Emergency Detection That Never Misses the Message That Matters
AI continuously analyzes every guest message to surface urgency, emotional distress, and critical situations in real time so your team can act fast when it counts.
At scale, inbox volume kills vigilance. Critical messages hide in plain sight, especially at night, during weekends, or in peak season. Emergency Detection exists to make sure the one message that truly matters is surfaced instantly, every time.

Yes. Emergency Detection does not replace human judgment or decision-making.
The AI continuously analyzes every written guest message and surfaces urgency, emotional distress, and potential criticality. From there, your team reviews the message, decides what action is needed, and responds as usual. Nothing is auto-sent, auto-resolved, or auto-escalated without human involvement.
The result is simple: humans spend time acting, not scanning, and critical situations get attention faster without removing accountability or control.
What if the AI flags too many messages?
The system is intentionally designed to prefer over-alerting rather than silence.
Missing a true emergency has far greater consequences than reviewing a message that turns out to be non-critical. To prevent alert fatigue, Emergency Detection combines over-alerting with clear visual tags, priority queues, and customizable notification rules so teams can quickly assess and triage.
In practice, teams report feeling more in control, not less, because urgency is visible immediately instead of being buried in inbox noise.
Is guest privacy respected?
Yes. Privacy is a foundational design principle.
Only written guest messages that are voluntarily sent through supported communication channels are analyzed. There is no audio analysis, no call monitoring, no background listening, and no surveillance of any kind.
All processing is designed to comply with GDPR requirements, ensuring guest trust, brand safety, and regulatory peace of mind for operators.
Emergencies are rare. Why invest in this?
You do not invest in Emergency Detection for frequency. You invest for impact and risk mitigation.
A single poorly handled incident can lead to negative reviews, loss of owner trust, operational stress, or reputational damage that far outweighs the cost of prevention. Emergency Detection also delivers daily operational value by improving prioritization, reducing inbox stress, and increasing team confidence.
Think of it as insurance that also improves everyday operations.
Can AI really understand urgency, emotion, and context?
The AI does not rely on keywords alone.
It analyzes language patterns, emotional signals, phrasing, and contextual cues that often indicate panic, confusion, fear, or stress, even when guests do not explicitly say something is urgent. This is especially valuable in multilingual environments and after-hours situations where subtle cues matter.
The goal is not perfect interpretation. The goal is early risk surfacing, so humans can intervene sooner.
What if the AI misinterprets a message?
Emergency Detection never takes action or makes decisions.
It flags potential urgency and criticality and surfaces those messages to humans for review. The system is deliberately conservative and designed to surface risk early, even when uncertainty exists.
This approach ensures that nothing important is silently ignored, while keeping final judgment and responsibility fully in human hands.
Does this work at scale?
Yes. Emergency Detection is built specifically for scale.
Whether you manage 5 properties or 5000 plus, the AI applies the same level of vigilance to every message, every time. As portfolios grow and inbox volume increases, detection quality remains consistent without adding headcount.
This allows teams to scale operations without losing care, responsiveness, or situational awareness.
