds Labs aims to empower hoteliers with tools that enhance operations, improve the guest journey, and drive revenue growth. From AI integrations to cutting-edge automation, the lab serves as a testbed for piloting new ideas in partnership with hoteliers. It’s a bold move by Cloudbeds to not only stay ahead of industry trends but to help shape them.

Cloudbeds’ Revenue Intelligence is powered by Signals, the industry’s first AI foundational model. Unlike traditional RMS tools that only detect patterns, Cloudbeds Revenue Intelligence uses causal machine learning to uncover why guests book, not just when. This allows hoteliers to forecast demand with over 95% accuracy up to 180 days in advance, outperform competitors by 15% through precise, AI-driven recommendations, and launch automated campaigns that convert past guests into repeat bookings. It also provides real-time, portfolio-wide performance monitoring for better decision-making at scale.

As Josh Graham, Head of Market Development | NORAM at Cloudbeds, puts it:

“Generic AI models don’t speak hotel. Less than 0.004% of foundational AI training data comes from hospitality so if you ask a general-purpose model about ‘improving pickup,’ it might tell you how to install a turbocharger on your car! Signals is the industry’s first vertical AI model trained on billions of hospitality-specific data points per hour to drive operational actions. At Cloudbeds we believe that the AI revolution in hospitality won't be televised from the outside; it will be coded from within.”

With innovations like hospitality’s first AI foundation model and Revenue Intelligence, Cloudbeds is not just optimizing the industry — it’s reimagining it.

Orana Stay: Elevating Guest Experience Through Voice AI

Orana Stay is reshaping the guest experience with a cutting-edge voice AI assistant tailored for the hospitality industry. Designed to be conversational and fully brandable to each hotel, Orana Stay enables guests to easily access hotel information, discover nearby attractions, check real-time weather updates, and even modify their reservations — all through intuitive voice interactions. By offering a seamless, hands-free interface, Orana Stay enhances guest satisfaction while reducing front-desk dependency. It's a smart, scalable solution for modern hotels looking to deliver personalized service at scale.

The advantage of a voice AI assistant over a chatbot is the ability to interact on a personal level by tailoring answers for a guest in their own language, removing the sometimes frustrating interaction with a digital solution. Offering an AI assistant allows your hotel to be available to your guests 24/7.

Co-Founder Karen Graham summarizes the vision by saying:

“Guests crave information while staying at a hotel and also when on the go. Our AI Concierge makes it so easy for them while also highlighting revenue opportunities for hotels.”

STS Cloud: Transform Proposals in 60 Seconds with AI-Powered Precision

SalesAndCatering.com’s STS Cloud just unveiled an AI-powered boost to its popular proposal tool with the launch of ProposalPath Assistant—an AI personal proposal builder designed to support hotel sales professionals. In just 60 seconds, it can transform virtually anything into a fully branded, interactive proposal that highlights a property’s unique story, helping teams sell the experience and win the business. No training required, no integration headaches—just results. With ProposalPath Assistant, hotels can increase sales by 65%, close business 33% faster, reduce manual admin by 50%, respond 80% faster, and achieve full ROI within months.

As Mike Pavicich, Vice President of Global Sales at STS Cloud, explains, “We built ProposalPath Assistant by adding AI where it makes a real difference—taking the repetitive, time-consuming tasks off the plates of hotel sales teams. It’s not about replacing people; it’s about giving them the tools to respond faster, work smarter, and spend more time where it counts: human to human selling.”

GauVendi: Matching Guests to Their Perfect Stay with Conversational AI

GauVendi is transforming the hotel discovery and trip planning process through the power of conversational AI. Built on proprietary Machine Learning and Open Source LLM Models, GauVendi created a ChatGPT "Pick Your Match,” which acts as a virtual travel planner, helping users articulate their travel preferences and then matching them with curated hotel recommendations that align with their needs. More than just a search tool, GauVendi tailors travel itineraries and actively promotes its hotel customers within those plans, giving them visibility in a highly personalized, high-intent context. It’s a game-changer for both travelers seeking efficiency and hospitality brands seeking qualified exposure.

As Markus Mueller, Managing Director at GauVendi, explains:

"GauVendi’s Dynamic Matching and Pick Your Match MCP server empower AI agents to seamlessly browse any hotel’s unique infrastructure via GauVendi’s Partner Hub API and generate personalized booking links. Guests can simply ask for a quiet lower-floor unit overlooking the park for themselves and their dog, and the LLM-powered engine delivers tailored options with real-time unit-level availability and pricing, not just room categories.”

Traversing.ai: Bringing Smart Infrastructure to Hotel Operations

Traversing.ai offers a purpose-built AI platform designed to meet the modern needs of hospitality operators, helping them reclaim control over guest relationships, margins, and operations. Founded by hospitality veterans, the company combines deep industry insight with advanced technology to deliver a fully integrated platform.

At the heart of the platform is the AI Contact Center, which uses voice, chat, SMS, and email to power 24/7 guest communication. It can handle everything from reservations and PCI-compliant payments to real-time upselling, executed with the fluency and accuracy of a well-trained agent. Traversing.ai enables properties to provide seamless guest service while significantly reducing call volume and labor costs.

The Conversational Distribution Engine dynamically packages multi-room and promotional offers based on guest intent, automating complex logic previously handled by revenue managers. Meanwhile, the Direct Booking Solution enhances visibility across Google Hotel Ads and meta channels, and unlocks high-margin pre-arrival upsells through contextual messaging.

Importantly, the platform is built to work with today’s existing hotel systems, not around them, enabling fast implementation with minimal disruption. From independent boutiques to global flags, hotels can activate Traversing.ai's AI layer without expensive replatforming.

Co-Founder Blaire McCoy emphasizes:

“We built Traversing.ai to be the connective tissue between a hotel's tech stack and the guest. Most properties don’t need another tool, they need smarter infrastructure. Our AI Contact Center and distribution tools allow operators to adopt AI quickly and meaningfully, without requiring an army of engineers or months of onboarding.”

Traversing.ai helps hotels increase conversion by up to 3x, lift average order value by up to 127%, and reduce operational costs by up to 50%, all while giving brands full ownership of the guest relationship.
