AI agent for vacation rental hosts
Cleaner and Co-Host Payment Reconciliation Agent
Pay the right amount to the right person for work actually done.
What it does
Payments to cleaners and co-hosts go wrong when stays, tasks and invoices do not line up. This agent matches stays, cleaning tasks and invoices, flags differences and drafts payments. After corrections it recomputes the totals until stays, tasks and invoices agree. The host approves each payment. It also keeps a running balance per person, so a small difference one month is carried forward and not forgotten. Each draft payment lists the stays and tasks it covers, so the host can approve it in one look. Edge case: a cleaning invoice for a stay that was cancelled is flagged unless a cancellation fee applies.
How it works
Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.
