The CallSphere Hotel Stack: 11 Agents That Run a Property End-to-End

TL;DR

CallSphere's hotel platform ships 11 specialist AI agents built on OpenAI Agents SDK + Realtime API. They handle every guest-facing conversation — reservations, check-in, housekeeping, group sales, night audit — with deep PMS integration.

Why 11 Agents, Not One

A single monolithic agent "doing everything" collapses under load. It hallucinates rate quotes, forgets cancellation policies, and can't cleanly escalate. CallSphere uses hierarchical handoffs between narrow specialists, each with its own tools and guardrails.

How They Work Together

A guest calls at 2 AM asking about a wedding block for next June. Flow:

1. Concierge identifies intent: group sales
2. Hands off to Group Sales Agent with full context
3. Group Sales checks block inventory, drafts proposal
4. Notifies DOSM by email with transcript + next steps
5. After hours, hand back to Night Audit for immediate booking needs

All 11 agents share the same guest profile, PMS state, and conversation history.
