Why the best welcome book is one guests can question
Welcome books fail the same way everywhere: guests skim the welcome note, then message the host for everything else. An AI-powered welcome book fixes this — the book holds the knowledge, and a chat concierge answers every “what’s the wifi?” and “where’s good for dinner?” instantly, day or night, in the guest’s language.

Frequently asked questions
What is an Airbnb welcome book?
The guest-facing book that welcomes guests and covers wifi, arrival, house rules, appliances, emergencies and local tips. Digital versions update instantly and can answer questions via AI chat.
What should I write in the welcome note?
Two or three warm sentences: welcome guests, mention one or two highlights of the stay or area, and tell them how to reach you. The AI drafts this for you from your listing’s personality.
Is a PDF welcome book okay?
It works, but it goes stale, reads poorly on phones and can’t answer questions. A live digital welcome book with AI chat does everything a PDF does, plus answers guests at 2am.
How long does it take to make one?
About 60 seconds for the AI draft plus a few minutes of review — versus 2–4 hours filling in a bought template.
