Let guests ask ChatGPT/Claude about our villa, with quotes pulled from our OwnerRez booking page
Hi all, I'm Chris. My wife Tamara and I run a few family villas, including Villa Coral in Dorado, PR. We book through OwnerRez, and I wanted to see whether guests could just ask ChatGPT or Claude about our villa and get real answers instead of guesses.
So I built a small connector for ChatGPT and Claude. It's separate from the OwnerRez API, but it reads our live OwnerRez booking page. It checks availability, suggests open dates, and quotes the full total with fees, straight from what OwnerRez shows. In one test, Claude quoted $4,883.48 for 8 guests, and it matched our booking page exactly. It stops before payment, so the guest still books through our OwnerRez checkout.
A few things I learned, in case anyone's trying something similar:
- Quote accuracy was the hardest part. The safest way was to have the AI pull the total from the booking page itself, not calculate it.
- Guests ask things like "what's open the week after Easter," so suggesting open dates mattered more than I expected.
- Keeping payment out of the AI made us a lot more comfortable.
I put it on Product Hunt today if anyone wants to see how it works: www.producthunt.com/products/ctc-stays
Has anyone else here tried AI booking tools alongside OwnerRez? I'd love to compare notes.
