Insights from FLYR Hospitality integrates AI into your analytics experience to simplify your workflow, uncover strategic opportunities, and communicate findings with confidence. It’s not just a technical tool—it’s a problem-solving partner designed to help you move faster and think more strategically, whether you're deep in data or answering questions on the fly.

What You Can Do with AI in Insights

AI is embedded in two key areas of your workflow—helping you build queries, generate calculations, create visualizations, and summarize findings. Together, these capabilities reduce time spent on manual work and unlock insights that drive better decisions.


AI Query Helper: Your Conversational Data Analyst

The AI Query Helper transforms data exploration and dashboard creation into a simple conversation. Whether you’re responding to a spontaneous question or designing a multi-tab dashboard, this assistant helps you build the exact query you need—faster and without the guesswork.

🧠 Ask Questions in Plain Language

Use everyday language to start your query:

  • “Show ADR and Revenue by segment for July compared to last year.”

  • “Which room types had the highest pick-up last week?”

  • “Display RevPAR and Occupancy by property for the next 90 days.”

The AI selects the right metrics, filters, and dimensions to generate your results—no need to know field names or query syntax.

➕ Add and Modify with Ease

You can iteratively refine your query as your needs evolve:

  • “Add cancellation rate and revenue share.”

  • “Break this down by channel instead of segment.”

  • “Change the comparison to same time last year.”

Behind the scenes, the AI dynamically updates your query logic—so you stay focused on the question, not the structure.

🧮 Create Custom Calculations

The AI Query Helper can also generate powerful calculations during the conversation. You can request totals, variances, ratios, or shares on the fly—without manually writing formulas.

Examples include:

  • “Show revenue share by room type.”

  • “Add a column for year-over-year variance in RevPAR.”

  • “Highlight dates where occupancy dropped below 60%.”

These dynamic calculations are built directly into your query results, saving time and allowing you to dig deeper without leaving the conversation. It’s a fast, flexible way to sharpen your analysis and build more meaningful dashboards.

📊 Build Dashboard-Ready Queries

Each interaction creates a workbook tab, forming the foundation for your dashboard visualizations. Once your query is ready, you can immediately visualize it as a table, bar chart, or another chart type. You can also request a specific format right in your prompt:

  • “Show this as a stacked column chart by month.”

  • “Pivot the table to show channels across columns and KPIs down rows.”

AI Summary Chart: Turn Data Into Instant Understanding

The AI Summary Chart is a narrative visualization option that helps your team instantly understand the story behind the data. Rather than scanning rows or interpreting charts, stakeholders get a concise, written summary of the most important findings—directly within the dashboard.

This chart type is especially useful when:

  • You need to present data to executive stakeholders without time for deep analysis

  • You want to call out key takeaways from a dense or detailed table

  • You’re aiming to make dashboards more self-explanatory for broader audiences

Each summary includes a headline insight, key trends, and notable anomalies. And like any visualization, it dynamically updates as your filters or data change—keeping the narrative current and aligned.

🎯 Tailor the Summary to Your Audience

Use the Additional Context input to focus the summary on specific patterns or objectives. For example:

“Create a detailed, analytical summary of the property's performance compared to the previous period. Highlight notable trends and any data anomalies. Conclude the summary with an ‘Actions to be Taken’ section clearly outlining areas needing further investigation. Use precise, professional language and support statements with numerical data.”

This allows you to match tone, focus, and depth to your audience—whether you're presenting to analysts, operators, or executives.


Why It Matters—Across Every Role

AI in Insights adds value no matter your role or level of expertise:

  • Revenue Managers & Analysts get faster answers and smarter queries, freeing up time for strategic thinking.

  • Regional and Corporate Leaders receive clear, digestible narratives to align teams and monitor trends across properties.

  • Executives & Stakeholders gain immediate visibility into performance without needing to dig through data.

Whether you're building, exploring, or presenting, AI supports every step—saving time, improving clarity, and helping you act with confidence.
