Speaker
Three practical perspectives on the path from first listings to repeatable operations and growth.
Max Del Vita is the CEO and Co-founder of Symplehost.ai, an AI-powered property management platform for hospitality and short-term rental operators. He works with hosts and teams across Southeast Asia to simplify guest communication, listing onboarding, calendar operations, pricing, payments, and task handoffs with practical AI workflows.
In this session: Max will show how AI is changing hospitality operations now, where automation creates real value, and how operators can onboard themselves and their teams into AI-assisted workflows without overwhelming the business.
Get practical with AI before the market makes it mandatory.
Hospitality and short-term rentals are moving into a new operating era. Guests expect faster replies, cleaner handoffs, more personal service, and fewer mistakes. Teams are already stretched, and adding more dashboards does not solve the problem.
This Bali session is designed for hosts, villa operators, property managers, and hospitality teams who want a practical view of where AI and automation can help today.
Max Del Vita, CEO and Co-founder of Symplehost.ai and Claude Community Ambassador, will walk through how AI is changing the way hospitality teams manage guest communication, operations, listings, bookings, and daily decisions.
The goal is simple: help operators understand what is real, what is hype, and how to start using AI in a way that makes the business easier to run.
What you’ll learn
What is already possible across guest messaging, team operations, listing setup, reporting, and direct booking workflows.
How to spot repeatable work that AI can support without losing service quality or control.
How AI can help hosts respond faster, keep context, handle common questions, and escalate the right conversations.
How operators can connect listings, organize property knowledge, and prepare the account for AI-assisted operations.
A practical first-week adoption path for teams that want the benefits of AI without disrupting the way they already work.
The common mistakes operators make when they turn on automation too quickly or use AI without clean data and workflows.
