Jurny and Visual Matrix team up to integrate AI tools into hotel operations

Yahoo8 hours ago
Agentic AI company Jurny has entered a letter of intent with property management system (PMS) provider Visual Matrix.
This collaboration aims to offer a fully integrated guest experience platform, automating hotel operations at scale.
The integration is set to introduce AI-powered tools such as contactless mobile check-in and checkout, identity verification, real-time guest messaging, and revenue-generating upsells within the Visual Matrix PMS environment.
Guest experiences will be further enhanced with phase II, which involves the utilisation of Junry's voice-activated AI.
Visual Matrix chief development officer Patty Jefferson said: 'Partnering with a brand such as Jurny gives our customers access to some of the most advanced, real-time guest engagement tools available today, all with minimal lift and immediate impact.
'Hotels can now offer the speed, personalisation, and polish of enterprise-scale operations on their own terms.'
The partnership addresses the growing guest expectations and ongoing staffing obstacles by supporting hotels to offer high-touch services without broadening their workforce.
New offerings, including AI-driven inbox consolidation and automated upgrade offers, are engineered to improve personalisation, reduce manual burden, and create new revenue opportunities.
Jurny commented that its platform stands apart from traditional systems by using agentic AI to autonomously manage the full guest journey.
It can handle complex tasks in real-time, such as responding to multi-channel inquiries and executing backend operations such as identity verification and room upgrades.
With this integration, hotel teams can operate more efficiently and ensure that guest interaction is immediate and tailored.
Jurny co-founder and CEO Luca Zambello said: 'Partnering with Visual Matrix brings the scale and reach to deliver truly autonomous operations to thousands of hotels at once.
'Together, we're creating infrastructure that allows hotel teams to move faster, reduce manual tasks, and elevate the guest experience using next-gen agentic AI NIA.'
The fully integrated solution aims to improve operations, increase revenue through automated upsells, and enhance service quality.
This partnership provides hotels with the necessary tools to deliver a consistent service, even as staffing issues persist and guest expectations continue to evolve.
In March 2024, Jurny introduced its AI Multi-Agent system, which manages concierge services and guest communications.
"Jurny and Visual Matrix team up to integrate AI tools into hotel operations" was originally created and published by Hotel Management Network, a GlobalData owned brand.

Jim Cramer Believes 'GE Vernova Can Continue to Grind Higher'

GE Vernova Inc. (NYSE:GEV) is one of the stocks listed in our article, Jim Cramer recently discussed these 10 S&P 500 stocks. Expressing bullishness on the company, Cramer stated: 'Finally, in fifth place for the first half of the year, we've got GE Vernova, Cramer fave, the power business that was spun off by the old General Electric about 15 months ago. This stock was up 61% in the first half of the year, and it's given you a more than 250% gain since it started independently trading in April of last year. Now, GE Vernova's got a couple of things going for it. First, they make turbines for power plants, which makes this another huge beneficiary of the AI data center theme because we're desperate for new power generation in this country that turns natural gas into power.

Former OpenAI board member said companies are going to start trying to poach Meta's new AI hires from day one

Meta has been aggressively poaching AI talent from rivals like OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic. But a former OpenAI board member said "it'll be difficult" for Meta to succeed with its new hires. Helen Toner, who left OpenAI in 2023, said companies will also try to woo Meta's new hires. Helen Toner, a former OpenAI board member, said Meta could start seeing other companies trying to poach back their newly brought in AI talent. Toner, who left OpenAI's board in November 2023, said in an interview with Bloomberg on Thursday that Meta will need to show they are "moving fast enough" in the field to retain their new AI hires. Toner added that Meta "will be getting attempts to poach them back to other companies starting on day one." Meta has been stepping up its AI recruitment efforts amid a wider industry search for AI talent. Last month, Meta said it had made a $15 billion investment in data-labeling firm ScaleAI. ScaleAI's founder and CEO, Alexandr Wang will also be joining Meta as its Chief AI Officer as part of the investment. Wang will also co-lead Meta Superintelligence Labs with Nat Friedman, the former CEO of Github. The rest of Meta's new team comprises former researchers from OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic. Toner, however, told Bloomberg that "it'll be difficult" for Meta to achieve success with its new AI hires. "There's a lot of organizational politics at play," she continued. Toner said the challenge Meta faced was not just about procuring resources but also managing egos. "That takes a lot of willingness to stare down powerful people inside your company, who maybe don't want to lose and tell them that you actually don't want them to do what they want," Toner said. "The question will be, in part, can Mark Zuckerberg, if this is his big personal project, is that enough to change their organizational dynamics," she added. Toner isn't the only one who has criticized Meta's recruitment efforts. Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI, said he found it "crazy" that Meta offered his employees $100 million signing bonuses to leave. "The strategy of a ton of upfront guaranteed comp and that being the reason you tell someone to join, like really the degree to which they're focusing on that and not the work and not the mission, I don't think that's going to set up a great culture," Altman said in an episode of the "Uncapped with Jack Altman" podcast that aired last month. Toner had previously voted to fire Altman as OpenAI's CEO in November 2023. At the time, OpenAI's board said Altman "was not consistently candid in his communications" with them but did not provide further details. Altman eventually returned as CEO just days later. Toner said in her interview with Bloomberg on Thursday that she has not "actually interacted" with Altman since his brief ouster from OpenAI. "I'm sure at some point soon we will wind up at the same event. The AI world is pretty small, and I'm sure that we will both be happy to shake each other's hand, but don't have another chance yet so far," Toner said. Representatives for Toner and Meta did not respond to requests for comment from Business Insider. Read the original article on Business Insider Sign in to access your portfolio
