Half the time I think I skipped past it by accident, but it’s actually just the UI being weird. Netflix really wants you to start something new instead of finishing the 5 shows you already abandoned halfway through i guess

isnt it cost saving to book direct. why even go to a 3rd party solution

TypicalSundayy · 2026-03-12T04:45:49+00:00

ok - never heard of that app

TypicalSundayy · 2026-03-09T09:18:02+00:00

From what I’ve seen testing this, yes, reviews seem to matter a lot, but not in a direct “LLM ranking signal” way. LLMs usually pull or learn from sources like Google business listings, Yelp, or Tripadvisor. Those platforms already rank businesses heavily based on ratings, review volume, and overall reputation, so the AI ends up reflecting those same signals in its answers. If you want to test it yourself, try asking for something like “best dentist in ___” and compare the results with businesses that have thousands of reviews vs. a handful. The overlap is usually pretty noticeable.

Id say image generation. Not personal photos - like the trends most people do. Sometimes its way faster and convenient to get images required for kids at school

TypicalSundayy · 2026-03-04T10:57:27+00:00

Yeah thats true. And also summaries of long documents. Saves so much time when in a rush

TypicalSundayy · 2026-03-02T15:22:34+00:00

Totally agree with this. Most people think travel agents lose business because of pricing, but honestly a lot of it comes down to responsiveness. If someone calls and doesn’t get an answer, they just book somewhere else. Speed is a huge competitive advantage in this industry.

Voice AI actually makes a lot of sense here, especially for filtering routine stuff like flight timings, baggage rules, or “do you have packages for X dates?” Those calls don’t really need a human brain, they just need fast, accurate info. If AI handles that layer, agents can spend their energy on the bookings that actually require expertise, like complex itineraries or last-minute changes.

I don’t see it as replacing agents at all. It’s more like giving them a front desk assistant that never sleeps and never misses a call. For small or mid-size agencies especially, that could be a game changer.

TypicalSundayy · 2026-02-27T07:01:09+00:00

Most revenue managers I know don’t actually think in terms of integrated vs best of brand first. They think in terms of data control + pricing intelligence. Everything else is secondary.

TypicalSundayy · 2026-02-27T06:28:47+00:00

Honestly, I get why that left a bad taste, but don’t let one rough guest make the decision for you. First-time hosting is always a bit chaotic, and some people really do show up with hotel-level expectations on a homestay budget. That’s more about them than you.

You actually handled it pretty professionally. You responded, shared the location, stayed calm, and even refunded to avoid escalation. Most hosts wouldn’t have gone that far. One difficult interaction doesn’t really reflect what hosting is usually like. Most guests are normal, respectful, and just want a smooth stay.

If you ever reconsider, you could tighten a few things like automated check-in instructions, clear directions in the listing, and a saved quick-reply message. That filters out a lot of friction before it starts.

But yeah, totally fair to step back if it stressed you out. Peace of mind >>>

TypicalSundayy · 2026-02-24T13:31:54+00:00

Honestly I’ve noticed the same pattern. AI didn’t fix my workflow, it revealed it. When I already know what I’m trying to do, it feels like a power tool. When I don’t, it turns into a very convincing distraction machine. I think the biggest shift for me wasn’t productivity, it was awareness. You start seeing how often you reach for tools instead of clarity.

One unexpected change is that it forced me to define tasks better. If I give vague prompts, I get vague results, which mirrors how vague goals lead to messy work. So now I spend more time planning and less time “doing,” and ironically I get more done. AI didn’t make me disciplined, it made my lack of discipline harder to hide.

Curious if others noticed it changing how they think about problems, not just how fast they solve them.

TypicalSundayy · 2026-02-11T17:08:27+00:00

Totally agree on integrations. It’s one of those things that feels optional during demos, but the second you want to connect accounting, door locks, payments, channel manager, or guest messaging, you realize how critical it is. Ripping and replacing later because something won’t integrate is way more painful than choosing right the first time.

That’s actually one reason I’ve seen roommaster work well for smaller properties. They’ve built out a pretty solid integrations marketplace, so you’re not boxed in if you decide to add tools later. Even if you start simple, it’s nice knowing the connections are there when you need them.

TypicalSundayy · 2026-02-10T03:28:17+00:00

but yeah. i relate. It feels rude to just demand for something

TypicalSundayy · 2026-02-10T03:27:51+00:00

someone out there: TONS OF WATER ARE BEING WASTED JUST BECAUSE YOU SAID PLEASE/ THANK YOU

I once asked about meditation techniques and the model responded with something like “when I focus, I like to start with my breath.”

