Summary: Mews launches native Guest Messaging and Automations, with AI resolving 80% of routine queries and the GM setting the workflow.

## Article

Mews has rolled out **Guest Messaging and Automations**, two native tools inside its PMS that pull every guest conversation into a single thread. WhatsApp, email, website chat, SMS and OTA messages stop living in separate tabs and land in one inbox per booking. The AI layer automatically handles roughly **80% of routine queries** (check-in times, wifi, parking, towel requests), and only what falls outside the script reaches the front desk.

The detail I find interesting is who is in charge. Mews does not impose a closed flow: it is the **general manager** who defines the automations, the triggers and the tone per segment. The front desk stops being a response centre and goes back to doing what it should, looking after the person standing in front of them. According to the announcement picked up by [Hospitality Net](https://www.hospitalitynet.org/news/4134685/mews-launches-guest-messaging-and-automations-gms-set-the-workflow-front-desk-staff-get-back-to-hosting), the goal is to consolidate channels and strip manual work out of the middle.

My read: Mews is making a move in territory already occupied by Duetto, Whistle, Asksuite and a long list of point solutions. The advantage of going native is the data, the message stays tied to the guest profile and folio, with no half-baked integrations. The catch is whether the GM has the time and the judgement to design those flows, because a badly built automation annoys guests more than a slow receptionist. If your leadership team takes it seriously, this is hours recovered and better data for revenue.
