Tone, rules & FAQ

Best practices for writing clear rules and FAQ.

Good agent config makes AI replies accurate and on-brand. Here’s how to write tone, rules, and FAQ that work well.

Tone

  • Friendly — Warm, approachable; good for vacation rentals and small properties.
  • Professional — Clear and polite; good for managed properties or business travelers.
  • Casual — Relaxed, short; good for informal stays.
  • Formal — More structured language; good for high-end or corporate stays.

Stick to one tone per property so replies feel consistent.

Check-in and check-out rules

  • Write concrete instructions: times, place, process (e.g. “Check-in from 4 PM at the key box; code sent 48h before arrival”).
  • Include what the guest must do (e.g. leave keys, strip beds) and any penalties or fees if relevant.
  • Avoid vague phrases; the AI will repeat or paraphrase what you write.

FAQ

  • One topic per pair — e.g. “What’s the WiFi password?” / “Network: GuestNet, password: xxx.”
  • Use guest-like questions — Phrase as guests would ask (e.g. “Is there parking?”).
  • Keep answers short — A few sentences; the AI can combine with other context.
  • Update when things change — WiFi code, contact, etc.

Local attractions

  • Name — As guests would search (e.g. “Plage des Sables”).
  • Description — One line: what it is and why it’s nice.
  • Distance — “5 min walk”, “10 km by car”, so the AI can give practical guidance.
