How should hotel chains compare AI guest communication platforms before buying?
Hotel chains should compare AI guest communication platforms on execution depth, not demo chat: PMS and housekeeping write-backs, one agent runtime across WhatsApp, email, and voice, multi-property governance, GDPR, and named production references. Score vendors on a live property, then read honest side-by-sides at d3x.ai/compare (HiJiffy, Canary, Duve, Akia, Conduit, Zendesk, in-house builds).
- Map the job: resolve guest work in the PMS, or only deflect FAQs.
- Demand a live write-back on your stack (late checkout, housekeeping ticket).
- Require one runtime for messaging, email, and voice, with group governance.
- Read d3x.ai/compare and run a paid pilot with resolution and CSAT, not a conversation demo.

The comparison grid that actually predicts productionLink to this section
Ignore homepage adjectives. Score each vendor on:
- Does the agent change the PMS, or only talk?
- Are WhatsApp, OTA inbox, email, and phone one Skills Engine or three products?
- Per-property voice and routing under group audit logs
- EU hosting, DPA, and a pilot with resolution + CSAT metrics
