Does this comply with Airbnb’s terms of service?

Yes. Airbnb’s policy explicitly permits “optional apps that facilitate a guest’s experience during the stay” — it names Sonos, Nest, and concierge apps as examples. CohostAI is exactly that: an optional guest-experience app guests open via a link or QR to get instant answers. It doesn’t require payment or property access, and it doesn’t auto-send in your Airbnb inbox — reply drafts wait for your review, so you stay in control of the conversations that matter.

What if my property is in a rural or small town?

We scan up to 10 surrounding zip codes to surface the best restaurants, trails, and gems within driving distance. Most rural hosts get 40+ quality recommendations.

Can I edit or customize what the AI picks?

Yes. Add your own favorites, write host tips, remove places you don’t love, and mark your top picks with a Host Pick badge. Your cohost only answers from what you’ve saved and confirmed.

Will my guests actually use it?

Every guide includes built-in analytics — you’ll see opens, clicks, and which places guests tap on. Most hosts see strong engagement in the first 24 hours after sharing.

Is there a free plan?

You can build, edit, and test CohostAI for free with no credit card. Publishing a guest link or using the live AI cohost requires one paid license per property at $9/month or $79/year; drafts stay saved either way.

What happens if I cancel?

Your cohost and guest guide stay live through the end of the period you’ve paid for. After that the guest link pauses — nothing is deleted, and everything comes back if you resubscribe.

Start from 115 curated places around Raleigh, NC, then choose the recommendations that fit your guests.

Restaurants & cafés

Poole's Downtown Diner
Ashley Christensen's downtown Raleigh diner, the James Beard winner that started the city's serious-restaurant era. Macaroni au gratin, royale burger, and a constantly-rotating chalkboard.

Death & Taxes
Ashley Christensen's wood-hearth steak-and-fire restaurant downtown, in a former bank with a long marble bar. Wood-fired everything and the most consistently expensive seat in Raleigh.

Trails & outdoors

William B. Umstead State Park Sycamore Trail
A 7.2-mile loop in the 5,500-acre state park ten minutes from downtown, following Sycamore Creek through oak-hickory forest. The longest legit hike inside the metro.

Eno River State Park Cox Mountain Trail
A 3.7-mile loop in the Eno River park north of Durham, with a swinging suspension bridge over the river and a moderate climb to Cox Mountain. The classic Triangle hike.

Things to do

North Carolina Museum of Art
A free 164-acre state art museum on Blue Ridge Road, with a 4,000-piece permanent collection spanning 5,000 years and a 164-acre Museum Park with outdoor sculptures and trails. The Triangle's flagship art museum.

North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences
The Southeast's largest natural-sciences museum, with a four-story Nature Research Center wing and live animal exhibits. Free admission and downtown-Raleigh-central.

Landmarks & sights

North Carolina State Capitol
An 1840 Greek Revival capitol at the head of Fayetteville Street, one of the most intact antebellum statehouses in the country. Free self-guided tours and a small museum on the building's nineteenth-century construction.

Dorothea Dix Park
A 308-acre former state-hospital campus south of downtown, turning into the city's central park. Sunflowers in July, the Gipson playground (the largest in the Southeast), and the best skyline view in Raleigh.
