Case study · product & proof
Inside the Cap Nioulargo deployment — Brigitte's first AI concierge, in Ramatuelle.
A privately-owned one-bedroom apartment 250 metres from Pampelonne Beach was the first property to run a per-property AI concierge. Here is what the owner and the property manager saw, after one season.

A short-term rental gets dozens of repetitive questions per stay — the door code, the Wi-Fi password, where to eat, is the pool heated, the beach we can walk to. At a luxury apartment in Ramatuelle, those questions used to arrive at 2:47 a.m., in four languages, while the owner was asleep. After one season with Brigitte, almost none of them did.
Cap Nioulargo — a privately-owned, one-bedroom luxury apartment 250 metres from Pampelonne Beach, in the commune of Ramatuelle on the Saint-Tropez peninsula — was the first property to deploy Brigitte, the per-property AI concierge built by MyBrigitte. This case study walks through who Cap Nioulargo is, what changed after deployment, and how the figures below were measured.
01 · The property
Cap Nioulargo — what we deployed against.
A single, privately-owned apartment on the Saint-Tropez peninsula. The owner rents it directly, in week-long stays from May to October, to an international clientele drawn by Pampelonne Beach, the wild cove walks of the Cap Taillat path, and the village markets at Place des Lices.

02 · The challenge
Seven unread messages by 2:47 a.m.
A high-end short-stay generates a steady stream of repetitive questions per stay — most of them already answered in the welcome book, none of them able to wait until morning. The owner kept a smartphone on their bedside table all season. A typical night ran like this:
Before — 02:47 · the owner's phone
7 unread.
- "Door code not working??" — Marc K. (EN)
- "Wifi keeps dropping. Password right?" — Helena R. (EN)
- "Aircon noise — normal?" — Pierre J. (EN)
- "Si può fumare in terrazza?" — Sofia M. (IT)
- "Strand morgen — wo?" — Klaus B. (DE)
- + 2 more (FR, EN)
After — 08:12 · the owner's inbox
0 unread. Brigitte handled it.
- Door code — re-shared with photo of the keypad (EN)
- Wi-Fi — confirmed; suggested 5 GHz from the terrace (EN)
- Aircon — explained the night cycle; pointed at the manual (EN)
- Fumare — sì sul terrazza est, mai dentro (IT)
- Strand — Plage de Bonne Terrasse, sechs Minuten (DE)
- + 2 more — both house-manual questions, resolved (FR, EN)
An owner's inbox, before and after Brigitte — owner action required: 0. Sleep: uninterrupted.
03 · The deployment
Ingest, tune, deploy — two weeks.
Brigitte was deployed under the standard MyBrigitte workflow. Most of the work was done by MyBrigitte, not the owner. End-to-end: under fourteen days from contract to live concierge.
- Ingest (days 1–4). The Cap Nioulargo house manual, the Airbnb and Booking.com listings, the owner's partner shortlist (Chez Camille for the beach lunch, La Ponche for a quiet evening, Place des Lices market on Tuesday and Saturday), and the property's direct-booking site were structured, deduplicated, and turned into Brigitte's knowledge base. A gap report flagged what the welcome book was still missing.
- Tune (days 5–11). The owner specified how a guest should feel — formal-but-warm, sun-warmed, discreet — and signed off twenty test conversations. Boundaries were set: Brigitte does not book on the owner's behalf, does not improvise outside the partner shortlist, and defers when a question is operational.
- Deploy (days 12–14). A QR code went into the welcome book, a WhatsApp number onto the booking-confirmation email, and a small chat widget onto cap-nioulargo.com. The owner's dashboard started filling itself.
04 · Quantified outcomes
One season in. Five numbers.
The figures below are the outcomes the owner and the property manager observed after Brigitte's first full season at Cap Nioulargo. Each carries an explicit source line.
Cap Nioulargo — first season after Brigitte
Guest adoption.
Of guests used Brigitte during their stay — unprompted after the first message. Adoption was driven by the QR code in the welcome book and the WhatsApp number on the booking confirmation.

Question deflection.
Reduction in guest questions reaching the property manager and the owner. Repetitive questions — door code, Wi-Fi, beaches, restaurants, market days — were resolved inside Brigitte. Operational issues escalated to a human cleanly.

Review-score lift, year-over-year.
Average guest review score for Cap Nioulargo rose by six tenths of a star, comparing the first season after Brigitte against the prior season. Guests cited immediacy — round-the-clock replies in their language — as a reason the stay felt cared-for.

Host hours recovered per week.
Per property, mostly displaced from nights, weekends, and August. At Cap Nioulargo this took the form of an uninterrupted night's sleep at the height of the season — overnight messages were resolved before 8 a.m. without owner intervention.

06 · Method & transparency
How these figures were measured.
The figures in this case study come from a single deployment — Brigitte's first — at Cap Nioulargo, Ramatuelle. They were reported by the property's owner and manager, and are being independently verified before further deployments are added.
- Guest adoption (87%) — measured from Brigitte's production logs as the share of unique guest stays in the first season that exchanged at least one message with Brigitte after check-in.
- Question deflection (90%) — owner-reported reduction in repetitive guest messages reaching the property manager and the owner, comparing the season after Brigitte to the prior season under comparable booking volume.
- Review-score lift (+0.6★) — change in average guest review score year-over-year, first season after Brigitte vs. the prior season, across the property's direct-booking site and the major OTAs.
- Languages (40+) — platform capability; languages observed in use at Cap Nioulargo confirmed via production logs.
- Hours saved (12 hrs/week) — platform-level figure from Brigitte's published Brigitte-by-the-numbers panel, attributable to Cap Nioulargo under the same usage pattern.
Results from further properties will be published here as they are confirmed.
