“Hi — staying through Sunday. Could I get a late checkout (1 PM if possible) and a recommendation for a quiet brunch spot Saturday morning?”
Agent draft · in your tone
Hi Ms. Bell — happy to grant 1:00 PM checkout, Sunday is yours. For Saturday brunch, three quiet picks within a 5-min walk: Linnea Café (best pastries), Owl & Olive (full menu, garden seats), or Florist (small, intimate). I can call ahead for any of them.
How does Acquire work for hospitality teams?
Acquire works for hospitality teams as the engine behind a DeskFerry agent built around the workflows that actually consume your week.
- 01
Trigger fires
The agent reads context from Acquire and the other systems your hospitality operation depends on, runs the routine work in the background, and surfaces only the cases that need a human decision.
- 02
Reply to every guest message in @Gmail using @Acquire
AI posts relevant updates from connected systems to team channels, keeping everyone informed without manual status reports.
- 03
Surface the right room context and write in our concierge voice
Teams typically see fast inquiry response time once the agent is in production.
- 04
You approve
Setup is no-code, every action is auditable, and the agent is scoped to the rules your hospitality team defines — not a generic template applied to your business.
How you tell it what to do
Built in plain English.
You write the rule the way you'd describe it to a teammate. The agent reads the rule, breaks it into the actions it'll take, and confirms the apps it'll touch — before it does anything.

Human in the loop
Approve before it sends.
Every draft lands in a review queue. You approve, edit, or reject — the agent never acts on its own unless you explicitly turn that on for a workflow you trust.
Governance
Every action, with the reasoning attached.
Each step the agent takes is logged with what it did, why it did it, and which app it touched. Audit-ready, so security and compliance can sign off without backfilling.
