Try Carly →What Carly can do with Hostaway
Create turnover and cleaning tasks
When a checkout lands, text Carly to create a cleaning or turnover task in Hostaway for that unit with the deadline before the next arrival — so nothing slips between guests.
Check guest messages on a reservation
Ask Carly to pull the latest guest messages on a booking and she sends the thread from Hostaway, so you can see what a guest needs without opening the unified inbox.
Look up reservations and finance figures
Text Carly a guest name or property and she returns the reservation dates, channel, and finance details from Hostaway — payout, fees, and balance — without you filtering the dashboard.
Pull the week's check-ins and check-outs
Ask Carly for upcoming arrivals and departures and she pulls them from the Hostaway calendar so you can staff turnovers and coordinate cleaners ahead of time.
Why vacation rental managers run Hostaway on the move
Hostaway is the property management and channel manager that keeps short-term rental operations running — listings, reservations, calendars, guest messaging, finance, and tasks synced across every booking channel. But managing a portfolio is a field job, not a desk job. Cleaners text about a turnover, a guest asks a question mid-stay, a same-day checkout needs coordinating — all while you're driving between properties, not sitting in front of the dashboard.
An AI tool for Hostaway should let you run operations from your phone. Instead of logging in to check a reservation, spin up a cleaning task, or see what a guest needs, you should be able to send a text or email and have the answer or the action handled before you reach the next door.
How Carly works as your AI Hostaway assistant
Carly connects to your Hostaway account through the API. Once connected, you manage reservations, tasks, guest messaging, and calendars over email or text — like having an operations coordinator who keeps every property moving without you at a screen.
Got a checkout this morning? Text Carly to create a cleaning task for that unit with the turnover deadline before the next guest arrives. Need to know what a guest asked? Ask Carly to pull the latest messages on a reservation and she sends the thread. Coordinating your week? Ask for upcoming check-ins and check-outs and she pulls them from the Hostaway calendar so you can staff the turnovers.
Because Carly works from outside Hostaway, she can cross-reference your reservation and task data with your calendar and email — flagging a tight back-to-back turnover, or lining up a cleaner's confirmation alongside the Hostaway task.
Who uses Carly with Hostaway
Short-term rental property managers juggling turnovers, cleaners, and guest messages across a portfolio who can't stop to open the dashboard for every question. Operations leads who assign cleaning and maintenance tasks and need to spin them up the moment a checkout lands. Owners and co-hosts who want reservation lookups and finance figures without digging through screens. If Hostaway runs your rentals, Carly keeps the operation moving from wherever you are.

"Before Carly, I relied on a Calendly link, but the whole process felt impersonal and not very professional. Carly changed that by handling all the back-and-forth, so I'm no longer stuck in endless email threads trying to line up schedules.
Now Carly reaches out to candidates, shares my real-time availability, lets them pick a slot, then sends a Zoom link and drops it straight into my calendar. She sends reminders to both of us before each call, which has significantly reduced no-shows and last-minute confusion.
On top of scheduling, Carly acts like a full executive assistant, sending me my schedule the night before so I can prepare for each call. It reminds me of the old x.ai assistant, but Carly is noticeably smarter, faster, and better suited to my healthcare recruitment business."
