M3 sensor

With a connected M3 sensor, Minut sends messages to your guests directly, based on real-time activities:

  • Stop noise escalating into a complaint

  • Discourage anti-social behavior if the sensor is tampered with

  • Confirm an early check out so you can turn the room over faster

Built with your workflow in mind

Team control

Our Standard and Pro plans support team access, so any authorized person can see what’s happening and respond to messages.

Integrations

Our integrations help to make bookings and guest communication easier. Minut can automatically schedule messages on your behalf for every booking with an OTA or PMS integration, or generate unique access codes for every stay with an integrated smart lock.

Instant responses

Even the best-run operations receive the same questions over and over again, from check-in details to WiFi passwords.

With AI Autopilot, Minut Messaging takes care of all of this for you with instant, accurate, and human-sounding replies 24/7

Continuous learning

The more AI Autopilot is used, the smarter it gets. It hands over to your team for complex or sensitive subjects, learns from your responses, and suggests knowledge updates to handle more next time.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of questions can AI Autopilot answer?

Autopilot can answer any guest questions that it has the knowledge for. It uses information from your property listing, your Minut sensor, and the contents you choose to upload to the Knowledge base, such as:

  • Amenities and property features, like the WiFi password or a picture of where parking is located
  • Check-in and check-out procedures and house rules
  • Guest guide books with local tips and recommendations

If it doesn’t have the answer, or the question is complex or sensitive, Autopilot will automatically escalate the question to your team.

Does Autopilot learn to improve over time?

Yes! Autopilot gets better the more it's used. With every conversation, it handles questions more smoothly because it notices where information is missing, learns how you have answered in those cases, and suggests improvements to Knowledge accordingly. Over time it can automate more, respond more accurately, and give your guests an even smoother experience.

Do the messages appear in my Airbnb inbox?

Yes, if your Airbnb account is connected to Minut, every message you or Autopilot sends also appears in your Airbnb inbox. If you’re using a PMS integration, messages are sent only via WhatsApp or SMS, and those conversations appear in your Minut inbox only.

Can I still reply to guests myself using the unified inbox?

Absolutely. All Airbnb, WhatsApp, and SMS conversations appear in the inbox, so your team has full visibility and can take over at any time. You can also turn Autopilot on or off whenever you want.
