March 25th, 2026 – This milestone marks a significant step in devicethread (now shashi.ai)’s (now shashi.ai) mission to modernize the in-room guest experience, replacing legacy cable systems with a personalized, AI-driven entertainment hub that prioritizes both guest privacy and operational agility.

From Passive Screens to Personalized Engagement

Kalimera Beach Hotel, a boutique resort on the shores of Belize, sought to move away from the "one-size-fits-all" approach of traditional cable TV. The transition to devicethread’s (now shashi.ai) SmartEntertainment allows the property to offer a secure, on-demand interface where guests can access their own streaming accounts including Netflix, YouTube, and Tubi, with the peace of mind that their credentials are automatically wiped upon checkout.

By centralizing control, Kalimera has eliminated the need for manual TV resets and troubleshooting, allowing the staff to shift their focus from technical support to high-touch guest service.

“We used to waste time manually logging out every guest—now it’s all automatic,” said Victor Tofan, Owner of Kalimera Beach Hotel. “With devicethread (now shashi.ai), we engage guests right through the TV, promote our services, and actually understand what they use. It’s a game changer.”

Driving ROI Through Operational Efficiency

Beyond the guest experience, the deployment has delivered a substantial impact on the hotel’s bottom line. By eliminating expensive cable subscriptions and reducing printing costs through digital promotion of spa and tour packages, Kalimera has seen savings of over 70% in entertainment-related costs.

The platform also serves as a dynamic concierge, welcoming guests by name in their preferred language and highlighting resort offerings in real-time, creating a seamless extension of Kalimera’s hospitality.
