The Modern Hotelier

#176: Inside Hospitality's Virtual Technician | with Will Gilbert


Listen Later

Today, we sit down with Will Gilbert, co-founder of Bodhi, a groundbreaking platform transforming hotel operations through AI, automation, and integration.

With over 25 years of system integration experience, Will shares how Bodhi acts like a virtual technician, working 24/7 to ensure every device in a hotel—regardless of brand—is functioning flawlessly. From a universal guest app that requires no downloads to a powerful AI "Super Agent" processing hundreds of thousands of data points every second, Bodhi is solving problems hotels didn’t even know they had.

We dive into:

  • The challenges of integration and how Bodhi stays one step ahead
  • How AI is actually being used—no fluff, just function
  • The power of real-time data across lighting, HVAC, locks, and PMS systems
  • Their new innovations debuting at HITEC (hint: three layers of AI!)
  • Why the guest experience starts before they even speak up
