Short answer

Clients of salons, hairdressers, beauticians, repair workshops and consultants ask about pricing, opening hours, appointments and hygiene, typically in the evening and at the weekend. The assistant answers from the company’s knowledge base, and it can forward appointment requests together with the contact details.

Clients of salons, hairdressers, beauticians, repair workshops and consultants ask the same ten questions, several times a day, often when nobody behind the counter can answer. The assistant answers them from the company’s own knowledge base, and only hands over to a colleague what needs coordination or an individual decision. The source is shown next to the answer, so you can check what it based its reply to the client on.

Example 1

Sample conversation

Customer: How much does a haircut cost, and do I have to pay in advance?

AI assistant: According to our price list, the price of a women's haircut includes washing and drying; you can pay on site, in cash or by card. Would you like to request an appointment? Please give me your contact details, and a colleague will contact you.

Example 2

AI assistantArtificial intelligence, not a human

Sample conversation

Customer: Can I come in this afternoon without an appointment?

AI assistant: On designated days we also see clients without an appointment. We have no data recorded for today: give your contact details, and a colleague will let you know whether they can see you on the spot.

Customer: I would like my usual staff member.

AI assistant: I will forward your request. Give your name, the time you would like and your contact details, and a colleague will contact you.

Example 3

AI assistantArtificial intelligence, not a human

Sample conversation

Customer: How do you disinfect your tools?

AI assistant: We disinfect the tools according to our documented hygiene procedure. I have no information on how often equipment is replaced: give your contact details, and a colleague will answer.

Customer: Can you take a booking for a company team?

AI assistant: Yes, we also host company groups; the options depend on the group size. A colleague will calculate the price of an individual package. Please give the number of people, the date and your contact details.

What it does not do

  • It does not book the appointment: it can forward the request, and your colleague confirms it.
  • It does not give health, medical or legal advice, nor individual treatment recommendations: in these cases it hands the question over.
  • It does not quote an individual price for group or corporate bookings: it asks for the number of people, the date and the contact details, and hands over to a colleague.
  • It does not indicate free slots or availability: the company’s website and your colleagues confirm these.
  • It does not accept payments or bookings in the chat: it describes the payment methods and the on-site options, and hands over the arrangements.
  • It does not rate other service providers, and it gives no answer for which there is no content on the uploaded pages.

What we need from you

The company’s knowledge base: the price list, opening hours, service description, house rules and FAQ. What there is no content for, the assistant does not make up: it asks for the contact details and hands over to a colleague. The assistant answers in the customer’s language, even if the knowledge base is in another language.

Our onboarding team uploads the knowledge base; before go-live, we check it with ten test questions. Live within two working days, if we have access to edit your website or your web developer places the code snippet.
