Arold

Airbnb hosts who spend their evenings answering the same guest questions about check-in, parking and Wi-Fi are the people Arold is built for.

Arold is an Android app and AI response generator that drafts replies to guests so you do not have to type each one from scratch.

The goal is quicker, more helpful answers, which tends to make guests happier and frees up your time for other parts of running a rental.

You can customize it to fit the needs of each listing, so replies reflect the property you actually host rather than a generic template.

That customization has a cost: Arold needs some initial setup before it becomes useful, so expect to put in time on day one.

Because the replies come from AI, you should still read suggestions and edit them now and then, especially for unusual requests or anything sensitive.

The app only runs on Android, so iPhone users are out of luck.

For hosts with a busy inbox and an Android phone, Arold is a practical customer service helper for short-term rentals.
