Calypso. The guest writes at 11.40pm — the reply arrives in four seconds.
The hotel's digital concierge: it replies on WhatsApp in the guest's language, handles opening hours, late checkouts and routine requests, updates the PMS and notifies housekeeping. And when a complaint comes in, it does not improvise: it calls a person, with the full context already in hand.
The same evening, two front desks
Today
- Evening requests wait for the morning shift — and the guest writes it in the review
- The same ten questions take up half the front desk's time
- The late checkout granted verbally never reaches housekeeping
- Guest conversations live on somebody's phone
With Calypso
- A reply in seconds, in the guest's language, at any hour
- Routine questions answer themselves; the front desk returns to the guests in front of it
- Every concession updates the PMS and the departments in the same instant
- The conversation log stays with the hotel, not on third-party servers
What it brings you
The 11.40pm requests get their answer at 11.40pm. The difference shows up in the reviews.
German, English, French, Spanish: the guest writes in their own language and gets the reply in the same one.
Complaints and sensitive requests go straight to the duty manager, with the context of the conversation already attached.
Guest numbers, preferences, history: the hotel's asset, kept on the hotel's machine.
Runs on AG Core Team or higher · an AGgroup composition of open-source messaging and management components, integrated with your PMS.
The comparison that matters
Same work, two routes. Cloud prices are public list prices or industry sources; ours is not a subscription — it is your own machine plus an annual fee.
| Cloud guest messaging (e.g. HiJiffy) | Calypso on AG Core | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | 200–2'000 € per month (industry sources) | Your own machine + annual maintenance fee. No per-user cost. Figure in writing after the demo |
| For 10 people | 2'400–24'000 € a year — and it grows with every hire | Unchanged: 10 or 30 users, same setup |
| Your data | On the vendor's servers, under jurisdictions you do not choose | On the machine in your office — it never leaves |
| If the vendor changes its prices | You can only accept, or migrate | Not your problem: the software is open source, the machine is yours |
| Without internet | At a standstill | Keeps working: the AI runs locally |
