What they do

Problem

Hotels lack modern direct-booking infrastructure and machine-readable inventory, forcing them to rely on OTAs with high commissions and preventing AI agents from completing end-to-end bookings.

Solution

GuruHotel provides an AI-native direct booking protocol that unifies inventory access, booking, and payments to enable seamless direct hotel reservations (including by AI agents).

Who it's for

Independent hotels and other hospitality operators that want to increase direct online bookings and reduce OTA dependency.
