AI receptionist for yoga studios
In a yoga studio, no one wants to answer the phone during savasana. An AI receptionist picks up for you, answers questions about class levels, passes and parking, books students into classes, and takes a message when a question needs a human. It speaks in the calm tone you set and sends the hard questions to a person.
Talk through your studio with the person who builds it
A free 30-minute call. You leave knowing which part of your yoga studio to hand to AI first, what we would build, and roughly how long it takes.
Questions that repeat all day
Which class is right for a beginner. Is there a class tonight. Can I bring my own mat. Do you have a student discount. How do I put my membership on hold.
Each has an answer in your head or on a sheet by the desk. A receptionist that knows them saves the teacher from interrupting their prep.
Where a person should step in
Someone who mentions an injury, pregnancy or a hard time in life needs a caring human. The assistant should say the teacher will be in touch and pass the note along without giving advice.
Refunds, exceptions and complaints also go to a person.
Picture this
Examples of what it can look like. Illustrations, not clients.
At five forty, a call comes in from someone hoping to join the six o’clock class. The AI checks the room, books her, and texts the check-in details.
A message arrives asking whether the Sunday workshop is suitable for total beginners. The reply is honest and links to the sign-up page.
A student writes that she is recovering from surgery. The assistant does not advise. It alerts the teacher and tells her someone will reach out.

Questions
Can it have a gentle voice?
Yes. You write how it should sound, and test it before it goes live.
Does it replace the front desk host?
No. Hosts still greet people. The assistant covers the phone and messages when they cannot.
