FAQ

Fair questions

Will customers know they are talking to an assistant?

Yes. It introduces itself as the salon's assistant, and a person is one message away.

Can it message people who never wrote to us?

No. WhatsApp's own rules forbid that, and we would not build it. It answers people who write first, and reminds customers who booked.

What does it cost to run?

Usually a few euros a month for the messages and the model, paid by you directly and stated before you sign.

Start with the 2-hour operations audit

We read a week of your chats with you and leave a written map: what to automate, what it saves, what it costs.
