Use Case: Evolving Hotel Guest Communications
Occamise provides hotels with a flexible, evolving platform that adapts to meet their needs over time. Most hotels begin their Occamise journey by using it as a customer service tool, providing automated support for guests or prospective guests when staff are unavailable. However, as the hotel’s needs grow, Occamise enables them to expand into more advanced functionalities, from knowledge management to proactive guest engagement and even fully automated concierge services. This modular, scalable approach helps hotels maximise the value of the platform over time.
Solution overview
The Occamise platform starts with a core capability - 24/7 automated customer service - and builds upon it to create a seamless, self-healing system. The initial deployment typically involves a Hotel Assistance Agent that can handle guest inquiries across SMS, Webchat, WebRTC, or Phone, responding to questions and assisting with basic requests like room service or maintenance. This agent is available around the clock, ensuring that guests always have support, even during off-hours.

Hotel Assistance with the Main Service Agent
At the centre of the solution is the Hostel Assistance agent (depicted in purple in middle), which acts as the primary support for guests. Accessible through various channels, this agent can provide instant responses, assist with common requests, and transfer conversations to human staff when needed. Guests might access this agent via a personal webchat link at check-in, an in-room compendium, or an on-premises poster. This setup allows the hotel to deliver consistent service even when staff are busy or unavailable.
Self-Healing Knowledge with the Knowledge Agent
As the Customer Service Agent operates, it occasionally encounters questions it cannot answer. Rather than leaving these gaps unresolved, the agent flags them as missing knowledge. This is where the Knowledge Agent (depicted in pink at top) comes in—admin staff interact with this agent to update and curate knowledge items, through conversations or webchat. The Knowledge Agent can research, scrape information, interact with other hotel systems and update records as needed. Each morning, it presents flagged knowledge gaps to admin staff, ensuring that the knowledge base remains current without manual tracking, creating a self-sustaining cycle of continuous improvement.
Revenue Generation through Proactive Outreach with the Offer Agent
Once the core customer service and knowledge management components are in place, the hotel can begin exploring revenue opportunities through proactive guest engagement. The Tasks Agent (depicted in brown on the left) fetches a list of eligible guests nightly and sends SMS invitations with personalised offers, such as a discounted extra night or late check-out. The Offer Agent (depicted in green bottom left), discusses details with guests who engage, and if the guest accepts, it initiates the necessary processes to confirm the request. This proactive outreach not only enhances the guest experience but also generates additional revenue for the hotel.
Comprehensive Logging and Review
The platform logs all interactions and requests, allowing hotel management to track guest inquiries, review common issues, and gain insights into guest preferences. This data-driven approach helps the hotel continuously refine its service and ensure all interactions meet quality standards. Reporting and analysis conversations are handled by the Reporting and Analytics Agent (depicted in orange at the bottom).
Additional Multilingual Feature
Occamise agents can communicate in virtually any language. If a guest conversation is transferred to a staff member, real-time translation enables each participant to speak their own language seamlessly, with neither aware they’re speaking different languages.
