What goes wrong, and what we do about it
A vacation rental is a hotel with no front desk and the rooms scattered across town. Guests check out in the morning, the next ones arrive that afternoon, and in between a cleaner has to get in, find what broke and tell you about it. In high season this happens at every property on the same day. Meanwhile guests message at midnight about the Wi-Fi, and an owner wants to know why their own week was not blocked.
The problem
A same-day turnover is missed because the cleaner never got the new check-out time.
In Kompot.ai
Each turnover is a job with the property address, the cleaner and the window between check-out and check-in. It sits on the shared calendar, the cleaner opens it on a phone, and a workflow messages them when the window changes.
The problem
The cleaner finds a broken blind and a stained rug, and you hear about it from the next guest.
In Kompot.ai
The cleaner adds photos and a note to the turnover job. You define a stage such as needs repair: moving the job there starts a workflow that notifies you, and the repair becomes its own job with the same photos.
The problem
Guests ask the same questions about parking, the hot tub and the Wi-Fi at all hours.
In Kompot.ai
House instructions for each property live in a knowledge-base category you can make public. Saved replies cover the common questions, and every guest message — WhatsApp, SMS, email or site chat — sits in one log on the guest.
The problem
A homeowner calls to ask what was fixed at their cabin and what it cost.
In Kompot.ai
A project per property groups its repair jobs and the invoices you send the owner. Vendor receipts are logged as expenses by photographing them, and the project can be shared by link so the owner follows the work and comments.
The problem
Last summer's guests would book direct again, but nobody writes to them before the season.
In Kompot.ai
Each guest is a contact with the property and the dates of their stay in custom fields. Before the season an email campaign goes to the segment who stayed last year, and their replies land in the conversation log.
How one order runs
From a booking to a clean house for the next guest
The booking is recorded
You enter the booking, or a direct inquiry arrives by chat or message and becomes a contact. Stay dates, party size and the property go into fields, and the rental agreement goes out for e-signature.
Deposit and arrival
The deposit goes out as its own invoice with a payment link, and the balance as a second invoice. Before arrival a workflow sends the check-in message with directions and house rules.
During the stay
Questions and problems land in the guest's conversation log. A dead water heater becomes a job for your handyman with a time window agreed with the guest.
Check-out and turnover
The turnover job gives the cleaner the address, the window and the checklist file. Photos come back on the job, and the house is marked ready before the next arrival.
What you keep on record
- Properties and house notes
- Address, Wi-Fi name, trash day and the quirks of each home in knowledge-base articles; the door code in a field on the owner, for your staff.
- Guests and stays
- Each guest with stay dates, property, party size and every message they sent before, during and after.
- Turnovers and repairs
- A job per clean or repair with the cleaner, time window, checklist, photos and stage, on the board and the calendar.

- Each owner with their properties, the management agreement and the dates they keep for their own stays.
Digital employees · Full Service plan
Where an AI employee steps in for Vacation Rental Managers
The moment
A guest messages at midnight: the door code does not work.
The AI employee looks up the guest's record to confirm the stay and the house, but it never sends codes or says where a key is kept. It hands the conversation to your on-call person at once and creates a task with the property and the guest's number.
The moment
Someone asks in the website chat whether the lake house is free in late August and takes dogs.
The AI employee answers the pet question from the knowledge base, takes the dates, the party size and contact details, creates the contact and an opportunity, and says a manager will confirm availability.
The moment
A homeowner calls on Sunday asking whether the house is ready for their own stay.
The voice agent answers, takes the owner's name and the property, and transfers the call to the manager on duty if the owner arrives that day. Otherwise the summary is saved and a workflow creates a task to confirm the clean.
Questions owners ask
- Does Kompot.ai sync bookings and calendars with rental platforms?
- No. It is not a channel manager and does not set nightly rates. The calendar syncs with Google Calendar, and a workflow can start from a webhook if your booking system sends one. Kompot.ai covers guests, turnovers, owners, documents and messages.
- How do cleaners work with it during a turnover?
- Cleaners open their jobs in a phone's browser: address, time window, checklist, notes. They add photos and move the job to done. Roles and permissions limit what they can open.
- Can I take a deposit and the balance online for a direct booking?
- Yes. The deposit is its own invoice with a payment link, which the guest pays by card through Stripe or PayPal, and the balance is a second invoice you send later. An invoice not paid on time is flagged as overdue.
- How do guests get their check-in instructions?
- Write them once per property as a saved reply or a message template. A scheduled or manual workflow sends the message before arrival. On the Full Service plan the AI employee answers follow-up questions about parking or house rules from the knowledge base and passes any request for a door code to your staff.
