How CandidHQ works

Your data, your rules, your proposals. The AI is the engine. Your knowledge base is the fuel. Nothing is hallucinated.

1

The problem

Every inquiry means hours of manual work. Checking spreadsheets, cross-referencing rates, building documents, calculating costs. And when the client asks for a revision, you start over.

CandidHQ automates the first draft. Your team reviews, edits, and sends. The boring parts are handled. The expertise stays yours.

2

Built for your industry

Same architecture, different data. We swap the knowledge base and branding to match your operation.

Bespoke Travel

Hotels, tours, transfers, restaurants. AI builds itineraries from your supplier rates.

Tour Operators

Multi-day packages, group logistics, seasonal pricing. AI handles the complexity.

Golf & Sports Travel

Courses, tee times, accommodation pairings. Real-time availability from your data.

Recruitment

Candidates, job specs, rate cards. AI matches and generates proposals.

Mortgage Brokers

Lender products, rates, criteria. AI matches clients to suitable products.

Property

Listings, valuations, local amenities. AI generates reports and schedules.

3

Your knowledge base

Every hotel, activity, restaurant, transport route, and price lives in a structured database that you control. The AI can only recommend what's in your knowledge base. Change a price, the next proposal uses the new price.

What's stored

Hotels with rates, activities with pricing, restaurants with cost per person, transport routes with times and costs, seasonal availability, dress codes, booking lead times.

How it's different from ChatGPT

ChatGPT guesses from training data. CandidHQ reads from YOUR data. If a hotel isn't in your knowledge base, the AI cannot recommend it. Period.

4

Three sources keep it current

Your knowledge base stays up to date through three automated channels. No manual data entry.

A

Website scraping

Automatically reads supplier websites for price changes, availability updates, and new offerings. Runs weekly.

B

Email inbox monitor

Parses rate sheets and availability updates from your suppliers' emails. No manual forwarding needed.

C

Supplier outreach

Automatically emails suppliers who haven't updated recently. Requests current rates and availability on your behalf.

5

Business rules engine

Your expertise is encoded as rules the AI must follow. Pairings, constraints, seasonal logic, pricing rules. The AI does not guess. It follows your rules.

[PAIRING] Amalfi Coast boat tour always pairs with coast accommodation [CONSTRAINT] Uffizi Gallery closed Mondays, never schedule Monday [SEASONAL] Truffle hunting only October to December [PRICING] Groups of 8+ get 10% discount on transport [PREFERENCE] Luxury clients get Michelin-starred dinner recommendations

Editable in the admin panel. Add, remove, or modify at any time.

Constrained AI generation

When an inquiry arrives, the system injects the full knowledge base into the AI prompt with strict instructions: use ONLY the provided data. No invention. No estimation.

Transparent AI reasoning

For every decision, the AI explains why. What it chose, which knowledge base entry it referenced, and what alternatives it considered.

1

Constrained AI

Can only select from your knowledge base. No hallucinated hotels, no invented prices.

2

Transparent reasoning

Every decision shows why it was made and which KB entry it used. Team verifies before sending.

3

Team edit & flag

Inline editing lets your team change any detail. Flag buttons capture issues. Nothing ships without sign-off.
