Guidebooks that keep themselves current.
Akia pulls door codes and check-in times straight from your PMS, so every unit gets its own guidebook that never goes stale.
Getting in

Maintaining paper binders.
Staff spend hours printing, updating, and replacing physical binders that guests rarely read.
Outdated guidebooks create questions.
Wrong door codes, old WiFi passwords, and stale recommendations generate calls and texts to the front desk.
You don't know when information should be updated.
Without a system tied to your PMS, there’s no trigger to refresh details when a code or policy changes.

Akia reads the guidebook to answer.
Ask her where to park or how the hot tub works. Akia checks the guidebook and drafts the real answer. Build it once, and she uses it for every guest, on every channel.
A warm welcome, the day before they arrive.
Set it once and Akia texts every guest the day before. She welcomes them and drops the guidebook right in the message.

The guide lives inside a little web app the guest opens from a text. No download, no login, and the same building blocks power the rest of the stay.
FAQ
Digital guidebooks, answered.
What is a digital guidebook?
A digital guidebook is a phone-friendly guide to a property and its area: wifi, check-out time, house rules, and local recommendations. Guests open it from a link, with no app to download.
What's the purpose of a digital guidebook?
It answers the questions guests would otherwise text or call about, and it puts your recommendations in front of them during the stay. That means fewer repeat questions for staff and a guest who finds the good coffee without asking.
Can guests access it without an app?
Yes. Akia opens the guidebook right in the guest's phone from a link, with no app store and no login.
Can I update the guidebook after guests have it?
Yes. You edit it once and every guest sees the current version, so a changed gate code or a new restaurant is live immediately.
Does the guidebook work for hotels and rentals?
Yes. Hotels use it for amenities and hours, rentals use it for house rules and access, and both skip the printed binder.
