Join use at the STR AI Summit — June 23-24 at the Freedom Factory in Beverly, MA. 100 seats only strsecrets.com/aisummit Mike Sjogren spent over $5,000 in API credits in two months learning AI the hard way. And he wants to make sure you don't have to. In this Portfolio Clinic training, Mike breaks down the top 10 AI mistakes that cost him real money — from not understanding context windows to memory file bloat to giving an agent 15 tasks at once and wondering why nothing got done. He then walks through exactly how STR operators should be using AI right now across three buckets: getting more properties, getting more bookings, and getting more time back. He also shows how he rebuilt his Florida direct booking website in under a day for under $200 using Manus, how his AI agent scrapes top boutique hotel social media content overnight and delivers a morning brief, and why the goal is never to build your own software — it's to use AI as a bolt-on to everything you already have.
