AI answers. Your team decides.

Every conversation is visible to your staff in one live view — with a one-click takeover and an instant AI summary, so a person can step in at exactly the right moment.

  • One-click takeover — a person replies mid-conversation, and can hand back to the AI just as easily.
  • AI brief before you jump in — a three-line summary of the conversation, journey and intent.
  • Escalation rules — complaints, specialist or sensitive topics always go to your team, never to the AI.
  • A safe fallback — when the assistant isn’t sure, it says so and hands over. It never guesses.
  • Everything reviewable — full transcripts of every AI conversation, with live translate for any language.

The brain

The newest AI models — your choice.

Quality first: choose the configured AI setup and ground every answer in your salon’s approved information, services and policies.

  • Latest models from OpenAI, Anthropic (Claude) and Google (Gemini) — switch any time, with recommended presets.
  • Answers come from your approved knowledge base — FAQs and uploaded documents — not the open internet.
  • Hard guardrails: core behaviour rules, an escalation policy and a safe fallback when it isn’t sure.
  • Test before clients see it — a private playground to chat with your configured assistant.
  • It learns your voice — optionally fine-tune on your own best conversations.
  • Transparent AI spend — per-model, per-feature usage with a monthly cap.
Prove it works

From conversations to booking requests — measured.

The receptionist isn’t a black box. A live funnel shows how chats become contacts and booking requests, and where every enquiry came from.

  • A funnel for every chat — conversations → engaged → contact shared → booking request.
  • Where clients come from — search, direct or social, and which pages start conversations.
  • When they ask — busiest hours and days, including everything that arrives out of hours.
  • AI vs human handled — see exactly how much reception load the assistant absorbs.
  • Daily digest & export — a morning email summary, with full reports exportable.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is an AI receptionist for salons?

It is a virtual front desk that answers approved questions, captures service and booking intent, and hands conversations to salon staff when a person is needed.

Does it replace a salon receptionist?

No. It covers repeatable first-response work and out-of-hours capture. People remain responsible for judgement, exceptions and relationship-building.

Can staff take over a live conversation?

Yes. Staff can enter the shared conversation with its transcript and summary, then continue the client journey.

What happens when the AI does not know?

The safe behaviour is to say it cannot confirm, collect any useful context and use the configured handover or contact route rather than invent an answer.

Can an AI receptionist book salon appointments?

It can capture intent and continue into the Beauty Tech booking journey. Exact automation depends on your services, availability rules and integrations.

Can it support other languages?

The product includes multilingual conversation support. Test priority languages and handover behaviour using your real salon content before launch.

How does it know our salon information?

Responses are grounded in approved FAQs, service information, policies and other maintained business knowledge.

How is client information handled?

Collect only what the enquiry needs and configure permissions, lawful purpose, consent, retention and deletion around UK GDPR responsibilities.
