BookByText

AI booking assistant for local businesses

Your phone gets answered. Your book gets filled. You stay with the customer.

It answers your phone and your website chat, checks your real Google Calendar, and books the appointment itself.

A part-timer on the phone ten hours a week runs about a thousand dollars a month, and doesn't work Sundays. This starts at $75; the plan that answers your phone, $150.

Live demo

The half your customer never sees

The assistant at the top of this page is the real one. Book something with it, then look here — this is the shop's side of it.

Or hear it answer a phone. Call (925) 489-1150, a made-up nail salon we keep on the line. Interrupt it, change your mind — it is the same assistant. (Calls are live, and so is text message booking — text the same number and it answers.)

1 · Their calendar

Nothing booked yet — book something in the chat and watch it land here.

2 · Their customer's confirmation

Nothing to send yet.

3 · Their inbox

Nothing to report yet.

The demo sends nothing. It saves a sample booking so you can see it, but it never writes to anyone's calendar, texts anyone, or emails anyone — the wording above is what a real shop's customer and owner would get.

The assistant only knows what you put here.

How it works

Set up once. Booked from then on.

1

We wire it up for you

  • A chat window on your site — one line of script
  • Your Google Calendar, services and hours
  • You keep walk-ins, time off and clean-down gaps
2

The assistant answers

  • Questions about services and hours
  • Openings from your real calendar
  • A name taken when you're fully booked
  • No pretending to be human — ask for a person and the call goes to your own cell
3

The booking just appears

  • Straight onto your Google Calendar
  • A confirmation with a calendar invite, if they left an email
  • A private link to cancel or move it themselves
The settings screen for a sample salon: the services typed in plain English, then read back underneath with a price and a length each, and the opening hours read back day by day. The page a customer opens from their confirmation: the shop, the service, the time, a Confirmed badge, and buttons to pick a new time or cancel.
What you set up, and what your customer gets — both the real product, for a salon we made up.

Pricing

A one-time setup, then a flat monthly

A good month never costs you more. Every price is agreed in a conversation, not a checkout.

No free trial — a paid pilot instead. Pay the setup, then no monthly for 30 days on your real shop. Month to month after that, no minimum term.
