Glossary
What is an AI channel manager?
An AI channel manager keeps rates, availability, and restrictions in sync across OTAs and recovers failed updates before guests see them. It is a distribution specialist on the hotel stack — not a synonym for an OTA brand.
Why it matters
Distribution fails quietly until guests see the wrong rate. Parity watch and recovery workflows protect direct and OTA integrity.