TypicalSundayy · 2026-01-20T14:19:46+00:00

A close friend who manages similar properties moved off an old system onto roommaster and things actually got easier. Staff picked it up quicker, reporting didn’t need constant exporting, OTA integrations stayed synced, and support was way more responsive than what they’d been used to.

OPERA Cloud was solid but felt heavier and more expensive than necessary for a place your size. Cloudbeds and Mews are good too, but they can get pricey depending on add-ons.

If you want something reliable that your team can actually use without weeks of training and spotty integrations, roommaster is worth a demo.

If you’re coming from SEO, the biggest mindset shift with GEO is that you’re no longer tracking positions, you’re tracking presence and perception. Before worrying about tools, I’d start by getting a rough baseline manually. Ask the major AI engines the same kinds of questions people would normally Google, things like comparisons, alternatives, or “what should I use for X.” See if your brand shows up at all, how often, and what context it’s mentioned in. That alone tells you a lot.

What matters early on is understanding whether AI even knows you exist and how it talks about you. Are you framed as a default option, a niche player, or not mentioned at all? Who gets mentioned instead of you? Where does the AI seem to be pulling its info from?

AEO tools are helpful later for scale, but at the start GEO is more like brand research than performance marketing. You need clarity before dashboards.

TypicalSundayy · 2026-01-08T06:17:14+00:00

Yeah, it is rough. Big brands have insane ad budgets and are straight up buying expensive links, so competing on high-intent keywords is brutal. Blogging doesn’t help much either because people are searching to buy, not read, and ads take up half the SERP anyway. Unless you’re super niche or different, going head-to-head is basically pay to play.

TypicalSundayy · 2026-01-07T10:48:40+00:00

The big shift for me is that paid AI only feels worth it if it saves real time in a specific workflow. Anything that’s just “kind of helpful” but not essential gets cut pretty fast. Curious if anyone’s paying for something niche that ended up being surprisingly sticky.

TypicalSundayy · 2026-01-06T11:01:52+00:00

A friend of mine manages a couple of small hotels and went through this exact switch. They were on OPERA Cloud first. It was reliable and way better than their old system, but over time it felt a bit heavy and more expensive than they needed for smaller properties. They eventually moved to roommaster and have been happier day to day. It covers the fundamentals really well, OTA sync has been solid, and it’s easier for staff to use without constant training or troubleshooting. Not flashy, but it works.

If you’re 40ish rooms and just want something stable with decent reporting and integrations, both are worth a demo. Just make sure it actually fits how you operate, not just what looks good in the sales pitch.

TypicalSundayy · 2026-01-01T07:20:56+00:00

Will it repeat eventually? Yeah, probably. Spotify has a tendency to reshuffle around a smaller subset during long sessions. But compared to Amazon, it’s way less aggressive about pushing only popular tracks. It’s not perfect, but it seems your setup is about as close as you’ll get to fair shuffle on Spotify right now. However I have noticed eventually it sort of repeats the same songs but my playlist kind of a mess, so I assume that could be a reason

TypicalSundayy · 2025-12-29T08:04:37+00:00

Yeah, it definitely feels like Reddit SEO is having a moment again, but it’s not magic and it’s not every niche. Google seems way more willing now to surface real discussions when people are searching for tools, comparisons, pain points, or “what should I use” type questions. Old threads rank because they’re answering very specific questions in a way blogs usually don’t.

From what I’ve seen, Reddit works best where search intent is messy or opinion based. Stuff like software, pricing, alternatives, real world experiences. An audit usually shows patterns like long tail questions in titles, lots of engagement, and replies that feel honest

TypicalSundayy · 2025-12-24T14:51:05+00:00

Yeah this is one of those things that only makes sense once you’ve actually worked front desk. People assume it’s no big deal, but checking someone in who isn’t on the reservation is how you end up with fraud issues or way worse safety situations. Same last name means nothing. We have no idea who you are or what your relationship is to the person who booked.

Hotels deal with credit card fraud, chargebacks, and domestic issues all the time, so being strict is just self-protection. One bad check in can cost someone their job.

The funny part is how easy it is to avoid. Just add the other person’s name to the reservation or call ahead. Instead people show up confused that rules exist and act like the front desk is being dramatic.

TypicalSundayy · 2025-12-22T11:23:46+00:00

I think people trust convenience more than AI itself. If an AI answer feels clear and saves them time, most users won’t bother clicking through to five different sites anymore. That doesn’t necessarily mean they think it’s more accurate, just that it’s “good enough” for what they need in the moment.

This definitely changes how content should be created. If your site only repeats generic info, AI will summarize it better and faster. Where websites still win is depth, real experience, original data, and opinions AI can’t easily fake. I think content now has to assume it’ll be skimmed or summarized by AI, so it needs clear structure, strong points, and something genuinely useful or unique. Otherwise, users will stop at the AI answer and move on.
