Travel Outlook Unveils Major Upgrades to Annette™, The Virtual Hotel Agent™, Powered By PolyAI

Travel Outlook, the hospitality industry’s premier voice reservations company, today announced major upgrades to Annette™, The Virtual Hotel Agent™, its groundbreaking AI-powered voice assistant designed exclusively for hotels.

The latest version of Annette is now powered by PolyAI’s next-generation conversational technology, enabling truly human-like, guest-led interactions that redefine what’s possible for hotel call handling and guest engagement.

A New Standard for AI Conversations in Hospitality

With the integration of PolyAI’s proprietary spoken-language technology, Annette can now understand what guests mean — not just what they say. The enhanced system processes natural, unscripted speech, allowing guests to ask questions in their own words and receive fast, accurate, and personal responses.

Annette’s upgraded capabilities include:

  • Natural Speech Understanding: Recognizes guest intent from long or complex inputs without relying on keywords.
  • Human-like Dialogue: Manages multi-turn, real-world conversations with natural pacing, timing, and tone.
  • Accurate Recognition: Captures names, numbers, and details the first time with advanced speech and phonetic matching.
  • Multilingual Conversations: Automatically detects and responds in the guest’s preferred language, ensuring a consistent global experience.
  • Seamless Integration: Handles multiple calls simultaneously, provides local recommendations, and transfers calls to the appropriate department.





John Smallwood
President
Travel Outlook

“Our mission has always been to deliver exceptional guest experiences through technology,” said John Smallwood, President of Travel Outlook. “With PolyAI’s voice technology now powering Annette, hotels can offer conversations that sound and feel genuinely human — 24/7. It’s a major leap forward in guest communication and operational efficiency.”





Nikola Mrkšić
CEO and Co-Founder PolyAI

“Every customer deserves to be understood, no matter their accent, background, or language,” added Nikola Mrkšić, CEO and Co-Founder of PolyAI. “Annette demonstrates how advanced voice AI can enhance hospitality, not replace it — bringing empathy, accuracy, and ease to every interaction.”

Enhancing Guest Experience and Hotel Operations

Annette helps hotels handle high call volumes with ease, ensuring every guest feels heard and assisted. From answering questions about amenities to providing local recommendations or following up with a text message, Annette keeps conversations fluid and personal — allowing front-desk staff to focus on in-person service.

By combining PolyAI’s human-like conversational intelligence with Travel Outlook’s hospitality expertise, Annette empowers hotels to deliver the next generation of guest experiences — faster, smarter, and more personal than ever.
