01/The Problem

Hospitality at scale
shouldn’t mean answering
at midnight.

The opportunity isn’t a longer welcome book. It’s letting the property answer guests itself, in any language, while you sleep.

PAIN.01Observed

Your phone never stops buzzing.

Wi-Fi password. Hot tub instructions. Trash day. Where the extra towels live. The same fifteen messages every booking, on Airbnb, Vrbo, WhatsApp, and SMS at the same time. You answer them at dinner, at the airport, and at 11 PM in bed.

Host inbox· · ·
PAIN.02Observed

Guests speak languages your welcome book does not.

A French family books your Italian villa. A Korean couple books your Whistler chalet. Your house guide is in English. They ask questions in theirs. Translation apps half-work, frustration grows, and the review hints at "communication issues" three weeks later.

PAIN.03Observed

Cleaners and co-hosts answer differently every time.

Check-out time, parking spots, what to do with linens — every guest gets a slightly different version depending on who replied. Standards drift. Five-star reviews get harder to keep as you scale to a fourth, fifth, tenth listing.

02/How it works

From a Google Doc welcome book
to a printable QR per property
in a single afternoon.

No code. No app for guests to install. No new platform on top of Airbnb, Vrbo, or your PMS. Just four steps from your existing house guide to a property that answers itself.

Source · Per listing
01

Upload your house guide once.

Welcome book, check-in instructions, Wi-Fi, hot tub manual, appliance tips, local restaurant list, emergency contacts. Anything you would write back to a guest. Askbud reads it and trains an assistant per property.

Step 01 of 04
Surface · In the rental
02

Place QR codes where guests already look.

Door tag, fridge magnet, welcome book cover, kitchen counter, smart-TV info card. A guest scans and asks. The QR is editable, so you can swap a Wi-Fi network or a check-out time without reprinting a thing.

Step 02 of 04
Answer · Multilingual
03

Guests ask in their own language, anytime.

The assistant answers from your house guide, cites its source, and only answers what it knows. When it cannot, it tells the guest you will follow up. Works across English, French, German, Italian, Spanish, Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, and more.

Step 03 of 04
Loop · Closed
04

You stop fielding the obvious questions.

Every question, every property, every language — patterns surface. Missing instructions, recurring confusion, amenities guests keep asking about. You fix the guide once and the assistant re-learns. Your inbox quiets down.

04/Built for these scenarios

Wherever your guests stay,
your home can answer them.

From a single chalet to a portfolio of villas, the same engine works on any door, fridge, or welcome book where guests show up with questions.

CASE.01Posted

Mountain chalets & ski cabins

Late check-ins after a long drive, hot tubs that need an explanation, ski storage, fireplace instructions, and the local cat-track shortcut. International guests every single weekend in season. The QR by the door handles the whole arrival without a single message.

CASE.02Posted

Beach villas & coastal homes

Pool rules, beach access codes, AC settings, where the snorkels live, and which restaurant takes walk-ins on Sundays. Multilingual guests, families with kids, and a host who would like to not get a Wi-Fi message during dinner.

CASE.03Posted

Multi-property hosts & STR managers

Five, fifty, or five hundred listings under one roof. Each property has its own quirks. A QR code per property, all answering from your central library of house guides. One dashboard tells you what guests asked at every door this week.

CASE.04Posted

Country estates & boutique stays

Heritage homes with finicky boilers, gardens with their own rules, and stories guests genuinely want to hear. The assistant carries the character of the place across in any language, without you re-typing it for every booking.

05/Better than the usual options

Every host has a welcome book.
Every host still gets the
Wi-Fi text at midnight.

The tools you already use solve the booking, the lock, and the cleaner schedule. None of them answer the guest standing in the kitchen.

Approach
What it gives you
Printed welcome books
Half a binder of laminated pages, single language, never up to date
Airbnb / Vrbo messaging
Pings your phone all day, every guest expects a 5-minute reply
Smart locks & WhatsApp combos
Solve the lock, not the 14 questions that come after it
Co-host & cleaner answers
Inconsistent, depend on who is on shift, hard to audit
Generic website chatbots
Answer from the open internet, never read your house guide
Askbud
Live answers in any language, from your own house guide, plus a dashboard of every question your guests asked across every property.
06/Field questions

What hosts
ask first.

  • Most hosts go from kickoff to a working assistant in a single afternoon. Upload your existing welcome book — even if it is a Google Doc, a PDF, or a Notion page — and the assistant trains itself. Add a QR code to a door tag and you are live.

Built for the next check-in,
and every guest after.

Whether you host one chalet or run a portfolio of villas, the questions hitting your phone right now are the questions a property should be answering for itself. We can walk you through it in 15 minutes, dashboard included.
