Step 3: Set the AI Agent Name

Assign a personalized name to your AI assistant. This appears in responses to questions like "Who am I chatting with?" fostering a branded, consistent experience in your channel manager communications.

Step 4: Customize the AI Tone

Input a prompt to define the response style, such as "friendly and helpful" or "professional with a touch of humor." You can add specifics like providing a custom website link for inquiries or ending messages with a light joke. Remember, WiseAI has built-in prompting, so focus solely on tone and style to avoid impacting functionality.

Step 5: Enable Auto-Close for Conversations

Turn this on to let WiseAI close chats with positive endings (e.g., "Thanks for the info!"). This keeps your inbox clutter-free and streamlines operations in your property management software.

Step 6: Add Emergency Contact Details

Provide details like name and phone number for urgent scenarios, such as fires or floods. WiseAI shares this only when necessary, ensuring guest safety without overstepping.

Step 7: Create an AI Responses Signature

Add a footer to all messages, clearly stating it's an AI assistant. This promotes transparency and sets expectations in guest interactions.

Step 8: Allow Responses from Property Images

Enable this to let WiseAI analyze your listing images and property information for accurate answers on amenities or features, enhancing the reliability of automated responses.

Step 9: Define Ignored Topics

List topics the AI should defer, like pet policies. In these cases, WiseAI notifies you for manual intervention, balancing automation with control.

These customizations make WiseAI a versatile addition to any channel manager, ensuring it aligns perfectly with your vacation rental strategy.
