The Real Power of Our AI Workflow Comes From People - Dina Belon, Staypineapple
Dina Belon, President of Staypineapple, returns for a conversation with our guest experience correspondent, Danica Smith, to share how her team built “Chat Pineapple,” an in-house AI tool that connects guest insights across systems. More important than the technology, Dina says, is the culture that empowers teams to act creatively on that information -- turning surveys, reviews, and guest histories into memorable experiences. You’ll hear what surprised her most about pre-stay guest responses, how the workflow scaled a long-standing culture of surprise and delight, and why the human element is the true driver of personalization in hospitality.
