What’s new in Guidebooks V2, and how does it simplify the creation process?
Guidebooks V2 comes with a completely revamped editor and a powerful set of templates designed to make building guidebooks far less tedious. As your property portfolio grows, managing guides for each listing—covering amenities, restaurants, and local attractions—can become overwhelming. This update helps streamline that process by combining AI and Google Places to help you create personalized, location-specific guest guides quickly and easily.
How does the EnsoAI Guidebook Wizard work?
When you want to create something like a restaurant guide, simply click “Get Started” and you’ll launch the EnsoAI Guidebook Wizard. You can refine your search based on categories such as restaurants, parks, museums, shopping, or attractions. You can also add filters like “luxury restaurants” and set a specific radius (e.g., 5 km). The system will then pull the best local options using Google Places data.
What happens after you select your locations?
Once you choose a few spots—like restaurants or attractions—the system automatically generates a full guidebook. This includes ratings, websites, directions, and more, all pre-filled using EnsoAI and Google Places content. The finished guidebook even includes a clickable table of contents, allowing guests to easily navigate through different sections.
Why is this update a game-changer for hosts and property managers?
Creating guest guides has traditionally been one of the more time-consuming parts of setting up a guest experience platform. With this new system, not only is onboarding faster, but day-to-day updates and management become much easier. The editor also supports adding different sections like images, videos, and buttons—making the guidebooks not just easier to build, but also more engaging for guests.
