Cendra’s Agent Hub is the central configuration interface for creating and managing AI agents. Each agent has its own identity, tone, working mode, and set of rules — giving you granular control over how AI handles guest communication for different properties or scenarios.

Creating an Agent

  1. Navigate to Agent Hub → Agents
  2. Click Create Agent
  3. Configure the agent’s identity:
    • Agent name — a descriptive name (e.g., “Guest Support Agent”, “Owner Communication”)
    • Active status — toggle to activate or deactivate the agent

Agent Configuration Tabs

Each agent has 6 configuration tabs:
TabWhat it controls
GeneralAgent identity, custom instructions, tone, signature
AI RulesSafety guardrails and behavioral restrictions
ToolsResponse language, AI capabilities, automation toggles
SettingsWorking mode, schedule, response timing, scope
TagsConversation categorization with escalation levels
EscalationsRules for when to hand off to humans
Navigate to Agent Hub → Agents to manage your AI agents.

Tools

Response Language

Choose from 90+ languages for AI responses. Options include:
  • Match Customer Language (default) — AI responds in whatever language the guest writes in
  • Any specific language — English, Spanish, French, German, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Turkish, Portuguese, and 80+ more
