Build your own AI chatbot that quotes prices, finds the nearest branch and books salon visits
Kamal Gulati, founder and CEO of GK Studio, a four-branch salon chain in Gurugram and South Delhi, in his own guest post
He built GK Studio's own AI chatbot for WhatsApp and Instagram. It recommends a service for the customer's needs and budget, finds the nearest of four branches, shares fixed prices and helps book; staff take over when needed. He uses Claude to review chatbot conversations and improve it.

Claude, Custom WhatsApp/Instagram chatbot
The problem
He answered every WhatsApp message himself at first; rule-based chatbots later couldn't handle questions asked in different ways.
What happened
Self-reported: 300 to 400 chats a day, 150 to 200 of them from new customers, handled with the team stepping in only when needed.
