Using AI Room Assignment (Video Transcript)

0:06

In this video, you will learn how to run the AI Room Assignment, which uses artificial

0:11

intelligence and data science to auto-assign rooms and upgrade rooms for today's arrivals.

0:17

Rooms are assigned and upgraded based on a cost analysis calculated by AI which considers

0:22

the guest preferences.

0:24

When the AI room assignment OPERA control is turned on and your user is assigned the

0:31

AI room assignment task, then you can run the AI room

0:41

assignment.

0:42

Let's get started.

0:44

To run the AI Room assignment process for today's arrivals, go to Front Desk, and then

0:49

select Arrivals.

0:54

Click the I want to menu, and then click AI Room Assignment.

1:02

Confirm or select a property, and then click Run Now.

1:07

This process may take several minutes to apply.

1:11

Next, click search to display the list of arrival reservations.

1:16

If AI or AI upgrade appears is next to the room, then the room was assigned or upgraded

1:21

based on the AI calculations.

1:24

To choose a different room for the reservation, I can click the room.

1:28

And then click select another room.

1:32

Now, I can search for another room based on room status, room type, or other features.

1:38

If the AI display order check box is selected then the rooms automatically display, according

1:44

to the lowest cost and the guest preferences.

1:47

For example, the rooms at the top of the list have a lower cost and satisfy the guest's

1:53

preferences.

1:54

Now, I can select the room options and then click search.

1:58

Next, select the room and then click accept room selection.

2:05

Now, I see the new room is assigned to the reservation.

2:11

Let's take a look at the OPERA Cloud dashboard.

2:15

I see an AI Room Assignment dashboard tile that displays various AI Room Assignment statistics.

2:22

I can scroll through the dates to view the number of rooms assigned by AI for the different

2:26

days.

2:27

In this example, I see the AI room assignment is not applied to the rooms for Monday, July

2:32

13th.

2:33

And I see July 12th now shows the % of rooms assigned by AI is 90.91% because we just ran

2:41

the AI room assignment process.
