Every barbershop gets the same messages all day: "how much is a trim?", "you open Sunday?", "can I come at 6?". Each one interrupts a cut, or goes unanswered and becomes a lost customer.
This assistant answers them instantly, at any hour, on WhatsApp or Instagram, and it only speaks from the shop's own information: its real price list, its real hours, its real open slots. When someone's ready to book, it books them there and then, and sends a reminder before the appointment so they actually turn up.
Anything unusual (a complaint, a custom request, something it isn't sure about) gets handed straight to the owner rather than guessed at. The same pattern fits any appointment-based small business: nail techs, tattoo artists, personal trainers, cleaners.
Anything unusual goes to the owner, not guessed by the AI.
