AI booking assistant for local businesses
Your phone gets answered. Your book gets filled. You stay with the customer.
BookByText answers your business's phone line and website chat around the clock — it knows your services and hours, checks your real Google Calendar, and books appointments on its own. Every booking carries a link the customer can use to cancel or move it themselves, so that call doesn't come to you either.
A part-timer covering the phone ten hours a week runs about a thousand dollars a month — and they don't work Sundays. BookByText starts at $75 a month, and the plan that answers your phone line starts at $150 — answering in seconds, every day of the week.

How it works
Set up once. Booked from then on.
We wire it up for you
A chat window on your website — one line of script we hand you — and, on the plans that answer your phone line, your existing phone number, connected to your real Google Calendar and your real services and hours. Setup is done for you, and the book stays yours: you still add walk-ins, block out time off and set clean-down gaps between appointments.
The assistant answers
It greets your customers, answers questions about services and hours, offers openings from your actual calendar, and takes a name when you're fully booked. If someone asks for a person it doesn't pretend: on plans with the phone line, a caller is put straight through to your own cell — and once texting is live, a text conversation is flagged for you to pick up.
The booking just appears
Confirmed appointments land straight on your Google Calendar, and a customer who leaves an email gets a confirmation with a calendar invite, so it's in their phone too. Every booking carries a private link they can use to cancel or move it themselves. A weekly summary lands in your inbox with exactly what your assistant handled.
