Maitly.ai Joins The International Accelerator

AI platform helps hospitality businesses solve missed calls, boost bookings, and elevate guest experience

AUSTIN, Texas - Sept. 22, 2025 - The International Accelerator has announced that Maitly.ai, an AI startup founded by British entrepreneur Ben Wolfenden, has joined its portfolio. The Austin-based company helps restaurants, hotels, golf courses, and day spas solve one of hospitality’s biggest challenges: unanswered calls.

More than 70% of customer calls go unanswered during peak hours or after closing, costing businesses revenue and reputation. Maitly.ai’s 24/7 AI System answers calls, manages reservations, and provides instant information - for less than the cost of hiring additional staff.

“Maitly.ai is tackling a universal frustration in hospitality - missed calls and outdated systems that frustrate customers and drain revenue,” said Parke Benjamin, COO of the International Accelerator. “Their platform doesn’t just answer phones; it improves the guest experience and frees staff to focus where it matters most.”

The platform includes multi-language support, custom voice training, smart call routing, and instant setup with integrations to tools like OpenTable, Resy, and POS systems. Businesses also receive detailed reporting on call trends and customer satisfaction.

“Early pilots have already delivered significant results with two major brands, paving the way for potential national rollouts across all their properties,” said Ben Wolfenden, CEO and Founder of Maitly.ai. “Coming to the U.S. from England to launch Maitly, I knew Austin was the ideal place to build an AI company, and with the International Accelerator’s support, we are ready to scale nationwide.”
