/   ABOUT CONDUIT

Helping service businesses operate autonomously.

Conduit helps service businesses operate autonomously, starting with hotels and vacation rentals. Our AI agents handle customer communication, back-office work, and coordination with field teams.

We founded Conduit in 2024. We're based in San Francisco.

Why we started

We've stayed at hotels and vacation rentals where a simple request meant a long wait for a reply. We started Conduit to help businesses respond when guests needed them.

We began with guest messages. Customers then asked us to do more: update a reservation, contact a cleaner, or arrange a repair. Answering a message wasn't enough to get the job done.

We're building AI agents that can do that work, using the systems a business already has and following the rules its operators set.

The team behind Conduit

Cole built and operated vacation rentals, from finding land and building properties to looking after guests. The real estate he has developed, owned, or operated has a total value in the nine figures.

Punn built AI infrastructure at Google for advertising experiments for online travel agencies, including Booking.com and Expedia. His work included building guardrails around the AI.

Communication

AI agents answer messages and calls using your business information. For a hotel, that includes the guest's reservation and the property's policies. Your team takes over when needed.

Operations

AI agents use your connected systems to update records, coordinate field teams, and check that tasks are completed. A guest's request can become a maintenance task, with updates sent back to the guest.

Commerce

AI agents recommend services during a conversation. Customers can then open a portal to browse offers, check the details, and buy or request what they want.

We work with 300+ hospitality brands in 120+ countries.

You set the rules

You decide how your AI agents should work and which decisions need your approval. You can change their instructions, skills, and approval rules by talking to them.

When an AI agent makes a mistake, you and our team can review what happened and adjust its instructions or workflow. That gives you a way to fix a recurring problem instead of handling it again with the next guest.

Getting started

On the demo call, we discuss the work you want to automate, the systems you use, and whether your team is ready to start.

Our agent product managers help you set up and test the first automations. Getting those live typically takes two to four weeks, depending on your systems and what you're automating.

We then usually spend another four to eight weeks reviewing real requests with your team. We look at what the AI agents did, where they needed help, and what your team corrected. We use those reviews to update their instructions, skills, and workflows.
