Reservation Notes

Reservation notes sync from your PMS and are automatically analyzed by ABRA’s AI to extract preferences, celebrations, and nuggets for guest profiles.

How Notes Become Intelligence

When a reservation note arrives from your PMS, ABRA’s AI reads the text and extracts structured data that can power personalized service.
1

Notes Sync from PMS

Reservation notes are pulled automatically from your property management system whenever reservations are created or updated.
2

AI Analyzes the Note

ABRA’s AI reads the note and identifies:
  • Preferences - Room requests, dietary needs, service preferences
  • Celebrations - Birthdays, anniversaries, honeymoons
  • Nuggets - Personal insights like occupation, hobbies, or trip purpose
3

Extractions Queue for Review

AI-extracted items appear in your Human Review queue with a pending status, waiting for staff verification.
4

Staff Approves or Rejects

Review each extraction and approve accurate items or reject incorrect ones.
5

Approved Items Join the Living Profile

Confirmed preferences, celebrations, and nuggets become part of the guest’s permanent profile, ready for future stays.

What the AI Extracts

Preferences

Room types, bed preferences, dietary restrictions, allergies, housekeeping preferences, and service requests.

Celebrations

Birthdays, anniversaries, honeymoons, babymoons, graduations, engagements, weddings, and retirements.

Nuggets

Occupation, hobbies, family details, trip purpose, travel patterns, and personal interests.

Reviewing AI Extractions

When notes are processed, extracted items need human verification before joining the guest’s Living Profile.

Accessing Human Review

Look for the badge in your navigation showing the count of pending items. Click it to open the Human Review panel.
Items are organized by urgency: Arrivals first, then In-House guests, then Upcoming reservations, and finally Past stays.

The Review Interface

The Human Review panel shows:
Guest Context - Photo, name, VIP status, existing preferences and celebrations, and reservation details to help you verify accuracy.

Re-Running AI Extraction

If the AI missed something or extracted incorrectly, you can re-process the note:
  1. Click the wand icon on the original note
  2. ABRA deletes existing extractions and re-analyzes the text
  3. New extractions appear in your queue for review
Re-extraction deletes all current extractions for that note. Any previously approved items will need to be re-approved.

AI Extraction Examples

See how ABRA transforms free-text notes into structured data:
Original Note:
“Guest celebrating 25th wedding anniversary during stay. Wife’s name is Sarah. Please arrange champagne and flowers in room.”
AI Extracts:
  • Celebration: Anniversary
  • Nugget: “Married 25 years”
  • Nugget: “Wife’s name is Sarah”
  • Preference: Champagne in room (Food & Beverage)
  • Preference: Flowers in room (Housekeeping)
Original Note:
“Guest has severe nut allergy - no nuts in any food. Prefers high floor away from elevator. Late sleeper, do not disturb before 11am.”
AI Extracts:
  • Preference: Nut allergy (Food & Beverage, marked as ALLERGY)
  • Preference: High floor room (Front Office)
  • Preference: Room away from elevator (Front Office)
  • Preference: Do not disturb before 11am (Housekeeping)
Original Note:
“CEO of TechStart Inc, in town for the annual tech conference. Mentioned he runs marathons and is training for Boston.”
AI Extracts:
  • Nugget: “CEO of TechStart Inc” (Personal Information)
  • Nugget: “Attending annual tech conference” (Related to this stay)
  • Nugget: “Runs marathons, training for Boston” (Personal Information)

Allergy Handling

Allergies are flagged with special prominence due to health implications. Always verify allergy extractions carefully.
When the AI detects an allergy in a note, it:
  1. Creates a preference with the ALLERGY flag
  2. Assigns it to the Food & Beverage department
  3. Displays a red alert badge in the review interface
Approved allergies appear prominently on the guest profile and in arrival reports.

Best Practices

Review Daily

Check the Human Review queue each morning, prioritizing arrivals and in-house guests.

Trust but Verify

The AI is accurate but not perfect. Always read the original note before approving.

Reject Duplicates

If a preference or celebration already exists on the profile, reject the duplicate extraction.

Re-Extract When Needed

If the AI missed something important, use re-extraction rather than adding manually.
