What is Hostaway?

Hostaway is becoming a compliance and finance system that happens to manage channels

Two threads dominate: financial and regulatory plumbing — invoices for every OTA channel including Airbnb, granular financial-data permissions, a two-step checkout with new payment methods and 3D Secure — and guest-facing operations, with a redesigned Inbox, access codes hidden after checkout, and accuracy work on AI CoHost. The analytics board now exports to PDF for owner reporting.

What is Tability?

Tability is building the org graph its AI agents will need to act on.

Tability is an OKR and strategy platform that has spent 2026 turning a plan hierarchy into a queryable graph. The Strategy Map now organises by people as well as plans, the Dependencies Map traverses up to parent context and down through downstream work from any object, and a workspace-wide filtering layer with saved segments sits over goals and initiatives. Running alongside is an agent track: an AI Importer that reads OKR and KPI spreadsheets into reviewable proposals, and AI managers that can be assigned to a goal and must route decisions back through an approval flow.

Hostaway vs Tability: editorial side-by-side

H6.3

Hostaway is becoming a compliance and finance system that happens to manage channels

◆ Current state

Two threads dominate: financial and regulatory plumbing — invoices for every OTA channel including Airbnb, granular financial-data permissions, a two-step checkout with new payment methods and 3D Secure — and guest-facing operations, with a redesigned Inbox, access codes hidden after checkout, and accuracy work on AI CoHost. The analytics board now exports to PDF for owner reporting.

◆ Where it's heading

Invoicing is the through-line: after adding guest billing details in July, Hostaway now covers every channel, which matters most in markets where electronic invoicing is mandatory. Access control is being cut finer across the board, from which financial fields a user sees to when a door code disappears. AI CoHost is being deepened rather than widened — it reads more reservation fields and flags when it is inferring rather than reading.

◆ Prediction

The Guest Portal redesign flagged in the access-code release is the next visible change, and CoHost's reliability work points toward it acting on reservations rather than only answering questions about them.

T7.5

Tability is building the org graph its AI agents will need to act on.

◆ Current state

Tability is an OKR and strategy platform that has spent 2026 turning a plan hierarchy into a queryable graph. The Strategy Map now organises by people as well as plans, the Dependencies Map traverses up to parent context and down through downstream work from any object, and a workspace-wide filtering layer with saved segments sits over goals and initiatives. Running alongside is an agent track: an AI Importer that reads OKR and KPI spreadsheets into reviewable proposals, and AI managers that can be assigned to a goal and must route decisions back through an approval flow.

◆ Where it's heading

The two tracks are converging, and the sequencing tells the story. Delegating goals to AI agents shipped first; the releases since have been building the structure those agents need to reason over — who reports to whom, what depends on what, which slice of a busy workspace a question is actually about. Overflow controls on large maps and a refreshed Initiatives view point at customers with enough plans and people for readability to become the constraint, which is a different buyer than the small-team OKR tool this category started as. Import friction is being attacked from the same direction: an AI-assisted path out of spreadsheets, with review gates before anything is created.

◆ Prediction

Expect the agent features to start consuming the graph the recent releases exposed — dependency-aware and reporting-line-aware agent actions rather than per-goal delegation — and the scheduled-prompt mechanism behind executive summaries to widen into other recurring outputs.
