HostAI rebranded to Conduit and now sells AI agents for hotels and short-term rentals in packages priced per unit. Trellis is built for vacation-rental management companies: agents answer guests and run the field and office work behind every conversation. Managers consolidating per-unit packages replace them with the single Trellis plan, which includes voice, the guest portal, and field operations.

Every package carries a monthly credit allowance, so agent usage is metered on top of the per-unit price.
conduit.ai/pricingTasks, workforce, scheduling, and dispatch are in the Full Suite package at $48 per unit per month, not in Messaging or Guest.

It starts with a demo. There is no self-serve signup or free trial; onboarding begins with a call.
One plan from $749.99 a month, priced for management companies. Below about 20 units the math rarely works.
A separate one-time onboarding fee, quoted on the call.
Autopilot is earned per channel. Expect to run on suggestions first while the agent learns your properties.
Three steps, done with you during onboarding.
Reservations, properties, and guest threads sync on connection. Nothing in your system changes.
House rules, property notes, and the answers HostAI (Conduit) already gives move into the Trellis knowledge base during onboarding.
Agents draft first. You switch a channel to autopilot once the drafts are right, one channel at a time.

“I haven't had to use the inbox in weeks.”
“Agents are going to increase hospitality output.”
Yes. HostAI rebranded to Conduit, and hostai.app now resolves to conduit.ai. The comparison on this page uses Conduit's current published pages.
Yes. Calls land in the same Trellis inbox as Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, WhatsApp, SMS, and email, with the reservation and property attached.
Connect your property management system, move your house rules and property notes into the Trellis knowledge base during onboarding, and run agents on suggestions until each channel earns autopilot. HostAI can stay connected while you compare drafts.
Yes. Agents draft replies and hand anything unsure to a person by default. You turn on autopilot one channel at a time, and you can keep specific properties on suggestions only.
Not a self-serve one. Trellis starts with a demo call, and billing does not start until AI autopilot reaches 70% accuracy on your account. Onboarding is a separate one-time fee quoted on the call.
