The roster, today's bookings, who's on, what came in — one place, on any device in the shop. Run your real week on it for a fortnight. If it doesn't earn its keep, walk away and pay nothing.
No card to start. Nothing to install. Set up in about ten minutes — and nothing changes about how clients contact you.
The reception screen — today only, big enough to read across a counter.
A paper calendar, a whiteboard, a staff group chat and somebody's memory. It works — right up until it doesn't, and it always goes wrong on the busiest day. Every one of these has the same cause: the answer is in somebody's head instead of on a screen.
Asked five times a week, answered from memory, and wrong often enough to matter.
Everyone's week arrives at a different time in twelve separate messages, and you retype the lot into a roster.
Who knows. And what time are the rest of them getting in? Nobody can tell you without ringing the shop and asking.
Who knows — hopefully whoever was on the desk wrote it down properly. You find out at the end of the week, if at all.
Two people writing in the same calendar an hour apart. Somebody gets turned away at the door.
Adding the day up at 10pm off a page of scribbles, and never quite knowing what the week actually took.
DeskAI Light is our full shop system with the AI switched off. Everything here is yours from day one — you and your team do the talking, the desk does the remembering.
Today on one screen: every appointment, who's with who, what's been paid and what hasn't. Sits on an iPad at the desk and prices each booking off your own list, so nobody's doing sums in front of a client.
Set the week in minutes with custom hours per person. Your staff submit their own availability on their own page — no more collecting twelve messages and retyping them.
One tap as each person walks in, so from anywhere you can see who is actually in the building and who is still on their way — without ringing the shop to ask. Late and no-show clients get recorded against the booking too, instead of against somebody's memory.
Whoever is on the desk taps how it was paid as they take it, so the day adds itself up as it goes. No scribbled page to decipher at 10pm, and the month's numbers are already waiting for you.
Every booking reception takes lands in the calendar your phone already reads. Nothing new to check, nothing to keep in sync by hand.
What the week took, what each person did, how many people didn't turn up. Already added up, whenever you want to look — not a night's work with a calculator at the end of the month.
Name, address, hours, your prices and who works there. A short set of questions, one at a time — not a wall of settings.
Or send your team the link and let them put their own weeks in. Either way it's done once, not twelve times.
Take bookings on it for a fortnight against your real week. Your phone number, your clients and your routine stay exactly as they are.
The roster — your team's own availability, dropped into the week in a couple of minutes.
After your free fortnight. Cancel any week you like — there's no contract and no exit fee.
DeskAI's other half answers your texts day and night, books people in on its own and chases the enquiries that go quiet. Light doesn't include it, and we're not going to pretend otherwise. What matters is that turning it on later costs you no setup: your shop is already built, your roster is already running, and the receptionist simply starts working the week you've been running by hand.
No. Light doesn't touch your phone at all — no new number, no forwarding, nothing for your clients to learn. You keep answering the way you do today.
You decide. Keep going at $65 a week, or stop and owe nothing. We don't take a card to start, so there's nothing to cancel if you walk away.
The desk screen is built for whoever is on the front counter, not for an office. Big buttons, today only, three taps per booking. If somebody can use a phone they can use it.
Good — connect it. Every booking taken at reception lands in your Google Calendar automatically, so the calendar you already check keeps working exactly as it does now.
Yes, whenever you like. Your bookings, staff and client list are yours and you can export them. We'd rather earn the next week than lock you into it.
No. Salons, barbers, nail and beauty studios, tattoo studios and clinics all run on it. You tell it what you sell and it uses your words, your services and your prices.
Two weeks, your real bookings, no card, nothing to undo if you don't like it.
