Situation

The situation

Check-in depends on details from each guest's ID and booking confirmation. Collecting them and keying them in takes front-desk time and invites mistakes.

The build

What I built

I built a chat assistant that asks every guest in a party to upload their ID, reads the details from each document, and validates them.

In use

What it does

  • Guests upload their documents in a chat.
  • The assistant reads the name, date of birth and other details from each document.
  • It keeps track of the party and asks for the next guest's document until it has everyone's.

Watch it run

A 17-second run on two sample IDs. The assistant reads each name and date of birth and asks for the next guest's document. No sound.

In detail

A closer look at the problem and how the build works.

The situation

A hotel needs details from every guest's ID and from the booking confirmation. Collecting those documents and keying the details in takes front-desk time.

What I built

I built a chat assistant for that step. It asks each guest in the party to upload their ID.

How it works

  • The guest uploads a photo of the document.
  • The assistant reads the details from it and shows what it found.
  • It works out what is still missing.
  • It asks for the next guest's document until it has everyone's.

The screenshots show the assistant running on a sample ID.
