Hello! We'd like a private day trip to Lake Bled — could the hotel arrange a reliable driver for two? And the approximate price?

Hi! Our flight lands in the morning — would an early check-in around 11am be possible? Happy to wait in the lobby if not.

Hi Camille! 😊 An early check-in around 11am works for your arrival on Aug 14 — we'll have the Balcony Suite ready. If your flight shifts, just let us know and we'll keep it flexible. Safe travels!

Hi Henrik 😊 Absolutely — leave your luggage with us after checkout on the 15th. Reception will keep it safe until your evening train. See you Friday! 💙
Batono read the whole thread + your hotel profile — then drafted.
✓ knows your rooms & rates ✓ your tone of voice ✓ guest's language

It's not a bot that replies for you. It's a teammate that drafts with you.

👤You keep — the human layer

Judgment, the decision, intonation, the exception, the nuance a model would never invent.

Batono takes — the assistant layer

The language, the form, your on-brand tone, the hotel's knowledge, the guest's language — and the speed.

How it works

The real loop — no magic, just a hotkey.

Guest message → Alt+A → Batono asks only when it should → draft in your input → you send → rate it.

Alt+A

Batono reads the thread + your hotel profile.

Asks only if needed

✎ Add context — a nuance 🛡 Guardrail — confirm money/policy 🌐 Language — when unclear

Most replies need none of these.

Draft in your input → you send

Of course! The balcony room for 2–7 July is USD 835 total… You: 👍 / 👎

Read, tweak, send. The human sends — always.

Trust by design

When it shouldn't answer, it asks.

A wrong reply is worse than a slow one. For a refund, a policy exception, anything money-sensitive, Batono pauses and asks before drafting — no guessing, no unauthorized promises.

Cancellations Refunds Price exceptions Unclear policy
✦ BatonoTalk — Authorization needed
This looks like a cancellation / refund decision outside your standard policy. Add your instruction or confirm before a reply is drafted.
e.g. Approve as a one-time exception, or apply the standard policy…
Enter — generate · Esc — cancel
When a guest needs a personal touch

Drop a hint. Batono writes the finished reply.

✦ BatonoTalk — Add context
Returning guest. Be especially warm. Recommend a quiet restaurant nearby and mention late check-in is absolutely fine.
Enter — generate · Esc — cancel

A nuance you'd never give a bot — folded into one human reply.

Reply language couldn't be detected — pick one

Normally Batono replies in the guest's language automatically. This picker only appears on a first message when the language is genuinely ambiguous.

Set up once

This is why the drafts are accurate.

Tell Batono about your place in the dashboard — rooms, services, policies, the area, your voice. A readiness bar shows what's left. After that, he drafts everyday replies on his own.

BatonoTalk dashboard — the Hotel Info form: parking, pets, getting around, each saved for Batono
Why replies stay sharp

Not one giant prompt — Batono pulls only the context this reply needs.

"Is the pool heated until midnight?"
🏨 Hotel facilities 🕒 Opening hours — skips destination, policies, edge cases
"The pool is heated and open until 11pm — so not quite midnight, but warm all evening. Want a spot for a late drink after? 🌙"

A bigger knowledge base, without forcing every reply through one overloaded prompt.

Two ways to put AI on guest messages

AI that helps you reply — not one that replies for you.

A fully-autonomous bot
Batono
Worth it when…
you have high volume to justify the build
from day one — nothing to build
To really help (extend a stay)
needs deep integration that can write changes
you make the change; Batono writes the reply
Personality
faceless, generic, "safe"
sounds like you — your tone, your standards
The dead-end
"I can’t help — contact the team"
no dead-end; a human is already replying
Build & upkeep
development, testing, monitoring
just press a key
Who the guest talks to
a machine
you
Simple to adopt

Nothing to migrate. It feels like nothing new — just a hotkey.

Frequently asked questions

What is BatonoTalk?+

An AI assistant that drafts replies to your guests directly inside the chat channels you already use (Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, WhatsApp, Telegram). You keep reading the guest and send the final message; Batono handles the language, tone and speed.

Is this an autonomous chatbot that answers guests for me?+

No — and that’s the point. Batono never sends anything on his own. He drafts; you review and send. The guest always talks to you.

How is it better than an autonomous hotel bot?+

Autonomous bots are polite but hit a wall — they tell guests "I can’t help with that, contact the team," and guests realize they’re talking to a machine. With Batono every reply is human-sent, so the guest feels looked after — and you get the speed and consistency anyway.

Do I need to integrate it with my PMS or booking system?+

No. Batono works on the conversation in the channel, so he helps with anyone who writes you — even before they book.

Which channels does it support?+

Booking.com, Airbnb, Expedia, WhatsApp and Telegram today — and the list keeps growing, with new channels added regularly.

What languages can it reply in?+

It replies in the guest’s language automatically, no matter what language you write your hint in. If the language can’t be detected, a quick picker appears.

Will it make things up or commit me to refunds or discounts?+

No. Guardrails block hallucinations and any financial or critical decision you haven’t explicitly authorized — for those, Batono pauses and asks before drafting.

How much does it cost?+

It’s guaranteed free until September 2026, with no limits and no card. After that we’ll introduce simple pricing, announced well in advance.

How do I get started?+

Three steps: add the extension to Chrome; open it and create your account when prompted; press Alt+A in any chat and your draft appears in the reply field. Set up your hotel’s details and tone once, and you’re ready.
