BnBuddy

BnBuddy is an AI assistant built for people who host short-term rentals on platforms like Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and Expedia, aimed at cutting down the time hosts spend answering the same guest questions over and over. It combines a digital guidebook, shared with guests via QR code or link, covering Wi-Fi codes, check-in steps, house rules, and local recommendations, with an AI assistant trained on that same property information so it can answer guest questions instantly, day or night, in English or Spanish. For direct messages rather than guidebook questions, BnBuddy drafts AI-generated replies that a host reviews and approves through WhatsApp before anything is sent, keeping a human in the loop rather than automating replies outright. The platform also lets hosts spin up their own branded direct-booking website, with live availability synced through iCal from Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, and other channels, so guests can book directly and hosts keep the full booking amount instead of paying platform commission. The first property is free with no credit card required, and a Pro plan at $19 a month unlocks up to six properties along with white-label branding and a custom domain. No founding year or parent company beyond the BnBuddy brand itself is stated on the site.
