nightly

For Airbnb hosts with 1–30 homes

The guest-messaging AI you can actually leave on.

Most tools answer your guests and tell you afterwards. Nightly writes the reply, shows it to you, and waits — until you decide a question is safe enough for it to handle alone. Some things it will never say, whatever you decide.

Hi Anjali! Quick question before I book: is the pool heated in October, and is early check-in around 2pm ever possible?
Nightly's draft Early check-in · fairly sure
Hi Atul, thanks for asking! The pool isn't heated — a heater is planned for late September, so I'll let you know if that changes before your dates. Early check-in around 2pm is usually fine when there's no same-day turnover; I'll confirm a few days before. — Anjali
Used two facts from your house page: pool not heated, early check-in policy. Nothing about price.

Most hosts try AI messaging once

Then a guest asks about a refund, the bot answers warmly and wrongly, and the feature gets switched off for good. It isn't that the writing is bad. It's that you find out what was said at the same time the guest does.

You read it first

Every draft waits in your queue until you tap. Turn a question type loose only once you've watched it get answered right a dozen times — Wi-Fi and parking first, maybe nothing else, ever.

A list it can't cross

Money, cancellations, door codes before a booking, links, phone numbers, anything legal. Blocked whatever the switches say — and blocked by reading the message itself, not by trusting the AI's own read of it.

Receipts, not vibes

Every message proposed, approved, sent or refused is written down with the reason. When a guest quotes something back at you, you can look it up.

Set up in five minutes. Nothing typed but corrections.

There is no channel API in the middle and no password to hand over. Nightly works inside the Chrome you're already signed into, and you decide what it may do without asking.

1

Add Nightly to Chrome

It finds the Airbnb tab you're already signed into and shows “Connected as you · 1 listing”. Connect Gmail with one click so it wakes up the minute a guest writes.

1 minute

Check your house facts

Check-in times, Wi-Fi, parking, pool, rules — read from your listing and shown as cards. Fix two or three. These are the only facts it will ever tell a guest.

2 minutes

Decide what it may do alone

Three switches, all off: answer simple questions, send scheduled messages, ask for reviews. For the first week you approve everything — that's how trust is earned.

30 seconds

Approve your first draft

It has already read your newest guest message and written a reply. Approve, edit, or reject — approving sends it through your own Airbnb tab, as if you typed it.

1 minute

After that, it's a badge in your toolbar.

Twice a day, open it, tap through what's waiting, and read the log whenever you're curious — every message, who decided, and why. Two minutes, not two apps.

What it never does on its own

Whatever switches you turn on, these always land in your queue — or are refused outright. It's not a setting; it's the product.

Pricing

The big tools now give away the plumbing — inbox, calendar sync, reminders — and charge $29–39 a listing for the AI messaging on top (September 2026). That one feature is all Nightly does, and it does the careful version of it.

No commission on your bookings, ever. Cancelling doesn't delete anything — you drop back to the free plan, keep your house facts and your whole history, and can come back whenever. Nothing about your Airbnb account is touched. More than one home? Write to hello@nightlyhost.com — we'd rather price that with you than guess.

What we're building next

Feature by feature, on our own home in Encino first. Nothing ships to you until it has run there for two weeks without anyone opening Airbnb for that job.

Guest messaging & automations

The part of Hospitable people actually pay for

  • Now: drafted replies with an approval queue and a log you can read
  • Next: scheduled messages — booking confirmed, check-in morning with the door code, check-out eve, review request
  • Then: one inbox across Airbnb and Vrbo, turnover tasks and cleaner notifications

Dynamic pricing

What PriceLabs charges separately for

  • Later: seasonality, day-of-week, lead-time and gap-night rules that propose a year of prices
  • Always: you see the change before anything is pushed to your calendar
  • Then: minimum stays by season, last-minute discounts, comps from your own market

Start free

Twenty-five drafted replies a month, no card, no expiry. Nightly runs as a Chrome extension in the browser you already use — the listing is with Google for review, so leave your email and we'll send the install link the day it's approved. Best fit: you self-manage one to a few homes, or you switched an AI messaging feature off after it said something you wouldn't have.
