People keep asking whether we’re in an AI bubble.

To me, that misses the real point.

Hotels don’t fall behind because they lack AI.
They fall behind when the day-to-day work isn’t clear.

AI doesn’t fix that. It just shows you the cracks faster.

If you add AI to a process that already works, it speeds everything up.
If you add it to a process that’s messy or inconsistent, it makes the pain louder.

So the better question isn’t “Should we add AI?”

It’s: “Is this workflow clean enough that AI would actually help?”

That’s the part most teams skip.

What’s the one process in your hotel you’d fix first?
