Strait provides a booking channel that enables hotels to receive direct reservations initiated through AI assistants and trip planners. The platform connects AI-driven guest interactions—such as those with ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Perplexity—directly to a hotel’s property management system (PMS), bypassing online travel agencies (OTAs) and their associated commission structures. This approach ensures that bookings, guest preferences, and payments are transmitted straight to the hotel, preserving the direct relationship between guest and property.
The service is designed for hotels, particularly boutique and independent properties using PMS providers like Mews, Apaleo, or Cloudbeds. Strait integrates with these systems to deliver reservations in the same format as bookings from the hotel’s own website, requiring no new operational dashboards or processes. Guest preferences captured during the AI conversation, such as dietary needs or room location, are structured and included with the reservation, allowing hotels to personalize the guest experience more effectively than traditional OTA bookings.
Strait’s pricing model charges a seven percent commission, but only after the guest has completed their stay. There are no setup fees, exclusivity requirements, or charges for cancellations and no-shows. Payments are settled directly to the hotel through its existing processor, and hotels retain control over rates, policies, and guest relationships. The service emphasizes that it does not act as a merchant of record or intermediary in the guest relationship—unlike OTAs, it passes through the real guest details, payment information, and preferences.
Currently, Strait supports integration with Mews, Apaleo, and Cloudbeds, with additional PMS connections planned based on hotel demand. The company is working closely with early hotel partners as it expands its reach. Strait positions itself as a new class of booking channel specifically for reservations that originate within AI-powered conversations, aiming to provide hotels with more control and a lower-cost alternative to traditional OTA channels.
In the API design, testing & docs space, getstrait takes a focused approach. It focuses on simplifying hotel booking integration for AI agents and developers via a Python SDK and API. It is built as an open-source project for ai agent developers. getstrait is open source under the MIT license. It runs on the web, the command line, and API.
It is developed by getstrait, and the product first shipped in 2026. PulseGate's similarity index finds few close equivalents — getstrait occupies a relatively distinct niche. Key capabilities include hotel booking API, Python SDK, and agent integration. It exposes integrations via a public API and an MCP server.
