Finance reports
The AI Agent can answer approved finance questions using Hostaway report data, such as commission by listing, taxes, and guest fees. This helps your team avoid guessing from reservation totals alone. Example questions:- “What was our commission for April?”
- “Show commission by listing last month.”
- “Compare March and April owner fees.”
