A receptionist that answers every text — and knows when to ask your staff
Your clients text your number. The AI answers, checks real availability, and books. Your staff approve, adjust, or take over — by text. Nobody downloads an app. Nobody waits on hold.
Working your number, 24/7
The AI Booking Assistant answers your dedicated business number around the clock: booking, rescheduling, add-on suggestions you've curated, and answers to the questions you get every day. It reads your real calendar, your real services, your real prices — so what it offers is what you actually have.
Your staff stay in charge — by text
When something needs a human — a discount request, an unusual booking, a client who just wants to chat — the assistant hands the conversation to your staff, who manage it with plain text messages: approve, cancel, reschedule, take over. No dashboard to log into at 9pm. 250 AI conversations a month are included; when the quota's reached, the assistant steps aside and your staff simply see the messages.
What this costs elsewhere
The big marketplace platform's AI concierge runs $99.95 a month per location. Another platform's "receptionist" product is an actual human answering service at $99 a month. The premium salon platforms have no native AI receptionist at all — third-party bolt-ons start around $109 a month. Atelier's is $39 a month, on your own number, with staff approval built in. Ours handles messages — text and web chat — not phone calls. That's why it costs $39 and not $99.
Four things every Atelier tenant gets, on day one
- A brand-fit URL. Pick a vertical-branded subdomain on day one (yourshop.atelier.salon, .tattoo, .spa, .dance, .fitness, .golf, .dog, .pet, .skin, or seated.studio). Connect a domain you own any time — no upgrade tier.
- Pick a plan, not a parts list. Forms, staff profiles, two-way calendar sync, no-show protection, waitlists, resource scheduling, multi-location support, reviews and in-person card payments — all in the plan, including the free one. Gift cards, packages and text reminders come with every paid plan. That leaves two clearly-priced extras (the Marketing Suite and the AI assistant), and Website Pro folds the first of those in too.
- Flat as your team grows. Unlimited staff, services, and customers — the same bill with five team members as with fifty, on every plan. Additional locations are a flat $25/month each, with your full plan at each.
- A free directory listing. Every paid plan (Booking Pro and up) is auto-listed in the public Atelier directory. New customers find you there and click straight through to your booking URL — no commission, no per-booking fee, no marketplace cut.
