Where a workshop loses jobs today
The phone rings while you are under a car
In a small workshop the person who answers the phone is often the mechanic. Every call you cannot take is a customer who tries the next workshop on the map.
Bookings that ignore the lifts
A notebook or a shared calendar does not know that a clutch job takes a lift for a whole morning. Two jobs end up booked on the same lift, and one customer waits.
Empty slots and customers who forget
A customer who forgets the appointment leaves a lift idle for hours. Without a reminder the day before, nobody knows until the car does not arrive.
How it works
- Step 1
Connect your calendar and your number
Sign in with Google to connect Google Calendar, and forward your workshop number or take a new one. If you do not keep a calendar yet, the one that comes with your Google account is enough.
- Step 2
Describe your services, lifts and hours
Tell the assistant how long each job takes, how many lifts you have and when you open. It uses this to offer only slots you can really keep.
- Step 3
It answers, books and tells you
The assistant answers, takes the car's details and books the slot; you get a notice. A customer who asks for a person is passed to you with a reference.
From message to action
A message arrives after hours. The AI assistant replies and acts in your system; for example, making the booking.

Questions from workshops
Do my customers know they are talking to an assistant?
Yes. In its first reply the assistant says it is your workshop's automated assistant, and customers can ask for a person at any time.
Can I keep my workshop's number?
Yes. You forward your number to the assistant, always or only when you do not pick up, or you take a new number for it.
I do not use Google Calendar. What then?
Every Google account includes Google Calendar: sign in with yours and the bookings go into it, and you see them on your phone like any other calendar. It becomes your booking diary.
I already have workshop software. Does it connect?
The bookings go into Google Calendar. Where your software has a connection the assistant can use, it appears under «Works with»; if not, you keep invoicing in your software and use the calendar for bookings.
Does it give prices to customers?
Only the «from» prices you set for each service. The final price is always yours: the assistant says so and passes the question to you when a customer needs a quote.
What if I want to speak to the customer myself?
The assistant passes the conversation to you with a reference and everything the customer said, so you do not have to ask again.
Which languages does it speak?
It answers in the language the customer uses, among the languages set up for your workshop.
