Resha Shroff is the CEO and founder of Lynx, a hospitality automation technology company that's grown from a startup into a global platform serving thousands of properties. With over fifteen years investing in and operating short term and midterm rentals, plus boutique hotel co-investments, Resha brings a rare, three-sided view of the industry: operator, guest, and technology vendor. In this episode, Lynell and Resha unpack what property managers are getting wrong about AI adoption, starting with the tendency to buy whatever software is marketed as "agentic AI" without understanding what that actually means for their business. Resha breaks down agentic AI as a team of specialized AI agents, not one generic assistant, and makes the case that every AI deployment needs a job description and clear Key Result Areas (KRAs), just like a human hire. She also walks through how she built her own AI executive assistant in Claude, why she recommends operators start their AI journey internally before facing guests, and why honesty with yourself is the real foundation of any AI strategy.
