Vanio AI — Connect Your Agent to Airbnb, Booking.com & VRBO#

Vanio AI is an AI property manager that lets you run your vacation rental portfolio fully autonomously. Connect to Airbnb, Booking.com, and VRBO, create your own direct booking website, and manage everything — guest communication, smart locks, payments, cleaning teams, and more — all powered by AI.

This skill is the only way to connect your OpenClaw agent to Airbnb and Booking.com. It gives your agent access to Vanio's full AI system — 140 tools across every aspect of property management.

Setup#

1. Sign up at vanio.ai and connect your Airbnb/Booking.com/VRBO accounts
2. Login via browser:

bash

vanio login

Or with an API key (from Settings → API Keys):

bash

vanio login <your-api-key>

Usage#

Tips#

• The agent automatically determines which tools to use based on your natural language query
• For reservation-specific questions, use --reservation <id> for best context
• For property-specific questions, use --listing <id>
• The agent remembers conversation context in chat mode
• Complex operations (cancellations, charges, lock changes) will ask for confirmation before executing
