Release Notes August 2026

Everything we've launched this month ✏️

Written by Miranda Johnson

Concierge in Messaging
Available: August 26

  • Concierge, Breezeway's AI guest communications agent, is now generally available to all Messaging clients as a paid add-on. It automatically answers reservation-related guest questions using the property and operational knowledge already in Breezeway.
    ​

  • Key benefits:

    • Guests get fast, accurate answers to common questions like Wi-Fi, check-in/check-out, parking, and amenities, any time of day.

    • Teams spend less time on repetitive messages and can focus on higher-value guest interactions.

    • Full visibility into what Concierge learns and why, so trust builds over time.
      ​

  • What's new:

    • Autopilot mode automatically replies when confident, citing its source, and hands off to a human-reviewed suggestion when it isn't.

    • Copilot mode drafts suggested replies for every inbound message, giving teams full control before anything sends.

    • Concierge flags operational issues like leaks, pests, lockouts, and restocks with pre-filled Smart Task suggestions.

    • A new AI Activity Log lets admins and supervisors see what Concierge learned, from where, and undo any learning.

    • An instructions field lets companies set plain-language guidance for how Concierge writes messages.

    • Nicety detection keeps Concierge from replying to non-actionable messages like "thanks!"

    • A configurable response delay (30 seconds to 3 minutes) lets Concierge take in a guest's full message before replying.

    • An EU AI disclosure is automatically added for companies based outside the U.S. and Canada, in line with EU AI Act requirements.

Bulk adding default assignees
Available: August 13

  • Setting default assignees for properties is now faster, with no CSV upload or one-by-one edits required.

  • Key benefits:

    • Save time when onboarding a new team or reassigning properties to a new hire.

    • Manage assignee changes at scale directly from the property list or a user's profile.

  • What's new:

    • Bulk assign from the Properties list: select multiple properties, choose a template or department, and set an assignee for all of them at once.

    • Bulk assign from Manage Users: add or remove a user as the default assignee across multiple properties from their profile.

    • Note: assigning defaults from the list page overrides any previous assignments.

User import and AI role mapping
Available: August 7

  • PMS user import with AI-suggested role mapping is now live for clients with a connected Guesty, Streamline, Track, or Hostaway integration.

  • Key benefits:

    • Clients can bring new hires into Breezeway automatically as they're added to the PMS.

    • AI-suggested roles cut down the manual work of assigning permissions to new users.

  • What's new:

    • Feature now available to all clients with connected Guesty, Streamline, Track, or Hostaway integrations.

    • Users can be imported on an ongoing basis as they're hired or added to the PMS.

Grant access to the devices setting
Available: August 4

  • Admins can now grant supervisors and other office users access to the Devices page without making them full admins.

  • Key benefits:

    • Gives supervisors and office staff the access they need without over-granting admin permissions.

    • Reduces bottlenecks when device requests previously had to route through an admin.

    • Keeps device management flexible as your team structure changes.

  • What's new:

    • A new "Grant access to devices" toggle in Manage users > Person details, alongside the existing Messaging and Inventory management toggles.

    • When enabled, the user gets full access to the Devices page and device settings.

    • The toggle only appears for companies with Devices enabled, and admins keep default access.
