What is INTO AI and how does it work?

INTO AI is a Chrome extension that works within the Guesty unified inbox to provide AI-powered guest messaging assistance. Users must be logged into Guesty and have the extension installed to use it.

What's the main difference between INTO AI and Cendra?

INTO AI is a browser extension that only works within Guesty's inbox and requires the browser to be open. Cendra is a full platform that works independently, handles messaging 24/7, coordinates operations, and integrates with 50+ PMS systems.

Can INTO AI work with other PMS systems?

No. INTO AI is specifically designed as a Guesty integration and only works within the Guesty unified inbox. Cendra integrates with 50+ PMS platforms including Guesty, Hostaway, Lodgify, and many more.

Does INTO AI work when I'm not at my computer?

INTO AI is a Chrome extension, which typically requires the browser to be open and active. Cendra operates as a standalone platform that handles guest communications 24/7 regardless of whether you're online.

How long does Cendra setup take?

Cendra is live on Day 1. Connect your PMS in minutes, validate your listing info and tell me which issues to handle autonomously, then watch issues auto-resolve. While competitors spend weeks training staff, I sync your messages, policies, and brand tone in hours—not weeks.

I Nostri Fondatori

Costruito da operatori, per operatori

Cendra non è stato costruito nel vuoto. I nostri fondatori hanno vissuto il caos operativo e hanno costruito ciò che avrebbero voluto esistesse.

Can Koseoglu

Co-fondatore e CEO

Ho gestito 60 appartamenti in due città con solo 1 persona di supporto—usando Cendra internamente prima ancora di lanciarlo. Questa non è un'affermazione di marketing; è come abbiamo testato ogni flusso di lavoro.

Mumin Sahin

Co-fondatore e Lead Engineer

Costruisco i sistemi su cui i team dell'hospitality contano 24 ore su 24. Quando gli operatori scalano, la piattaforma deve tenere il passo senza intoppi—affidabilità e prestazioni sono la mia ossessione.

Ali Ozaltin

Co-fondatore e CTO

Progetto le integrazioni e i sistemi di IA che collegano Cendra a ogni PMS e canale. Il mio obiettivo: che gli operatori passino meno tempo sui problemi tecnici e più tempo a far crescere il loro business.

Costruito da operatori e ingegneri che sono passati da 1 proprietà a migliaia di annunci.
