Do hotels use AI to answer guest calls, and does it work?

Some do, with mixed results. AI handles routine questions like check-in times, directions and availability well, but guests get frustrated when it can't manage a simple request or reach a person. FirstVoice flags after-hours lockouts and safety issues to your duty manager and passes anything unusual to your team.
