How to initialize my AI assistant ?

To set up the AI assistant for your property:

First, ensure that your subscription includes the "Assistant" features, which are available for the Assistant package and higher.

Prerequisites:

  • You must have a complete Airbnb account with a published listing.
  • You need a customized avatar on your Airbnb profile.

Step 1: Initialize the setup

  • Go to your property box and click on Assistant.
  • A window will open. Click "Initialize" in the Airbnb section.

  • Enter the URL of your Airbnb Profile and Listing, following the provided URL format example.
  • To retrieve these URLs:
    • For your listing: On your computer, go to your listings, click on the listing in question > Overview > Share (top right of the overview) > Copy the link. Keep only the basic link as shown :
https://www.airbnb.fr/rooms/1368653962456861226?guests=1&adults=1&s=67&unique_share_id=0ca5b2a6-62a0-4a1f-b5ab-20bc7fa75195
  • You need to keep:
https://www.airbnb.fr/rooms/1368653962456861226
  • For your profile: On your computer, go to your listing's address. At the bottom of the page, click on your avatar to get the profile URL : https://www.airbnb.fr/users/show/682081748

Step 2: Add Nowistay as a co-host for your property

  • Once the form is submitted, a message will prompt you to add cohost@nowistay.com as a co-host on Airbnb, granting Calendar and Messages permissions.
  • To add Nowistay as a co-host:
    • Go to your Airbnb listings
    • Select your listing.
    • In the left menu, find the “Co-hosts” section.
    • Click “Add a co-host” and then “Invite someone you know.”
    • Enter cohost@nowistay.com and select Calendar and Messages access.
    • Send the invitation.
You're done setting up your co-host! Wait for Nowistay's validation, which can take from a few minutes to several hours. Once validated, your assistant will be available immediately.

⚠️ Error cases

Errors (red message) can occur due to:

  • Adding the co-host before initializing the assistant configuration.
  • Incorrect URLs provided during initialization.
  • Removing Nowistay as a co-host.

Actions to take:

  • If needed, remove Nowistay from your property's co-hosts.
  • Click reinitialize in the "Assistant Configuration" window.
  • Start over from Step 1.
