Jason Cincotta is solving his own problems as a hotel owner and wants to share those learning with others.

Jason Cincotta is a man working his way from the inside of the hotel industry to the outside of travel technology .

Jason is solving problem he and his teams feel personally and intimately everyday.

His business, Kismet is at the cutting edge of helping his fellow hoteliers, especially those special independents, at getting discovered in the new mode of search - AI agents.

In this episode we talk both about the technical side of how that discovery can take place but also what you need to expose about your business to ensure it is a match for the query that started the search in the first place.

This is not just a hotel problem. This is an everyone in travel problem.
