About this venture
HostRelay is a live, pre-revenue SaaS product developed by QTOOF APPS LLC, a US-registered AI automation studio. It helps short-term rental and property management companies improve guest communication and daily operations.
Each property gets a customized AI guest assistant connected to a QR code. Guests scan it and ask questions in their own language about Wi-Fi, check-in, checkout, house rules, appliances, parking, and local recommendations. They do not need to download an app, create an account, or share personal information.
When a guest reports a problem, such as a broken AC, missing towel, or maintenance issue, HostRelay can turn it into a clear, trackable request for the property team.
The product is already built and available at https://hostrelay.app/. It has a free QR guide and paid AI guest desk plans. I am looking for a partner who can help bring the product to short-term rental operators through an existing audience, property management business, agency, community, or sales channel.
This is a strong opportunity to test AI-powered guest operations in a large and growing short-term rental market. The initial partnership can start with a 90-day pilot and revenue sharing, with no equity required upfront. I am open to a deeper long-term partnership after measurable traction.
What they bring
I am Malik Dawwas, a Lead Software Engineer and AI Solutions Builder with experience in SaaS products, AI assistants, APIs, WhatsApp automation, dashboards, and full-stack development.
I bring the existing HostRelay product, the domain, product concept, technical architecture, ongoing development, hosting, bug fixes, product improvements, AI workflow design, and technical support.
I also operate QTOOF APPS LLC, a US-registered AI automation studio focused on practical AI systems, workflow automation, customer messaging, and MVP development.
I can build custom features and integrations based on real partner and customer needs, while keeping the initial pilot focused and easy to launch.
What they need
I am looking for a marketing, distribution, or business-development partner with direct access to short-term rental hosts, Airbnb investors, property managers, holiday-home operators, or hospitality businesses.
The ideal partner may have an existing audience, social media channel, newsletter, online community, property management company, real estate network, or sales channel in this market.
The partner’s main role would be customer discovery, introductions, promotion, demos, and helping secure pilot properties or paying customers. I will handle the product, technical development, onboarding, hosting, and support.
I propose starting with a 90-day pilot based on tracked referrals and recurring revenue share. Equity is not required at the beginning. A deeper partnership can be discussed a
