What Is an LLM (Large Language Model)

Definition

An LLM, or large language model, is a type of artificial intelligence trained on huge amounts of text to understand and generate human language. It learns the patterns of language and uses them to predict and produce coherent text, answering questions, drafting messages, summarizing information, or translating. The models that power ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude are examples of LLMs. They are the foundation of today's generative AI.

For a hotel, an LLM is the engine that lets a conversation with an AI assistant sound natural and grasp what the guest actually means, beyond exact keywords. Instead of rigid, predefined replies, the model interprets intent, keeps track of conversation context, and communicates in many languages. On its own, an LLM doesn't know your hotel's data, which is why it's paired with techniques like RAG to feed it accurate, up-to-date information about your property.

How to leverage it

  • Answers guest questions in natural language across multiple languages, without relying on rigid menus or word-for-word predefined replies.
  • Automatically generates and adapts marketing copy, room descriptions, emails, and welcome messages, saving the team hours of writing.
  • Summarizes reviews, surveys, and conversations to quickly surface patterns in satisfaction or recurring complaints.
  • Provides the foundation for assistants that personalize recommendations and offers based on each guest's profile and context.
