Using an AI Assistant to Manage Your Stay

You can let your own AI assistant — ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI tool that supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — read and update your Nomad Stays listing on your behalf. Once connected, you can ask your AI assistant to change your description, update prices, add photos, tweak amenities, and more, in plain English, without logging into the admin dashboard yourself each time.

This article covers what your AI assistant can do, in two parts:

  1. What you can do with an AI agent
  2. Common updates, step by step

1. What you can do with an AI agent

Your AI assistant can do almost everything you can do yourself on your Stay’s admin pages — reading your current listing and making changes on your behalf, scoped only to Stays you’re part of. It cannot see or touch anyone else’s listing, and it can never access sensitive account details like bank or tax information — those are permanently off-limits to any AI tool.

Every team member has the same access. Whether you’re the Stay Owner, a Manager, or Staff, your AI assistant can use exactly the same tools — there’s currently no reduced or read-only mode for any team role. Anyone you’ve added to your Stay team should treat their AI assistant connection with the same care as their login password.

In practice, your AI assistant can help with:

  • Listing details — view and update your Stay’s title, description, and general information
  • Availability — check availability by month, find the nearest available dates, and look up availability for a specific room
  • Rooms — add, update, or remove rooms; set bed sizes, room facilities, and room descriptions
  • Photos — upload new photos (main listing or individual rooms), delete existing ones, and reorder your photo gallery
  • Prices and packages — create, update, or delete pricing packages (7/14/21/30-night rates)
  • Amenities and facilities — update amenities, room facilities, and facility groups for your Stay
  • Property details — address, check-in/out policy, cancellation policy, and pet/children/parking rules
  • Contact details — the public-facing contact information shown on your listing
  • Business profile — your business name and registration details (never bank or tax information)
  • Organisational data — internal reference and structural details tied to your Stay account
  • Applications — start, check, save progress on, and submit new Stay, Experience, or Coworking listing applications
  • Look-up/reference data — countries, currencies, cancellation policies, amenities, room types, and other dropdown options used elsewhere in your listing

What it can’t do: your AI assistant can’t approve itself for anything an admin normally has to review, and some fields (like whether your listing is publicly approved/”Listed”) stay admin-controlled, exactly as they are today when you edit your listing yourself. It also has no access to banking, tax, or other sensitive financial information under any circumstances.


2. Common updates, step by step

Once connected, just describe what you want in plain English — you don’t need to know any special commands. Here are some examples for common tasks.

Updating your description

“Update my Stay’s description to mention our new rooftop workspace.”

Adding a photo

“Add this photo to my main listing gallery: [paste a link to the photo]”

Photos need to meet the same minimum size — most areas require at least 1920×1080 pixels (landscape), and the host profile photo requires at least 1080×1920 (portrait).

Reordering your photo gallery

“Move my third listing photo to the front.”

Changing amenities

“Add Air Conditioning and remove Pool from my Stay’s amenities.”

Updating a room

“Update the description for my ‘Double Room’ to mention the new balcony, and add a King bed size.”

Adding a new pricing package

“Create a new 7-night package for my Double Room at €120 per week.”

Note: your sell price is still set by us — you don’t set it directly. You still tell us your wholesale price (the price you expect to receive), the same way pricing works when you edit it yourself in your Stay admin pages.

Checking availability

“What’s my nearest available date for the Double Room?”

Updating your cancellation policy

“Change my cancellation policy to ‘Flexible.’”

Updating contact details

“Update my booking contact email to reservations@example.com.”


Need help?

If your AI assistant doesn’t seem to be reading or updating your Stay correctly, first check that it’s still connected under Connected AI agents on your Stay profile page. If the issue persists, contact us via the usual WhatsApp or Contact Us page and we’ll assist you if possible. Please note that AI agents are constantly changing and their menus and processes may change.
