Live Zoom Sessions: July 13, 20, 27 at 1pm ET
This 3-week Lab helps lodging professionals use AI in a way that feels simple, practical, and true to their brand without adding unnecessary complexity or sounding generic.
Through live Zoom sessions, instructor demos, and hands-on homework, participants will learn how to train AI to reflect their unique business voice and create real, ready-to-use content—from guest emails to marketing pieces to blog posts—quickly, confidently, and authentically.

Week 1: Guest Communication with AI
Start where it matters most—your guest experience.
- Build your custom AI Business Profile so your content sounds like you
- Draft your most-used guest emails:

Week 2: Marketing Content Made Easy
Turn AI into your marketing assistant.
- Create customer personas for your ideal guests
- Write seasonal package descriptions

Week 3: Blogging with AI
Create content that works for you long after it’s published.

- Generate a full blog draft using AI
- Refine it to match your voice
- Repurpose it into newsletter and social content
