Joseph Benjamin liked thisJoseph Benjamin liked thisThe guest experience is often determined by what happens after plans change. Dinner reservations move. A tour time shifts. Transportation runs late. Every hotel concierge knows the drill. Now someone is recreating an itinerary and trying to get it to the guest before they show up at the wrong place at the wrong time. Today, we’re launching Digital Itineraries in Alice Guest Services to fix that. Instead of static PDFs or printed packets, hotel teams now maintain one live itinerary per guest. Update it once in Alice, and the guest sees the latest version instantly through a secure link. No app download. No reprint. No chasing people down. Guests can tap into directions, phone numbers, and activity details directly from the itinerary. It actually becomes useful throughout the stay, rather than something they glance at once and leave on the nightstand. A few things to know about Digital Itineraries in Alice: • Custom-branded with your hotel or brand’s logo, colors, and fonts • Shared via email or SMS in seconds • Auto-expiration and guest authentication built in • Less paper waste This builds on Alice’s concierge solution, rated #1 by hoteliers in the 2026 HotelTechReport.com Hotel Tech Awards. We’re doubling down on the tools that help hotel teams spend less time managing logistics and more time delivering great service. Full details in the press release linked below. Tag someone in the comments who you think would enjoy using this!

Joseph Benjamin liked thisJoseph Benjamin liked thisI like Steven Moore's Five Core Tenets of AI 1. People first: “AI needs to augment, not replace.” 2. Fits into an existing workflow: “Minimize forced process changes.” 3. Human-in-the-loop: “Make sure that humans still have the ability to have the final say.” 4. Iterative: “Don’t expect it to be an easy button that solves everything right away,” and 5. ROI-driven: “Make sure it is tied to a specific metric you are trying to drive, not just for novelty’s sake. Ignoring any one of these will likely lead to disappointing results.”How AI is affecting hotel management and operationsHow AI is affecting hotel management and operations

Joseph Benjamin liked thisJoseph Benjamin liked this𝗔𝗜-𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗥𝗲𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗖𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗽 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗜 𝗦𝗹𝗼𝗽 A few days ago, I found myself debating what actually changed once AI became capable of writing production-level code. The answer was simple: requirements became the new bottleneck. Since then, the team I lead, 10 engineers, mostly senior, has switched to coding almost exclusively through AI. It was the fastest and most radical shift I have seen in my career! The trigger was a real example. One engineer implemented an epic-sized, cross-functional feature across ML, backend, and frontend to achieve functional completeness in a week, working alone. That was not luck. The difference was a carefully written design document and an implementation plan, stored alongside the code as Markdown files. The AI executed strictly against that plan. That discipline defined the success. We had seen this pattern before but never adopted it systematically. That changed when we discovered a structured approach to working with agentic AI: the GitHub Spec-Kit framework. It enforces a workflow that improves output quality by structuring thinking before implementation. https://lnkd.in/gRR8M6Vp The core idea is simple. 𝗔𝗜 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸. It amplifies existing human thinking. The framework itself is a set of agentic skills that force a structured flow. Each step is an explicit CLI command. That structure prevents AI slop. The flow is easy to scale: Define the foundation with /𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘵.𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. Write precise requirements with /𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘵.𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘧𝘺. Design the system with /𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘵.𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯. Break it into concrete technical work with /𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘵.𝘵𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘴. Validate consistency with /𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘵.𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘭𝘺𝘻𝘦. Each step enforces clarity before execution. For details, refer to the documentation or simply try it. At the end, you will have extensive written artefacts living next to the code. Reading and polishing this is a tedious job for senior engineers and product managers; it is not easy. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀, 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗽𝘂𝘁. AI-generated code quality is directly proportional to input quality. Once the groundwork is done, only one command remains. Execute the tasks with /𝘴𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘵.𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵. That is where agentic AI truly shines. Unfortunately, the LinkedIn post size limit forces me to stop here. I will share key findings in the next post. Stay tuned! For now, I will just say this: the results are strong. The technical items we implemented using this approach exceeded expectations! Cheers! PS A huge kudos to Victoria Antonova, who introduced me to this framework in the first place. #ai #programming #softwareengineeringGitHub - github/spec-kit: 💫 Toolkit to help you get started with Spec-Driven DevelopmentGitHub - github/spec-kit: 💫 Toolkit to help you get started with Spec-Driven Development

Joseph Benjamin liked thisJoseph Benjamin liked thisFeb 11th 2001 - exactly 25 years ago - was the first day of a 3-day meeting at the Snowbird ski resort in Utah that gave birth to the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. Like all important documents, most folks who think they know what it says don't appear to have actually read it. There's no mention of "sprints", or "story points", or "user stories", or "build pipelines" or "Kanban boards" or any of the other details of specific Agile methodologies. The Manifesto isn't a "how-to" guide. It's a "why-to" guide. It lays out a set of values and principles for teams who wish to be more responsive to changing user and business needs, through continuous learning and adaptation in a highly people-centric - and especially customer-centric - process. On the front page of the manifesto's website, it states: "We are uncovering better ways of developing software by doing it and helping others do it. Through this work we have come to value: - Individuals and interactions over processes and tools - Working software over comprehensive documentation - Customer collaboration over contract negotiation - Responding to change over following a plan That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more." The values and principles of Agile Software Development describe what it is like to *be* agile (with a small 'a'). We do not "do" agile. We do not "adopt" agile. We do not "implement" agile. We *become* agile. The manifesto itself is, of course, a laudable but compromised attempt to bring multiple iterative and "lightweight" development methodologies - different "brands" - under one banner. One of those brands came to dominate in the minds of software developers. Another came to dominate in the minds of managers and executives, and ultimately came to dominate economically. This was a mistake. "Agile Software Development" is doing software development in an agile way. It's not a management thing. Agile teams are self-organising, because putting decision-making power where (and more importantly, when) decisions need to be made - and therefore understood - is one of the keys to unlocking greater agility. A chain of command almost always becomes a serious bottleneck. The other key message that got lost in translation is the need for strong technical chops. Teams who can't deliver rapidly, reliably and sustainably get micromanaged, and that ends their experiment in agility. Without development teams with strong technical *discipline* who are empowered to make decisions, Agile Software Development becomes little more than Agility Theatre. And that's the reality for the majority of teams today - command-and-control waterfall development wearing an Agile Halloween costume. I recommend reading the manifesto again (or for the first time). Perhaps do it as a team. Maybe talk about how the values and principles could or are helping, and identify where your organisation might just be play-acting
