Setup

Hired in 15 minutes. Working forever.

Three steps, in order — because that's genuinely all there is.

STEP 01

Teach it your business

Paste your website, price list, or just type your FAQs. Your clerk learns your hours, services, prices, and tone — and you tell it what makes a lead worth your time, so it knows which questions to ask.

STEP 02

Connect your WhatsApp

Link your existing business number or get a new one. No app for your customers to download — they message you like they always have.

STEP 03

Open your calendar

Connect Google Calendar or use ours, plus PayFast or Stripe. Your clerk offers real open slots, books them, sends a payment link to confirm, and handles reminders and reschedules on its own.

The morning after

Wake up to a sorted pipeline

While it chats, your clerk files. Every conversation lands in your dashboard, already sorted into leads worth calling and ones that aren't.

  • Qualified leads with budget, timing and needs already confirmed
  • Unqualified leads filed with the reason, so nothing nags at you
  • Every chat and every question saved — tap any lead to read the full conversation
  • See which questions customers ask most, and teach your clerk once

FAQ

Questions? Naturally.

Answering these is literally our whole thing.

Will customers know they're talking to a bot?
That's up to you. Most businesses have the clerk introduce itself as an automated assistant — customers don't mind when replies are instant and accurate. You can name it whatever you like.
What happens when it doesn't know the answer?
It never guesses. If a question falls outside what you've taught it, it tells the customer a team member will follow up, and forwards you the conversation with full context. You reply once; it learns for next time.
Do I need a new WhatsApp number?
No. You can connect the business number you already use. If you'd rather keep things separate, we can set you up with a new number in minutes.
Can I still jump into conversations myself?
Anytime. You see every chat live from your dashboard, and the moment you type, the clerk steps back until you hand the conversation back.
How does it qualify leads?
You define what a good lead looks like — budget range, timing, service, area, anything. Your clerk weaves those questions naturally into the conversation, asks follow-ups when answers are vague, and files each contact as qualified or unqualified with the full chat attached. No interrogations, no forms.
How do payments work?
Connect PayFast, Stripe, or any provider that gives you payment links. Your clerk sends a secure link at the right moment — a deposit to confirm a booking, or full payment upfront. Money goes straight to your account; we never hold or touch it.
Which businesses does this work for?
Anyone who books time or answers the same questions daily: salons, clinics, dentists, tour operators, gyms, restaurants, repair shops, tutors. If your customers WhatsApp you, it works.

Clock out. It clocks in.
