The problem it solves

Answering the same booking questions over WhatsApp all day pulls you and your staff away from clients who are actually in the chair. Manually checking your calendar for openings, confirming appointments, and sending reminders is easy to fall behind on, especially during busy hours.

Who it fits

Salons, spas, and other appointment-based service businesses that take bookings over WhatsApp.

How it works

  1. A client messages your WhatsApp number to book, change, or ask about an appointment
  2. AI reads the message, including voice notes or photos, and figures out what they need
  3. It checks your Google Calendar for open times and confirms or reschedules the appointment
  4. Clients automatically receive a reminder message the day before their appointment
  5. You can also manage services, hours, and pricing conversationally through WhatsApp

You decide how many no-shows a reminder would have prevented, from your own experience. We assume no rate, and we do not count slots you would have refilled anyway.

What you get

Confirmed appointments on your calendar and automatic reminder messages sent to clients.

What you need

A WhatsApp Business account, a Google Calendar, and an AI API key such as OpenAI or Google Gemini.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
