Valley O'Ville Operations Assistant

A booking assistant the staff talk to in Telegram, in ordinary English or Taglish, that files the paperwork for them.

The situation

Every booking meant touching three different Google tools by hand — a row in a spreadsheet, an entry in the calendar, a folder in Drive. It was slow, easy to forget a step, and impossible to do properly while a guest was standing at the desk.

What I built

Staff now message the resort's Telegram bot the way they would message a colleague — "book the Alcantara family, 2 nights from Friday". The assistant works out what is being asked, files the record, creates the calendar entry, and opens the guest folder. It handles new bookings, cancellations, changes and questions, and asks for the missing piece instead of guessing when a message is incomplete.

Ongoing since February 2026, built and maintained alongside my role running the resort — so it was designed against the real workflow, not a guess at one.

What it lets people do

  • Make a booking by typing a normal sentence, in English or Taglish
  • Cancel or change an existing booking the same way
  • Ask about upcoming bookings without opening a spreadsheet
  • Get prompted for anything missing, rather than a silent half-saved record

Under the hood

The tools this is built with. You do not need to know any of them to use it — open one if you are curious what it does.

If you're considering working together

How a project actually goes

No jargon, no long contract to decode, and no stage where you are asked to approve something you cannot picture.

  1. 01

    We talk about the problem

    Not the software — the problem. What is slow, what gets forgotten, what people keep having to redo by hand. Usually one call is enough to see the shape of it.

  2. 02

    I write down what I heard

    In plain language, before any building starts, so you can correct me while it is still cheap to correct. You approve it or you don't.

  3. 03

    You see it early and often

    Working pieces, not screenshots or promises. If something is wrong, you say so while there is still time to change it.

  4. 04

    It goes live and stays supported

    Hosting, domain and setup handled. The Valley O'Ville site has been running since 2023 — I don't disappear after launch.
