Demo project

An AI booking assistant for a hair studio

A chat agent that handles availability and books appointments in plain English. Built as a demo for a small salon to show how a business can replace a phone-tag booking flow with a 24/7 assistant on their website.

The problem

A salon's busiest hours are also its worst hours to answer the phone. Calls go to voicemail, customers move on, and out-of-hours enquiries vanish by morning. A simple "book now" button helps, but only if the customer already knows what they want. Most do not.

What it does

Talks to customers in plain English

Visitors ask about services, prices, or opening hours and get an immediate, accurate reply. No menus, no forms.

Checks live availability

Aria reads the salon's schedule on demand and offers real slots, not generic windows. Powered by a tool the AI calls during the conversation.

Books the appointment

Once the customer picks a time, Aria collects their name and confirms the booking. The same tool pattern can write to Square, Calendly, or a custom system.

Works 24/7 on any device

Mobile-first chat UI that drops onto a website in a single embed. No app install, no booking accounts.

How it works

The assistant reads availability and creates bookings on demand. The same pattern can connect to whatever you already use: Square, Calendly, Google Calendar, or a custom system. It can also run inside Facebook Messenger, Instagram DMs, or WhatsApp, wherever your customers already message you.
