Question

What does the AI assistant say when a customer wants to book an appointment?

Answer

If a booking system is connected, it directs the customer there with a link. If not, it asks for the name, contact details and the requested time, and can forward them to a colleague.

The answer in detail

The assistant does not record bookings. It answers about opening hours and the descriptions of the services from the company’s knowledge base, and the source is shown next to the answer.

For an accurate answer, it needs to know the name of the service and the number of people. The assistant hands the appointment request to a colleague: it asks for the name, contact details and the requested time, as described on the handoff to a human page.

If the company’s booking system is connected, the assistant sends the customer there with a link. The owner sees the unanswered question in the weekly summary.

What you need to upload

  • opening hours and closing days
  • descriptions of the services and the time they take
  • price list per package
  • the colleague’s contact details for the handoff
