If you want to see some, just have a look on Reddit or other forums. But there is definitely a growing market and capability for AI-enabled tools to learn, guide and automate tier 1 workflows.

Running a short-term rental used to mean juggling a dozen different tasks by hand. Checking messages, updating calendars, adjusting prices, coordinating cleaners, and answering the same guest questions over and over.
