Hello everyone,
First of all, to all of our Automatebnb users and well wishers: we want to THANK YOU for your support and feedback!
It all started when we, as first-time hosts, forgot to inform our cleaner that led to guests walking into an un-clean place. Being engineers ourselves, we built a solution for ourselves, which is now used by 100s of hosts and property managers. Our intention was not to "build a business" but to truly build something that takes the stress away from hosting and so we kept building it as a hobby project.
It's not a good-bye
We are now embarking on a new (yet ambitious) journey to extend Automatebnb to new heights. Our belief, however remains the same: hosting should not be stressful.
Certainly not in the era where technology is advancing at a lighting speed, yet hospitality operations remain manual, clunky, and fragmented.
And the timing could not be more exciting as AI is enabling us to bring ideas that once seemed like a magical dream, into reality. So this is certainly not a good-bye. Actually, quite the opposite. We are going big!
As a team of product designers and engineers who are hosts ourselves, this era feels like being a kid at a candy store with no restrictions.
Introducing, Gleamly
And that is exactly what we have been doing in the last few months (well, not literally eating candies): building our brand new prototype, powered by AI.

As I mentioned, it’s an ambitious journey and we’re just getting started with it. And just like before, we certainly can not do this without your support, feedback, and ideas.
So, don’t forget to subscribe to our waitlist as we start kicking off user feedback sessions, where one of our founders will show you what's cooking in our product labs and get your candid feedback. After all, our goal is to build something you will love (and can’t stop raving about it!)
Happy Hosting!
