Frequently Asked Questions

How fast can the AI receptionist actually be set up?

Most multi-location salons and spas can go live within one business day. After connecting your phone system and scheduling platform, we customize the AI's script for your services, hours, and booking rules. You can test it with a few calls and then launch same day. The entire process is guided by our onboarding team and requires no technical expertise from your staff.

Will the AI sound natural? Can it handle different accents or languages?

Absolutely. Our AI uses advanced neural voice models that sound warm and human, not robotic. It can be configured to speak English, Spanish, or other languages commonly used in your client base. It also adapts to different accents and speaking speeds, ensuring a comfortable experience for every caller.

Can it handle complex scheduling like multi-service bookings, waiting lists, or cancellations?

Yes. The AI integrates deeply with your booking platform (e.g., Booker, Mindbody, Vagaro) to check real-time availability, book multiple services per appointment, add clients to waitlists, and process cancellations with your cancellation policy. It can also reschedule and send confirmations automatically.

Does the AI work with my existing phone number or do I need a new one?

You can keep your existing business phone numbers. The AI receptionist can be deployed on top of your current phone system via SIP trunking or by forwarding calls to a dedicated AI number. We'll ensure seamless integration so your clients never notice a difference.

How much does it cost compared to a human receptionist?

Our pricing starts at a fraction of a minimum-wage employee per location, with no hidden fees and unlimited calls. For multi-location businesses, the per-location cost decreases. There's no long-term contract, so you can scale up or down as your needs change. Most clients save 70% or more compared to hiring additional staff.

What if a client needs to speak to a human? Can the AI transfer calls?

Absolutely. The AI is designed to handle the majority of routine requests, but it can instantly transfer calls to a live staff member for complex issues, VIP clients, or if the client asks. You set the trigger words or conditions for transfers, ensuring a smooth handoff without forcing callers to repeat themselves.
