Multiple systems. No single picture. Systems don’t talk to each other. The data is there. Decisions still run on gut feel. Staff lose hours building reports by hand.

So I start with a map

  • 01Map every system you run
  • 02See what each system does well and where it falls short
  • 03Read the org chart and how departments connect
  • 04Hear what leadership wants
  • 05Spot AI and automation opportunities

Then I build

  • 01Bring the data into one place, in one format
  • 02Adjust it where your property works differently
  • 03Add the modules that pay off
  • 04Plug in AI where it helps
  • 05Test, then roll out in stages

One control room

  • One control room, a view for every role
  • Data that talks. Decisions on facts.
  • Staff focus on guests and business, not reports
  • Guest preferences, part of daily operations
  • KPIs that matter to your business

About me

Kirill Shmelev

I started on the floor, carrying room-service trays at 18, and moved abroad on my own at 19. Sales came next: four months without a single deal, then it worked. Since then I have run the commercial side of hotels, real estate companies and a booking platform across Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

Two things came out of that start. I tell people the truth, the CEO included, even when it is the last thing they want to hear. And I stay calm when things go wrong: that is usually when people start trusting me.

What I cannot walk past is work nobody questions: reports nobody reads, people doing what a machine could do, targets that mean nothing to the business.

Bring me a problem. I will find where it starts, how to fix it, and who should fix it with me.

Away from work there are two kids, a fishing rod and a sourdough starter that needs feeding.

Services

Automations & integrations01//Book a call

Automations for the routine your team does by hand

I build them around your tasks. Some connect to the systems you already use, others run on their own.

One board for owner, GM and commercial lead

Every system and data source in one place: PMS, channel manager, RMS, CRM, reviews, finance and more. It runs on your company’s own AI account, and guest personal data is removed before AI sees it.

An AI system that works the way you do

It learns how you work and what you care about. You stop explaining the same thing a hundred times, and it becomes an extension of you.

Discovery session

Two to three hours with you and the people who run your systems. You get a written map: what you have, where money leaks, where I would start.

Project based

A build scoped to your task: a control room, an automation or a set of modules. Scope and price come out of the discovery session.

Answers to your questions

How long until the system works?

The discovery session takes two to three hours. After that it depends on how your systems can be reached: a module on an API goes in faster than one on weekly exports. You get the plan and dates with the written map.

Do I have to replace my systems?

No. Everything reads from the systems you already run. Branded and franchise hotels run fully on the exports they already receive.

Who from my team needs to be involved?

During discovery I work with your IT lead and the people who run each system. They know where the data breaks.

Where does our data go, and who can see it?

It stays on a hotel machine or your own cloud server. Guest data is depersonalised there before anything reaches the AI model, and the account is in your name.

Do you work remotely?

Yes. I work remotely or on site, worldwide.

What do I need to know to use a personal AI system?

Nothing technical. I set it up, you talk to it in plain language, and you get a runbook for everything it does.

What happens if we stop working together?

Everything keeps running. The code, documentation and runbook sit in your repository, and anyone who works with AI tools can pick it up.
