How AI is used

Autohost is a verification and screening platform designed for the hospitality sector, including short-term rentals, hotels, and property management companies. The platform identifies high-risk guests before check-in through a variety of digital tools.

The software supports different security levels, ranging from touchless verification to criminal background and credit history checks. Businesses can select the level of screening that fits their specific risk profile for each property.

Integration is supported via SDK, RESTful API, or hosted pages, allowing the service to be embedded into booking flows or used as a standalone portal. For those using a Property Management System (PMS), the tool is designed to align with these workflows to help manage guest arrivals.

Buyers should confirm whether the specific background check types available in their region meet local regulatory requirements and whether the usage-based pricing fits their expected volume of guests.
