AI agent workforce for hotels and resorts: voice reservations, guest management, back office, sales and marketing
Dextr AI is a San Francisco startup founded in July 2025 by Sajid Shariff (CEO), a former hospitality operator, and Scott Arnold (CTO, ex-Meta). It sells a platform of specialised AI agents for hotels, resorts, reservation centres, vacation rentals and outdoor hospitality: Daisy takes voice reservations and payments, Alfred handles guest requests and contactless check-in, Manny runs staff rostering and back-office work, and Cosmo drives direct bookings and win-back campaigns. Doss, launched with the round, lets any employee direct the agents by text or voice. Dextr forward-deploys AI strategists and engineers into each customer, integrates with PMSs such as Oracle OPERA Cloud, Stayntouch, Cloudbeds and Hostaway, and charges a per-property subscription plus usage fees. It says it handles more than 1M interactions a month across hundreds of properties, including franchised Hilton, Wyndham, Best Western and IHG hotels. In September 2026 it came out of stealth with a $6.7M seed led by Elevation Capital with Foundation Capital, its first institutional money, and plans to expand into India.
