RecommendationHyatt uses AI and machine learning to analyze guest data collected through the World of Hyatt loyalty program — including stay history, stated preferences, and behavioral signals — to deliver personalized hotel recommendations, offers, and experiences across its digital channels and on-property.Data AnalysisHyatt uses AI to automatically review contact center interactions — such as calls and chats — for quality assurance, replacing the previous process in which human quality analysts manually listened to a sample of recorded calls. The system allows the quality team to cover a far larger share of interactions and redirect staff attention to cases that require human judgment.Customer SvcHyatt uses an AI-powered agent assist tool in its contact centers that listens to live guest calls and automatically prompts human agents with relevant information in real time — for example, surfacing the pet policy when a guest mentions bringing a dog. The tool keeps human agents in the loop while helping them deliver faster and more personalized responses.
