Kendel Lavallee is a finalist for Woman of the Year in AI. She'll also tell you she isn't a technical person, and explains how those two things fit together. She's an average person working in a small business, using AI to make the work better and faster, then passing what she learns on to clients.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at Tourism AI Network. Today, we are especially thankful for the operators, DMOs, associations, and partners we get to work with, and for the amazing work they do in tourism and hospitality.

Wishing you a long weekend with good food and good people!

Nobody opened a restaurant because they wanted to do payroll.

Kate Colley lists what fills the week in a hospitality business: hiring, housekeeping, HR, schedules, menus, the newsletter that goes out every month whether or not anyone has time.

That is the work AI can carry, not the part guests came for.

Kendel Lavallee is a finalist for Woman of the Year in AI at the 2026 Stevie Awards for Women in Business. When the nomination came through, her first reaction was, "I'm not a technical person whatsoever."

Then she sat with it, and decided that might be the point.

Peter talks with Kendel about how AI has changed the way the Tourism AI Network team works: several Cowork tasks running at once, skills packaged into loops, and why curiosity and judgment matter more than a coding background.

Peter also covers what has to be in place before any of it works, starting with a team account, an AI policy and a knowledge base.

What would you hand to an AI agent first?

Kate Colley often hears these six questions from hospitality operators before they touch any of this.

Only one of them is about the technology, the rest are about looking foolish in front of your own team, which is a much harder problem to solve with a tool.

Peter Pilarski built a platform for his company this year despite not being a developer and having never built anything like it.

The developer he hired afterward to improve it told him it was well built, but it took him far longer than it would have taken that developer. He explains why that's a good thing.

Kate Colley has been doing this for thirty years. When AI hands her an answer she knows is wrong, she does not go looking for a second opinion. She knows.

That instinct is the thing she sells. The tools work around it.

In a few weeks, Peter is presenting at an economic development forum.

So what's his message to the people attending? The AI adoption concepts don't actually care what industry you're in, tourism just happens to be where Peter's been testing them. And the line between "tourism business" and "not a tourism business" is blurrier than people think.

That local boxing gym you visit on a work trip instead of the hotel gym? That's tourism. The grocery store where visitors pick up snacks and local goods before heading to their cabin? Also tourism.

Don't tune out because the room is being framed around tourism. The best practices around AI adoption and AI use apply no matter what you run.

Kate Colley's favourite thing about AI is the moment it gets something wrong.

Thirty years of hospitality experience tells her instantly. No fact-check needed. That is the case for experienced people staying close to this, rather than handing it to whoever on the team is youngest.
