Koo doesn't just answer. Koo does.
An AI co-host that takes real action — not just a chatbot. When a guest reports an issue, Koo runs a multi-step workflow end-to-end: places phone calls, unlocks doors, reboots routers, files tickets, messages vendors. Three of the 10 templates that ship with every account:
- 🔑Share WiFi credentials with guest
- 📡Check if router is online
- 🔄Reboot the router automatically
- 🎫If still offline, file an urgent ISP ticket
- 💬Reply to guest with the resolution
- 💬Reply empathetically: "I'm so sorry — getting our team out now"
- 📞Place automated phone call to pest-control vendor (TTS reads the issue)
- 📨SMS + email pest control as backup
- 📱Text the host directly
- 🚨Push escalation
- 💬Reply: "Let me unlock that for you remotely"
- 🔓Send unlock command to the smart lock
- 🗝If lock is offline → share the lockbox/manual key code
- 🚨Push-escalate to host
Every host chore, automated.
From guest messages to thermostat schedules, lock codes to camera alerts — Koo runs your operations end-to-end. You approve, Koo executes.
Guest messaging
Koo drafts every reply using your style and your property facts. Auto-detects WiFi, parking, check-in time questions. You approve with one tap or it sends after a delay if you're sleeping.
Smart locks
Per-booking 4-digit PINs auto-share at check-in and revoke at checkout. Battery alerts. Status sync. No manual code juggling, ever.
Thermostats
Pre-cools (or heats) before guests arrive. Drops to eco mode the moment they leave. Sign in once — Koo handles every booking after that.
WiFi mesh
Manage your mesh routers from the app. Reboot per property, monitor uptime, group devices by location. Koo can reboot when guests complain — without you lifting a finger.
Camera intel
Camera alerts that matter. Vacancy-aware: only pings you when there's real motion at an empty property. AI vision filters out pets, wind, and cleaners.
Guest screening
Koo flags risky bookings (low ratings, no reviews, party-prone profiles) before check-in. Risk badge on every reservation. You see it coming, not after damage.
Schedules & bills
Cleanings, water filters, HVAC tune-ups, mortgage, insurance. One timeline. Koo reminds you days before things are due — and pushes them to your phone.
Living knowledge
Tell Koo something once — "There's a propane tank on the back deck" — and every future AI reply uses it. No more re-typing the same WiFi password to every guest.
Ask Koo anything
"What's the wifi at Dawn Court?" "Show this month's revenue." "Reboot Haven's router." Conversational AI that can read AND act on your operations.
Playbooks NEW
Koo doesn't just answer — Koo does. Multi-step workflows that fire when a guest reports an issue: place phone calls to vendors, unlock doors, reboot routers, file tickets, SMS+email property managers. 10 templates included; fully customizable.
Digital guest guidebook
Branded public URL per stay — WiFi info, lock code, check-in/out times, house rules, parking, your local recs. One tap on any device. Auto-share with the welcome message.
Turnover work orders
A turnover task auto-appears when a checkout is 36h out. Cleaner sees it on their phone, marks complete with photo proof. No more group-text chaos.
iCal & Google Vacation Rentals feeds
Sync bookings to your personal calendar. List your property on Google Travel + Maps via the auto-generated XML feed. Both URLs live forever.
Multi-language replies
Guest writes in Spanish? Koo replies in Spanish. French → French. German → German. Detected per message, mirrored automatically.
Bridges everything
Direct integrations for 35+ brands. For the rest — SmartThings, Hubitat, Home Assistant, IFTTT — paste one token and Koo controls every device on your stack.
Proactive AI loop
Every 5 minutes Koo scans your bookings: stale guest messages, post-arrival lock checks, vacant-property eco mode. Reactive tools wait. Koo notices and acts.
Damage reports via QR
Print a small poster with a property-specific QR code. Guests scan, describe the issue, you get pushed instantly with a photo + category. No more 11pm "the lamp broke" texts.
One-click upsells
Per-stay page guests see in their guidebook: early check-in, late check-out, mid-stay clean, parking pass, pet fee. Stripe-checkout integrated. $40-80 added revenue per booking.
Daily digest emails
8am every morning: messages handled, codes rotated, low batteries, pending approvals. Skips quiet days so it never feels like spam.
Review automation
24h after checkout, Koo sends the guest a polite review request through your channel. Tracked per reservation so it never double-fires.
Direct-booking landing page
Every workspace gets app.koohost.ai/book/<your-slug> — public, branded, mobile-friendly. Every property listed; guests inquire direct. Skip the OTA fees on repeat guests.
Low-stock alerts
Track current quantity of paper towels, soap, coffee pods. When stock drops below your reorder threshold, Koo pushes an alert + queues an Amazon cart action.
Owner statements
Monthly per-property report — bookings, gross, payout, expenses, net. Print-friendly URL the host shares with property owners. Trust accounting without the spreadsheet.
Per-tenant timezone digest
Daily summary fires at 8am your time, not 8am UTC. Hosts in São Paulo, Singapore, San Francisco — same product, right local hour.
Web, iOS, and Android.
Native apps with push notifications. Same data, same theme, same Koo. Sign in once, never sign in again.
Connects to 32+ brands.
Bring your existing channel manager, locks, thermostats, cameras, and routers. We auto-rotate codes after each checkout, sync messages from every channel, and ask the agent to control whatever you've connected.

Three things only Koohost does
Koo answers in your voice
Other tools send template replies. Koo reads your past 1,000 messages, learns how you write, and drafts replies indistinguishable from yours — including handling thermostat questions, lock codes, and check-in time pushes inline.
One pane for messages + locks + thermostats + cameras
Every other PMS treats smart-home as "use Zapier." We integrate 10 lock brands, 7 thermostat brands, and 7 camera brands directly. Koo creates the lock code, sends it, sets the thermostat, and watches motion — all from one app.
Flat price. Forever.
$15/mo for Solo Host (you list directly on Airbnb). $30/mo for Pro Host (you have a channel manager). The math doesn't change when you grow. On Solo Host, save $135/mo vs Hospitable; on Pro Host, save $220/mo vs Hostfully at 5 properties.
