For
Barbershop owners managing calls and appointments
Worth noticing
The sample-call page says the caller is scripted and AI-voiced, while the agent's words and voice are its own.

Field notes

In the sample workflow, the assistant identifies Quinn as a regular, recalls his usual skin fade with Diego, checks Friday availability, holds the selected slot, and sends a text with a change-or-cancel link. The page identifies this as a test call to a renamed sample shop; it says the caller is scripted and AI-voiced, while the agent's words and voice are its own. Pricing is listed from CA$89 per location, with a 14-day trial that does not require a card.
