An AI receptionist for local businesses
A local business loses the visitor who lands on the website, cannot find the hours or a table, and leaves. An AI receptionist sits on that same page and answers what is in your profile.
Which venue it is for
A restaurant, a clinic, a practice, a shop. Anyone with a street and a website. Anyone who hears the same questions: whether you are open, what it costs, whether there is an opening today.
The AI receptionist lives on your website
Hostly is not an AI receptionist that answers every channel. She does not speak inside WhatsApp, on Instagram, or on the phone. The chat is on your page. The visitor does not leave for another app.
If you want a button to your WhatsApp, your chat opens and you reply yourselves. That is not Hostly speaking there.
Why Hostly: AI on the website, or WhatsApp with you
In a local business the customer wants two things. To ask quickly, without calling you. Or to talk to you for real. Hostly gives both: an AI receptionist on your website, and WhatsApp opened to your number.
Anyone selling an AI inside WhatsApp mixes the channels. Hostly does not. The AI does not pretend to be the owner on your WhatsApp. If the diner or the patient wants you, they write to you.
What a local business usually needs
- Hours and price, written in the profile, at eleven at night.
- A booking or an appointment if you turn them on: only times the engine has free.
- Inbox: you see the diner’s thread, the patient’s, or the shop customer’s.
- Switch the AI off when the place is full, or when you are serving yourself.
