Built from the inbox

We built Convo.run after managing more than 1,000 motel inquiries every day.

The product grew out of running a real human agent team for a motel chain in the Philippines, where response quality, staffing pressure, and missed booking opportunities were daily operating problems.

The operation behind the product

A problem we lived ourselves

We started with people, then built the software the operation needed.

Our team handled customer questions across a chain of motels: room availability, rates, amenities, policies, directions, and the follow-up needed to turn interest into a booking.

At more than 1,000 inquiries a day, adding another agent for every increase in volume was not a durable answer. The tools we tried could not attach an inquiry to the correct property, preserve staff ownership, or pause automation when a front-desk decision was required.

That experience became the product brief for Convo.run. AI handles published questions by location, while staff retain ownership of exceptions and booking decisions.

What the operation demanded

Not another chatbot. A better way to run the team.

Handle repeat questions without another queue

AI can answer published questions about hours, amenities, policies, and directions.

Use property information instead of staff memory

Replies draw from the property's published policies and service details.

Collect booking context before assignment

Ask for dates, property, and contact details before handing the inquiry to staff.

Built into Convo.run

03

Controlled automation

Start with team replies, introduce AI drafts, and automate only where the workflow is ready.

Human judgment

Keep exceptions, sensitive questions, and important decisions with the right person.
