Built by operators, for operators

Stop the no-show bleed.

An AI that confirms every booking, sends the right reminders at the right times, escalates the wobbly ones, and offers reschedules instead of cancellations. Most clinics, salons, and trade businesses cut no-shows by 50–70% in week one.

The Problem

Three no-shows a day.
That's $1,400 a week walking out the door.

Every empty chair is revenue you can't get back. Here's what you lose by chasing reminders manually.

Empty appointment chair in a clinic, schedule on tablet
  • Front desk forgets to confirm. One person, 60 bookings a day, lunch breaks. Confirmations slip. Three a day no-show.
  • One reminder isn't enough. One "see you tomorrow" text moves the needle 12%. Three smart reminders move it 60%+.
  • Cancellations come too late. "Sorry, can't make it" at 8 AM for a 9 AM appointment is unfillable. Earlier prompts mean rescheduling, not loss.
  • Multilingual is hard. Spanish-speaking patient gets English reminders, doesn't engage, no-shows. Localized reminders work.
  • Hiring a service is overkill. $1,200/mo for a call center reading scripts. AI does it better, in any language, for $99.
  • Manual reminders kill staff time. 30 minutes a day on confirmations is 130 hours a year — for one location.
How It Works

Four steps to a full schedule.

Connect your booking system once. We confirm, remind, reschedule, and recover — forever.

Most clinics see 50–70% no-show reduction in the first 14 days.

Calendar full of appointments, dentist office
Step 1 1

Connect your booking tool

Square, Acuity, Mindbody, Vagaro, JaneApp, Booksy — one click. We pull every booking, plus everything new.

Step 2 2

Configure your reminder cadence

48hr confirm · 24hr remind · 2hr nudge · 30min escalate. Defaults work, customize per service if you want.

Step 3 3

Smart escalation per booking

If they don't reply by hour 24, AI escalates with a personal touch. If they want to reschedule, AI offers slots.

Step 4 4

Recover what would have walked

No-show happens? AI texts that night with a 10%-off rebook offer. Half come back — most clinics never recover them at all.

Features

Built for the way you actually work.

Set the rules once. The product runs forever.

  • Multi-channel. SMS first, email backup, voice call escalation for high-value bookings.
  • Reschedule, don't cancel. If a customer says they can't make it, AI offers your real open slots — not a 'sorry to hear that.'
  • Smart escalation. Wobbly bookings get a personal-tone follow-up. Confirmed ones don't get spammed.
  • Two-way deposit handling. If you take deposits, AI explains the policy gently and recovers the booking. No-shows still get charged.
  • Multilingual reminders. 95+ languages. Customer's language, your tone, native quality.
  • Recovery flow built-in. Even when a no-show happens, AI texts that night with a rebook nudge. ~50% come back.

average lost-revenue per no-show

For a typical 30–60 minute appointment in dental, salon, or PT — the chair-time you can't refill at the last minute.

$3,600

monthly revenue lost per location

$200 × 18 no-shows × ~4 weeks. Most clinics don't realize they're losing this much because the slots feel "empty" not "costly."

FAQ

Every question we get before signup.

The honest answers — including the ones we wish you wouldn't ask.

Will customers feel spammed?

No — and we A/B-test against that constantly. Reminders sent at the right cadence (48hr confirm + 24hr remind + 2hr nudge) actually feel helpful, not pushy. The escalation message is only sent to bookings that haven't engaged.

What booking tools do you connect to?

Square Appointments, Acuity, Mindbody, Vagaro, JaneApp, Booksy, Calendly, Setmore, and 12+ more. If yours isn't on the list, we have a CSV import + Zapier path.

What if a customer wants to reschedule?

AI offers 3–5 of your real open slots in the conversation. They pick one, AI rebooks it on your calendar, you don't lift a finger.

Can I keep my deposit / cancellation policy?

Yes. We surface the policy gently in the reminder. If a customer asks to cancel late, AI explains the deposit and offers to reschedule first.

How quickly do reminders go out?

Booking lands in your system → reminder queue updates within 60 seconds. We never miss the 48hr or 24hr window.

Does it work in languages other than English?

Yes — 95+ languages, day one. The AI replies in whatever language the customer texts, in your business voice.

Can I cancel? Do you have contracts?

Cancel any time from your dashboard. No contracts, no setup fees, no hidden charges.

How do you measure no-show reduction?

We compare your 30-day baseline (before signup) to your trailing 30 days. Most clinics see 50–70% reduction by week 4. The dashboard shows it live.

Empty chairs are revenue. Fill them.

Every no-show is a customer your competitor will book next.
