AI receptionist for martial arts schools
The people who run a martial arts school are on the mat when parents call. An AI receptionist answers for you: it explains age groups and class times, books trial classes, tells people what to wear, and takes a message for anything personal. It never makes up prices or promises and hands any concern about a child’s safety or behavior to an instructor.
Talk through your school with the person who builds it
A free 30-minute call. You leave knowing which part of your martial arts school to hand to AI first, what we would build, and roughly how long it takes.
What parents ask
What age can my child start. Is there a class for beginners. How much is it. Do you do belt tests. Can I watch. What if my son is not very coordinated.
These questions come in during evening classes, when no one can pick up. That is the moment a parent is deciding where to go.
What stays with an instructor
Discipline issues, bullying, injuries and special needs call for a human. The assistant should say an instructor will reach out, record the details and avoid giving opinions.
It also should not decide on refunds, contract exceptions or promotions between belts.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like. Illustrations, not clients.
During the kids’ class at six, a call comes in from a father asking about karate for his seven-year-old. The AI explains the age group and books a trial.
A text asks if parents can stay and watch. The AI gives your viewing policy.
A parent says her daughter was hurt last class. The AI does not guess. It flags it for the owner right away.
