Interesting usecases Dr Jayanthi. I'm curious at which point do you send these replies to your guests? Did you saved them as "saved replies" in the AirBnB messenger or do you generate more personalized responses per each new guest.

Interestingly enough, I've been pondering around similar ideas recently and have created a browser extension to quickly generate guest-specific responses - it is called SnappyReply [.com] can check it here https://snappyreply.com 

Wondering if any of your prompts could be included in my software as "alternative replies"?

Thanks again for a cool AI-related article!

[Dr-Jayanthi1]

I use them as saved replies. I shall try yours and get back. Thank you for sharing.
