# Dex AI Quick Start Guide

## Your Guide to Getting the Most from Key Data Dashboard's AI Capabilities

### **What is Dex AI?**

Dex AI transforms how you interact with your vacation rental data by providing intelligent insights and natural language analysis across three powerful features:

1. **AI Performance Breakdown** (Home Page) - Automatic insights when you log in
2. **Conversational AI** (Individual Reports & Dashboard Templates) - Ask questions using natural conversation language
3. **DexAI Studio** (Dashboard Creator) - Build custom dashboards using natural language

---

#### **Feature 1: AI Performance Breakdown (Home Page)**

**What It Does:** Automatically analyzes your portfolio and delivers insights in three sections:

- ✅ **What's Working** - Your strengths and outperformers
- ⚠️ **Needs Attention** - Gaps and opportunities
- 💡 **Next Moves** - Specific, actionable recommendations

**How to Use It:**

- Review the breakdown every time you log in
- Click specific properties or metrics to explore details
- Use the "Share Insights" button to email the summary to your team

**Pro Tip:** The AI updates twice daily after your dashboard data sync refreshes, so check back for fresh insights.

---

 

#### **Feature 2: Conversational AI (Individual Reports & Dashboard Templates)**

**What It Does:** Lets you ask questions about any individual report or a whole dashboard template in natural language.

**Great Questions to Ask:**

**Comparative Analysis:**

- "Compare my ADR to market average for 3-bedroom properties"
- "Which bedroom sizes are performing best vs. last year?"

**Trend Identification:**

- "What's driving my RevPAR increase this quarter?"
- "Show me occupancy trends for November through March"

**Specific Investigations:**

- "Which properties have the largest gap between my rates and market rates?"
- "What percentage of my revenue comes from properties in \[location\]?"

**Actionable Insights:**

- "What pricing adjustments would close the gap on underperforming 2-bedroom units?"
- "Which properties should I prioritize for promotions this month?"

---

#### **Feature 3: Dex AI Studio (Dashboard Creator)**

**What It Does:** Build custom dashboards by describing what you want to see using common language.

**Example Prompts:**

**Basic Dashboard:** "Create a dashboard showing my top 10 revenue-generating properties with ADR, occupancy, and RevPAR"

**Comparative Dashboard:** "Build a dashboard comparing my 2BR, 3BR, and 4BR inventory performance with market benchmarks for Q4"

**Performance Tracking:** "Create a dashboard tracking weekly booking pace for my coastal properties vs. last year"

**What to Include in Your Request:**

- Which properties/segments to analyze
- Which KPI metrics to display (ADR, RevPAR, Occupancy, Revenue, etc.)
- Time period (last 30 days, YTD, vs. last year)
- Any comparisons (vs. market, vs. property segments)

---

### **Common Mistakes to Avoid**

| **❌ Don't Do This** | **✅ Do This Instead** |
| --- | --- |
| "Tell me about my properties" | "Show me properties with declining bookings in the last 60 days" |
| "Is this good?" | "My ADR is $285. How does this compare to the market average for 3BR properties in my area?" |
| Asking one question and stopping | Build a conversation - ask follow-ups, request clarification, dig deeper |
| "Compare performance" (no details) | "Compare my November occupancy to November last year by bedroom type" |

 

---

### **Getting Started with Custom Prompting: The 3 Keys to Success**

### **1. Be Specific**

**Instead of:** "Show me performance"  
**Try:** "Show me my 4-bedroom properties with occupancy below 60% in the last 30 days"

### **2. Provide Context**

**Instead of:** "Why is revenue down?"  
**Try:** "My revenue dropped 15% in March compared to last year. What factors contributed to this decline?"

### **3. Ask Follow-Up Questions**

Dex AI remembers your conversation. Build on previous questions to dig deeper.

---

### **Tips for Power Users**

### **Get More Specific Over Time**

Start broad, then narrow:

1. "Show me underperforming properties"
2. "Filter for properties with occupancy below market"
3. "Of those, which have ADR above market?"
4. "What's the recommended pricing strategy for these?"

### **Use Timeframe Comparisons**

- "vs. last year same period"
- "vs. last month"
- "vs. market in the last 90 days"

### **Request Specific Formats**

- "Show this as a table"
- "Create a chart comparing these three metrics"
- "Rank these properties by revenue performance"

### **Ask for Explanations**

- "Why is this property underperforming?"
- "What's driving this trend?"
- "Explain the factors behind this gap"
