What is Hostaway?
Hostaway spreads CoHost to mobile and absorbs French e-invoicing before the mandate
Three strands are shipping in parallel. AI CoHost, introduced in June, reached the mobile app, so property questions, conversation search and financial reports can be pulled from a phone. Operationally, a new Refuse Bookings setting blocks reservations that hourly automated reshuffling cannot fit, closing a double-booking gap at the source. Commercially, French electronic invoicing is now handled inside Hostaway ahead of the phased September 2026 requirement, alongside recent work on OTA-channel invoices and the Booking Website Pro site builder.
What is My Hours?
My Hours 10.3 makes invoice dates editable and lets invoices carry a Detailed report.
10.3 makes the issue date editable on draft invoices, adds account and per-client default due dates, and lets users edit the email subject, preview the email and attach a Detailed report when sending. Daily Track gets a cleaner layout and filters get a redesign. It follows 10.2's lifetime project profitability, 10.1's audit log and 10.0's timesheet periods and locking.

Three strands are shipping in parallel. AI CoHost, introduced in June, reached the mobile app, so property questions, conversation search and financial reports can be pulled from a phone. Operationally, a new Refuse Bookings setting blocks reservations that hourly automated reshuffling cannot fit, closing a double-booking gap at the source. Commercially, French electronic invoicing is now handled inside Hostaway ahead of the phased September 2026 requirement, alongside recent work on OTA-channel invoices and the Booking Website Pro site builder.
◆ Where it's heading
The pattern is absorbing adjacent tools rather than integrating with them: invoicing, compliance, the booking site and now on-the-go assistant access all move inside Hostaway so an operator does not buy a second product. CoHost is following the ordinary assistant path of widening reach rather than taking on new authority — it answers on more screens, it does not yet act unprompted. The regulatory work is the more distinctive bet, since compliance deadlines create adoption pressure a feature cannot.
◆ Prediction
Expect the e-invoicing groundwork to extend to other markets with similar mandates, given how specifically this was built around a national deadline. CoHost's next step is more likely to be acting on reservations than appearing on another screen.
My Hours
5.0PM
My Hours 10.3 makes invoice dates editable and lets invoices carry a Detailed report.
◆ Current state
10.3 makes the issue date editable on draft invoices, adds account and per-client default due dates, and lets users edit the email subject, preview the email and attach a Detailed report when sending. Daily Track gets a cleaner layout and filters get a redesign. It follows 10.2's lifetime project profitability, 10.1's audit log and 10.0's timesheet periods and locking.
◆ Where it's heading
My Hours keeps shipping every one to three weeks, and the work is concentrated on the billing end: invoices, profitability and approval controls. It is moving from a time tracker toward the system agencies use to bill clients.
◆ Prediction
Expect more invoicing controls, such as recurring invoices or payment tracking, given four straight releases touching billing. The September MCP server has had no follow-up in these entries.
