What Sarah handles

Everything a guest needs at 2am —
resolved instantly

From lockbox codes to genuine emergencies, Sarah handles the most common after-hours issues without involving your team.

🔐

Lockbox & Access

Reads access codes digit by digit, clearly and twice. Or sends them via SMS — the guest chooses.

📶

WiFi Details

Sends network name and password directly to the guest's mobile in under a second. No spelling, no repeating.

🌡

Heat Pump & Heating

Step-by-step operating instructions and fault-finding — tailored to the specific unit in each property.

🚿

Hot Water

Gas pilot light relighting guide. Walks guests through troubleshooting before escalating if needed.

📺

TV & Appliances

Input switching, streaming app help and remote troubleshooting — matched to the exact TV in each property.

🚨

Emergency Triage

Two-tier system: fire and medical go straight to 111. Smoke, gas, flooding escalate your on-call team for human assessment.

How it works

Four steps. Seamless for guests.

01

Guest calls your number

Sarah answers immediately. No hold music. No voicemail. A calm, natural voice every time.

02

Sarah asks for the address and locates the property instantly — smart matching across your portfolio.

03

Issue resolved

Answer delivered directly — codes, passwords, instructions — or SMS'd to the guest's phone in seconds.

04

Escalates if needed

Unresolved issues alert your on-call team. Response times logged automatically via one-tap link.

FAQ

Common questions

Sawubona (sa-woo-BOH-na) is a Zulu greeting meaning "I see you." We build AI-powered after-hours phone assistants for NZ hospitality operators. Sarah, our voice AI, answers your guest phone line whenever your office is closed — instantly, every time.

We onboard your property data during setup — WiFi details, lockbox codes, appliance instructions and access notes. For larger portfolios we integrate directly with HomeBook/Newbook so Sarah's information is always live and up to date automatically.

She escalates to your on-call team via SMS — with the property address, issue summary, and steps already attempted. For life-threatening emergencies (fire, medical), she directs guests to call 111 immediately and simultaneously alerts your team.

Yes — unlimited simultaneous calls. Unlike a human on-call, Sarah handles any number of concurrent calls with no degradation in quality. Two guests from different properties can both call at midnight and each receive Sarah's full attention.

Escalation SMS includes a one-tap confirmation link. Staff tap it the moment they're about to call the guest back — response time is logged automatically and shown in the dashboard in green, yellow, or red. Every escalation becomes a timestamped accountability record.

Most operators are live within 3–5 business days. We handle all the technical setup — hosting, phone number, configuration. You just provide your property details, review the setup, and approve before going live.
