The GenAI tools a hotel team actually meets
Three tiers, fourteen sub-categories, sixty-eight vendors. The labs that build the models, the apps your team opens, and the hospitality-specific products wrapped around them. A starting point for vendor conversations, not the final word.
Pricing bands are captured on a best-effort basis. Verify with the vendor before any procurement decision.

How to read the directory
Tier 01: Foundation labs
The labs that train the underlying models. Hoteliers rarely contract with them directly, but every other entry is built on top of one.
Tier 02/03: What your team opens
Chat apps, copilots, voice tools, code editors. Builder and voice platforms are folded in: the same conceptual layer for the team using them.
Tier 04: Hospitality-specific
Built for hotels: guest messaging, PMS, RMS, voice AI, reviews, marketing. Almost all of them are a Tier 01 model wrapped with hospitality data.
