The platform where short-term rentals run themselves
Trellis is building toward a new hospitality platform: one that does not just help guests find homes, but actually operates them with agents. Our first wedge is short-term rental property managers, replacing their fragmented stack across guest messages, tasks, cleaners, maintenance, vendors, and owner updates with agents that run operations end-to-end. In two months, we’ve grown to $500k ARR across 35 customers and 3000 listings, growing around 15% week over week, with one customer already running day-to-day operations with no human involved.
Trellis provides AI agents that automate vacation rental operations, handling guest communications, team coordination, and day-to-day tasks across a property management tech stack. The system works end-to-end from guest inquiry to checkout to run operations on autopilot.
AI agents monitor and respond across guest channels (Airbnb, VRBO, WhatsApp, email), coordinate cleaning, inspections, and maintenance, and execute end-to-end workflows from booking to review. The platform integrates with 200+ tools and acts across the PMS, OTAs, messaging, scheduling, and business apps, enabling autonomous execution of tasks, claims filing, pricing adjustments, and owner/guest updates with minimal human intervention.
Who it’s for: Vacation rental operators managing 100+ units (and larger), property managers seeking autonomous operation across multi-tool tech stacks.

Hi, I’m Lodo. I believe the next decade of software belongs to systems that grow around you, not tools you adapt to. Static SaaS is dying. The future is AI-native software that learns, builds, and evolves with every customer. I’m building that future for hospitality with Trellis: an AI-native operating system that learns how each operator runs, then builds the workflows and nterfaces needed to execute the business. We don't sell software with AI, we sell AI that builds your software
Heyyy, I am Jan and with my AI genius co-founder Lodo we're building the future of hospitality tech. SaaS is dead so we're giving Property Managers a digital copy of their company that builds and runs itself.
Run all your operations end to end across every tool in your stack.
