An AI receptionist for tattoo studios that books consultations
You are three hours into a back piece and the phone is going in the front. This answers it, books somebody in with Kai for the free half hour that a custom design actually starts with, and texts them a code — instead of quoting a price nobody could honestly give over the phone.
It books the consultation, not a guess at how long the piece takes.
A custom piece cannot be quoted over the phone, so it books the consultation — free and thirty minutes, if that is how you run it.
A price of zero is a real price. It says the consultation costs nothing rather than dodging the question.
Callers get the artist they asked for, because who does which style is part of what you described.
A deposit conversation stays yours. It arranges the meeting; you agree the money face to face.

True in every trade
Your customers’ languages
Over twenty, recognised as the caller speaks. Nobody presses a key and nobody has to ask.
A book you can actually read
Today’s list, a calendar, and the written transcript of the call behind every single row.
Change it in a sentence
New service, new hours, a day off — write it the way you would say it. There is no settings screen to hunt through.
Your customers cancel by text
The confirmation text is also how they get out of it. They reply, the slot goes back into your book, and you are told if it was for today — no queue, no app, and nobody has to phone you back to cancel.
Your side is in your language too
The dashboard is in English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, and both Simplified and Traditional Chinese — dates and durations included. You should not have to work in your second language to run your own book.
A person, when they ask for one
Add and confirm your mobile and “can I speak to someone?” rings it. Until you confirm it, the receptionist never offers a transfer it cannot make — it takes a message instead.
Tattoo studios: the things people ask first
You cannot price a custom tattoo on the phone. Does it try?
No, and that is deliberate. It books the consultation — in the recording on this page, thirty minutes with Kai at no charge — because that is where a real quote comes from. A number invented over the phone becomes an argument at the chair.
Our consultations are free. Does it handle a price of zero properly?
It says the consultation is free, out loud. Free is a real price and it is often the reason somebody rings at all — a receptionist that goes quiet on the question makes the caller assume the opposite.
Every artist here works in a different style. Does it match them up?
Who does which style is part of what you described, and it only offers an artist who does the kind of work being asked about. Booking a fine-line request with somebody who only does traditional wastes both of their afternoons.
What about deposits?
It does not take money. It arranges the meeting and puts the caller’s own description of what they want in front of you; the deposit conversation stays where it belongs, which is with you and the person sitting in front of you.
Not quite what you run?
These work the same way underneath — and if none of them is you, the last card is.
Hair & barber
It knows who does what, and how long it really takes.
Nail salons
Two services in one visit, and it works out when the second one starts.
Photographers
It will not guess where the shoot happens — it takes a number instead.
AI phone answering service
A traditional answering service picks up and writes down what the caller said.
