AI photo comparison and check-in checks

Guest details and photos. Checked in one place.

Superhostem flags obvious nonsense in guest details, checks addresses for clear contradictions and compares the lead guest’s photos. Mistral AI handles photo comparison; AI reviews submitted text. Your team sees what needs attention in Guests and in the reservation.

From photos to host review

Photos are ready

The lead guest provides a selfie and a portrait extracted from the document.

AI-generated photos of a fictional guest. The assessment is illustrative; AI supports the host’s review and does not establish identity.

Three checks. One host workflow.

Review entered details, citizenship read from the document and guest photos. Each check has its own purpose and result.

Guest data

Spot obvious nonsense before it spreads

AI and local rules flag placeholders, malformed contacts and addresses that clearly contradict the selected country of residence. Different citizenship and residence countries are valid.

Private warning
OCR citizenship

Compare the reading with the saved value

When a reliable citizenship reading is available from Mistral OCR for the same document, an exact comparison flags a different saved citizenship. The issuing country is not used as citizenship. OCR errors can be accepted after review.

Host checks the difference
AI photo comparison

Selfie versus document portrait

Mistral AI compares the lead guest’s two photos. The host receives the assessment and reviews uncertain results.

A warning you can act on

Guests carries a persistent count of unresolved data warnings. Open a warning for quick review, or use Detail → AI review to return to the findings.

Where you find the result

From a warning to the detail that needs checking

See the submitted form with each flagged value highlighted and explained beneath its field. Correct the data or mark it acceptable. Opening the form alone does not clear the warning.

Photo comparison with Mistral AI
Mistral AI compares the lead guest’s selfie with the document portrait. The result helps the host review the photos; it does not prove identity.

European technology behind your photo checks

For document reading and photo comparison, we chose Mistral, a French AI specialist. These images are processed through its European regional service.

How we handle the data

Our Mistral OCR and photo-comparison requests use Mistral’s EU regional endpoint, with no automatic fallback to the global endpoint. Mistral documents infrastructure in EU and EFTA countries for this service.

This concerns model processing, not a guarantee for all storage. Mistral states default EU hosting, while allowing some transfers and operational metadata outside the region. Superhostem’s application storage and retention are separate.

Text checks are a separate AI feature. Mistral’s European regional processing applies to document OCR and photo comparison, not to text review.

Questions about AI checks

What is automatic, who sees the result and when your team steps in.

Does a matching result prove identity?

No. AI photo comparison assists the host. It neither guarantees identity nor proves fraud when a comparison is uncertain. The host can inspect both images and record a manual review.

Can the guest see the AI result?

No. The verdict, confidence and explanation are available to the host below the reservation guest list. The guest sees the photo-capture flow.

Are all check-in checks powered by AI?

No. Form rules check required fields and invalid values. OCR reads the document number. AI photo comparison is a separate optional feature using Mistral AI through the EU regional endpoint.

How long are verification photos kept?

Verification photos are automatically deleted no later than one calendar month after the first upload. Guests and authorised staff can remove them earlier. The assessment may remain visible in the reservation after the photos expire.

Does a different citizenship or residence country trigger a warning?

No. People can live in a different country from their citizenship. Address review uses the selected country of residence. The OCR check compares only saved citizenship with an explicit, reliable citizenship reading from the same document; it does not substitute the issuing country.

Where do I find data warnings, and how do I clear them?

The Guests navigation badge and guest-row warning lead to review. Findings are also in Detail → AI review and below the reservation guest list. Correct the data and let a successful recheck resolve it, or explicitly mark it Reviewed—data acceptable. Opening a record does not clear a warning.

How does AI review entered details?

Text review uses AI with photographs, raw document numbers and access codes excluded. It is off by default, separately enabled per property when available for the account, and does not block guest registration. Mistral AI photo processing is a separate service.
