Sasha, a solo hairstylist, was overwhelmed by missed calls while cutting hair. Prospects would leave voicemails, but by the time she called back, they'd booked elsewhere.
After setting up an AI receptionist in 45 minutes, every call gets answered immediately. Appointments are booked directly into her calendar without back-and-forth.
Most sole traders are fully operational within one hour. We provide a simple step-by-step wizard where you record your services, set your availability, and customize the AI's greeting and responses. There are no coding requirements or complex integrations. If you have a Google Calendar or Calendly, connecting it takes just a few clicks. You can test the AI with a live call immediately after setup and tweak it in real time.
Yes. Our AI uses advanced neural voice models that sound warm and human-like. You can choose from several voices and adjust the speaking speed, tone, and even add regional accents. The AI is trained to handle interruptions, pause naturally, and adapt to the caller's pace—so the conversation feels fluid and professional, not robotic.
Absolutely. The AI is designed to manage the full booking lifecycle. It can accept new appointments, handle cancellation requests, and reschedule existing bookings—all directly linked to your calendar. You control the rules, such as cancellation windows and confirmation messages. The AI will send automated follow-ups and reminders to reduce no-shows.
You can modify your services, pricing, and availability through a simple dashboard at any time. Changes take effect immediately with no downtime. For example, if you add a new treatment or extend weekend hours, just update the settings and the AI will use the latest information on every subsequent call.
Yes, security is built into the platform. All voice recordings are encrypted in transit and at rest. We are GDPR compliant and do not store payment information unless you integrate with a secure payment processor. You have full control over data retention policies, and you can delete call logs and client details at any time.
The AI is trained on industry-specific vocabulary and common scenarios for salons and spas. If a request falls outside its programmed scope, it can politely ask clarifying questions or offer to transfer to you via text notification or live handoff. You can continuously improve the AI by reviewing call transcripts and adding custom responses through the dashboard.
