Mews launches Guest Messaging and Automations
Mews, the hospitality operating system, has launched two native features: Guest Messaging and Automations. Guest Messaging centralizes guest conversations from channels like SMS, WhatsApp, Booking.com, Expedia, and the Mews Guest Portal into a single thread tied to the guest profile. Mews AI, trained on property data, answers 80% of routine questions instantly. Automations is a no-code workflow engine that lets hoteliers automate loyalty moments, such as personalized welcome messages and room upgrades. During beta, 47,000 automations ran, and at selected Strawberry properties, up to 60% of upgrades for Gold & Platinum guests were automated. The features aim to reduce repetitive work for front desk staff and ensure consistent guest experiences.
Relevant to hospitality technology and AI-powered guest engagement, but not directly influencing core AdTech/AdTech infrastructure.

Laytr App Lets You Save Anything Online
Laytr, a new app by indie developer Mostafa Talaat under his company Waitery Inc., offers a read-it-later service that extends to saving any web content, including articles, recipes, screenshots, videos, PDFs, bookmarks, and tabs. The app automatically sorts content types and allows organization into collections called 'cases,' with reminders for saved items. Privacy is a core feature: everything is stored locally and synced via iCloud, requiring no account, and the developer cannot access user data. Laytr imports Pocket exports, easing migration after Pocket's shutdown. The app is free for up to 30 saved items, with Premium pricing at $1.99/month, $14.99/year, or $39.99 lifetime (introductory $24.99). Users can export their entire archive as a ZIP file at any time. Laytr avoids AI features and personalization to maintain privacy.
