The Evolution of the Hotel Front Desk: How to Coexist with TechnologyFebruary 19, 2024

The Evolution of the Hotel Front Desk: How to Coexist with Technology

Here at Akia, we are developing a world class communication platform powered by a layer of artificial intelligence. Our goal is to facilitate and improve guest communications, services, and experiences. Now one might ask, “But wait – will your AI completely replace the front desk?”. We don’t believe that AI will truly ever replace a human being with a guest, but it can coexist with the staff and guests. We want Akia to augment the hospitality experience, not to replace it.
