Inquiry response and qualification
Answer approved questions, capture event requirements, identify venue or service fit, and collect the information staff needs.
AI automation for hospitality and events
Respond quickly, qualify accurately, and keep the human booking relationship.
865 Works designs AI-assisted inquiry and booking workflows that help hospitality teams answer routine questions, identify fit, collect requirements, prepare next steps, and transfer qualified prospects with complete context.
The business case
Hospitality automation should improve responsiveness without sounding mechanical.
Event and hospitality purchases are emotional, detailed, and time-sensitive. Prospects expect quick answers, but many decisions require judgment, relationship building, site-specific knowledge, and approval. The system should accelerate routine work while making the staff handoff more informed and personal.
865 Works structures the inquiry around fit: date, guest count, event type, location, services, budget signals, timing, accessibility, policies, and the prospect’s next decision. The agent or workflow can answer approved questions, recommend the appropriate option, prepare a range or estimate, and route the opportunity.
Commitments such as final availability, negotiated price, contract terms, deposits, and exceptions can remain under employee control. The automation should create a cleaner sales process, not an uncontrolled promise engine.
Implementation scope
A connected path from inquiry to booked event.
The implementation can support venues, attractions, lodging, catering, tours, and other inquiry-driven hospitality operations.
Estimate and recommendation logic
Apply controlled pricing ranges, packages, capacity, options, and rules without presenting an unapproved final commitment.
Calendar and availability workflow
Check or request availability, prevent ambiguous status, coordinate holds, and route conflicts or special requests.
Communication and booking handoff
Create email or SMS follow-up, schedule tours or calls, preserve conversation context, and move qualified leads into the sales process.
How the work is controlled
Design around the prospect journey and staff handoff.
Every response should move the inquiry toward a clear next step or a well-contextualized human conversation.

Practical questions
What business owners usually need to know.
Implementation decisions should be based on the workflow, risk, data, users, and economics—not a predetermined AI product.
Will an AI agent give out the wrong price?
The design can limit the agent to approved ranges or packages, require necessary inputs, disclose that final pricing is subject to review, and route exceptions to staff.
Can it check a Google Calendar?
Yes, through an authorized integration or booking schedule, with rules for which calendar states are informational versus confirmed.
Can the system send text messages?
Yes, when the business has an appropriate messaging provider, consent language, opt-out handling, record retention, and a defined communication workflow.
Will this replace the sales person?
The objective is usually to remove repetitive response and qualification work so the sales person can focus on fit, relationship, tours, negotiation, and closing.
