Local business owners lose 40% of leads because they can't answer customer calls 24/7. This no-code platform lets service providers create AI chatbots that answer common questions, book appointments, and collect leads automatically. Owners provide their website URL and FAQ document, and the chatbot is trained and deployed to their website, Facebook, and WhatsApp. The chatbot learns from interactions and improves over time. Business owners see 30% more bookings within 30 days.
