AI systems for operators

AI handles the transactions.
You handle the interactions.

I'm Nalu. Lonely Pine builds and runs the AI systems that take the transactions off your plate: calls, guest questions, follow-ups, reports. I design them, I ship them, and I'm the one who keeps them running.

Two ways to start

Pick the problem that costs you most.

The AI Receptionist

Every missed call books somewhere else.

$5,000
one-time build + $750/mo to run
  • Answers, books, and routes every call, day and night
  • Built on your menus, rates, and policies - I write the playbook with you, not from a script
  • Connected to your calendar, CRM, and point of sale
Start with the Receptionist
The AI Knowledge Expert

Your best people answer the same questions all day.

$10,000
one-time build + $750/mo to run
  • Trained on your documents, SOPs, and property knowledge
  • Answers guests and staff in chat, email, and on the phone
  • Every question it fields is one your team doesn't
Start with the Knowledge Expert
The third way

Don't buy a system. Hire the seat.

The two systems above each fix one problem. The third option fixes the real one: nobody at your company owns AI.

It's called the Fractional Chief AI Officer seat - one flat monthly engagement where I:

  • Map your AI roadmap and sequence it by payback
  • Design, build, and run every system on it - the Receptionist and Knowledge Expert above are part of the work, not extra invoices
  • Report to you monthly like an executive: numbers, not plumbing

You get a working AI department for less than the cost of a junior hire, with a 30-day out. Every stat on this page shipped from this seat.

How it works

Three steps, no mystery.

01

Strategy call

We map where your business loses revenue to missed calls, slow answers, and manual work. You talk to me, not a sales team.

02

Build

Your first system ships in weeks at a flat price. You approve everything before it goes live.

03

Run

I operate, measure, and improve it every month. You see the numbers, not the plumbing.

Field notes

Recently shipped.

GUEST COMMS

Rebuilt a Maui resort's guest communications: 304 guests since launch, 99.7% got their welcome email before they arrived, and the reviews average 4.68 out of 5.

PHONE LINE

A food truck's phone answers its own orders now: 871 calls in June, 207 robocalls that never reached the owner, and the kitchen never stops to pick up.

MARKETING

A vacation rental manager's bookings are up 30.5% and rent revenue up 20% year over year, with the monthly report that proves it landing in the team's inbox on the first of the month.

KNOWLEDGE

A property management team now asks plain-English questions against hundreds of governing documents and Hawaii statutes, and gets cited answers in seconds instead of an afternoon of digging.

AFTER HOURS

A Maui condo front desk goes home at five. The phone keeps verifying guests and solving lockouts all night, and anyone it can't verify reaches a human in seconds.

About

Built by an operator, for operators.

Nalu Camanse, Founder of Lonely Pine AI

Nalu Camanse

Founder

I spent a decade in enterprise tech watching big companies get tools that small operators never see. So I left, moved from Hawaii to Tokyo, and started building those tools for the businesses that actually run on phone calls and guest questions: hotels, vacation rentals, restaurants, and home services.

Lonely Pine is not an agency with an account manager between you and the work. You get me. Every system we ship is one I operate myself - when something needs fixing, it comes to me, not a ticket queue.
