Book salon appointments on WhatsApp with an AI that checks the real calendar

who Bruno's Cabeleireiros, a hair salon in São Paulo, Brazil, quoting founder and owner Karina, as told in an Embed Station case study

What it does

Bella, an AI WhatsApp receptionist built by Embed Station, replies in about 20 seconds, checks the Trinks calendar in real time for open slots and stylists, and books the appointment herself when the client confirms.

The problem

Every WhatsApp booking took more than 20 minutes of back-and-forth while the front desk was with clients in the chair, and some messages never got answered.

What happened

As reported by Embed Station: reply time fell from over a minute (when it came) to 20 seconds always, and a full booking went from over 20 minutes to about 3. Karina: 'The implementation is just starting, but our customers are happy and impressed with the AI's responses.'
