The Episode

Hotels have run revenue management for decades, and now coworking is beginning to use AI powered dynamic pricing to lift conversion, rate, and total revenue.

In this epidode, Caleb & Eyal connect hotel-style revenue management to coworking, discuss why flex office has lagged in hospitality industry best practices, and why ecommerce is the practical on ramp.

Eyal explains how an autonomous pricing agent learns from past data, live conversion, seasonality, and market signals to set prices, and that a 1% price drop correlates with 3% more bookings.

The two go on to cover guardrails, floor and ceiling pricing, why prices vary by day and hour rather than by person, how office pricing is rolling out after meeting rooms and day passes, and what lenders need before financing flex at scale.
