BnBuddy

BnBuddy is aimed at short-term rental hosts who want to reduce repetitive guest messages and take bookings directly. Its Guidebook AI answers guest questions instantly, 24/7, using only the host's verified property details, and guests access the guidebook by QR code or link without installing an app. The Reply AI drafts responses to direct messages and sends them to the host's WhatsApp for approval before guests see them. The Rentals Site feature provides a white-label booking portal with live availability calendars synced via iCal, direct booking requests via WhatsApp or email, and bilingual English and Spanish support. The page also describes a property management service for owners in select cities, offered on a commission basis. The site states a free first property with no credit card required, and a Pro plan at $19/month for up to 6 properties.
