    The voice channel conversion playbook for hotels

    This week, on the Hotel Moment podcast, we are running an experiment. Today’s podcast was generated using an AI-powered tool. We fed the tool our content, played with the prompts, and landed on this episode.  The world of podcasting is currently in the midst of a debate: “Are conversations crafted by AI-powered tools engaging? Are they on point? Convincing? And what extent will we go to in our search for efficiency?”  We had a suspicion we wouldn’t be fans of AI-generated podcasts. After producing this episode, we are more convinced than before.  AI has a crucial role to play. It powers crucial components of our own tech stack. There is a limit, though, and we discovered that limit with this episode. We value conversations with real people. The reactions, insights, and warmth simply cannot be mimicked. The value of what we bring listeners week after week with the Hotel Moment podcast cannot be duplicated through an AI-powered tool. Take a listen and let us know if you share our opinion.  This episode is a complete overview of our voice guide, “The voice channel conversion playbook for hotels." It provides a high-level overview of topics within this guide, including stories from Revinate customers to inspire you. So tune in for a deeper look at how to maximize the power of the voice channel and appreciate the value of real conversations with real people on this podcast or in the conversations guests have with your reservation agents every day.
