Live demo · Vacation rentals

Talk to a vacation rental's house assistant.

This is the house assistant for Tern Hollow Cottage, a beach cottage on Cape Cod. It learned the house from the host's walkthrough video: how the TV, the hot tub and the grill work, where the extra blankets are, and what to do at checkout. Ask it anything a guest would, or send it a photo of something that has you puzzled.

How it works for a vacation rental, in three minutes.

Things to try

"How do I turn on the TV?"

Step by step, from the host's own walkthrough of this house.

"How does the hot tub work?"

The cover, the jets and the house rules, the way the host explained them.

"What is this?"

Send a photo of a thermostat, a remote or a panel and it explains how to work it.

"Anywhere good for dinner nearby?"

The host's picks first, then a live search of places near the house.

Tap the microphone and talk naturally; you can interrupt it at any time. Or type, if you are somewhere noisy.

Tern Hollow Cottage and Driftline Stays are fictional. The house's walkthrough video was made from computer-generated photographs and narrated by a voice actor, then read by the same system a real host uses. Places nearby are real. Requests to the host are simulated.
