## How It Works

1. **Guest sends a message** (via Airbnb, Booking.com, etc.)
2. **GuestHive AI analyzes** the question using property knowledge + swarm intelligence
3. **Instant response** if confident (WiFi, directions, amenities)
4. **Escalates to host** if uncertain, with suggested answer
5. **Learns and improves** from every interaction

## The Problem We Solve

Vacation rental hosts typically spend 2-4 hours daily on guest communication. Most questions are repetitive:
- "What's the WiFi password?"
- "Where can I park?"
- "How does the coffee machine work?"
- "What time is check-out?"

GuestHive eliminates this burden while maintaining — or improving — guest satisfaction through instant responses.

## Target Audience

- **Solo Airbnb hosts** wanting to reclaim their time
