How it works

Up and running in an afternoon.

  1. 1

    Tell BukdAI how you work

    Pick your profession and we fill in typical services. Adjust prices, how long each one takes, your hours, days off, and deposit rules.

  2. 2

    Get your booking number

    You get a dedicated local number. Put it on your Instagram, your card, and your door. Clients just text it.

  3. 3

    Clients text. You get booked.

    BukdAI answers, offers real open times, quotes your prices, collects the deposit, and puts the appointment on your calendar.

Features

A front desk that never takes a day off.

Books from your real calendar

Only offers times that fit the full service plus your buffer. No back-and-forth, no double-booking.

Collects deposits up front

Sends a secure payment link and only confirms once it’s paid. Money goes straight to your account.

Reminders that cut no-shows

Automatic texts the day before and a couple hours before every appointment.

Reschedules and cancels by text

Clients just text to reschedule or cancel. BukdAI follows your cancellation policy and reopens the slot.

Sticks to your prices and rules

It only quotes services and prices you set, and follows your policies. It never makes things up.

Questions owners ask

Do I have to change my phone number?

No. Keep the number your clients already know. Calls you miss can forward to BukdAI, which texts the caller right back and books them. You also get a booking number for anyone who would rather just text.

Do my clients need to download an app?

No. They text a phone number like they would text you. Nothing to download, no account to create.

What if the AI doesn’t know the answer?

BukdAI only answers from the services, prices, and policies you give it. If a question is outside that, or a client is upset, it lets the client know you’ll follow up and alerts you right away.

Can I jump into a conversation myself?

Yes. Every text thread shows up in your dashboard. Take over with one tap and BukdAI steps back until you hand it back.

How do I get paid?

Deposits and payments go through Stripe directly to your bank account. BukdAI never sees or stores card numbers.

What if a client wants to stop getting texts?

They reply STOP and they’re removed immediately, as required by carrier rules. HELP gets them your contact info.

Stop losing bookings to voicemail.

Give your clients an instant answer every time they text, and get your evenings back.
