A multilingual AI assistant is described as available around the clock to answer questions and help manage reservations. Listed integrations include Google Analytics, Google Tag Manager, Meta Pixel, Excel, Google Sheets, BI/ML tools, and a public API, alongside POS, inventory, loyalty, and hotel booking systems. Businesses can manage multiple locations centrally with role-based access. Anolla lists Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows access, a free plan, and a 30-day trial without credit card details.
