AI receptionist for music schools
In a music school every teacher is behind a closed door and the front desk may be empty. An AI receptionist can answer questions about instruments, ages, trial lessons and hours, and book or hold a trial slot. Anything about billing, a complaint or a particular student goes to you.
Talk through your school with the person who builds it
A free 30-minute call. You leave knowing which part of your music school to hand to AI first, what we would build, and roughly how long it takes.
The questions that repeat
Do you teach adults? How old does a child need to be for piano? Do you rent instruments? What does a trial look like?
The assistant answers from the facts you give it, so it never invents a policy.
What goes to you
A parent unhappy with a teacher, a question about a payment, a student who is struggling, a request for a refund. Those are not for an automated line.
It takes a message and tells you what the caller wants, so your call back is informed.
Rentals and supplies
Instrument rentals, method books, reeds and strings prompt constant questions. Give the assistant your rental terms and a list of what the school stocks, and it can answer without pulling a teacher out of a lesson. If a question is about stock it is unsure of, it should say so and ask staff.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like. Illustrations, not clients.
It is 4:30 PM and every room is in use. A caller asks if you offer ukulele for a six-year-old. The assistant answers and offers a Saturday trial.
A parent wants to know if you rent violins. The assistant explains the process you gave it and takes a name.
A call comes in after closing about a recital date. The assistant gives the date from your calendar.
The rules that apply, in their own words

Questions
Can it book a teacher’s time?
It can hold a slot in the times you open, and you confirm.
Does it know our instrument policies?
Only what you tell it. If it is unsure it passes the question on.
Will it sound robotic?
Keep its replies short and warm. Read a few real calls and adjust the wording.
