The basics
What is heyslot.ai?
heyslot.ai is a receptionist for appointment-based businesses. It answers voice calls, WhatsApp and SMS conversations, checks your live calendar and books, reschedules or cancels appointments — day and night.
Who is it for?
Any business that runs on bookings: salons and barbers, spas, clinics, fitness studios, home services, restaurants, garages, consultants and more.
Does it replace my staff?
It takes the repetitive front-desk work — answering, quoting, booking and reminding — so your team can focus on customers in front of them. Anything sensitive is handed over to a person.
Channels & languages
Which channels are supported?
Voice calls, WhatsApp and SMS are live today. Instagram, Messenger, Telegram, web chat and email are on the way.
Can I keep my current phone number?
Yes. Forward your existing number to heyslot.ai — always, after hours or only when you're busy — or use a new number from us.
Which languages does it speak?
English, Arabic (including Gulf, Egyptian, Levantine and Maghrebi accents) and many more languages. Customers can switch language mid-conversation.
Setup & calendars
How long does setup take?
Most businesses are live in an afternoon. Connect your calendar, add your services and policies, choose your channels and test it yourself.
Which calendars can it book into?
Google Calendar is live today. Outlook, Calendly, Cal.com, Square Appointments and CalDAV calendars are on our roadmap.
Can it handle several locations?
Yes. Each location has its own hours, staff, services and numbers, all managed from one organization.
Pricing & billing
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Start with a free trial, then choose the plan that fits before it ends.
What happens if I go over my plan?
Extra voice minutes and conversations are billed at the clear overage rates shown on our pricing page.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. You can change or cancel your plan from the billing area of your dashboard.
Privacy & control
Are calls recorded?
Recording and transcripts are configurable per business. You are responsible for any notices or consent your local rules require, and recordings are only reachable through signed links.
Who owns the customer data?
You do. For your customers' conversations and bookings we act as a processor on your instructions.
What happens when a customer wants a person?
Your receptionist hands the conversation to your team with the full history, or takes a callback request if nobody is available.
One conversation, every channel
Can a customer start on a call and continue on WhatsApp?
Yes. With the caller’s consent and a connected channel, the receptionist can send booking details during the call using an approved WhatsApp template or SMS. A reply from the same phone number continues that customer’s conversation, including changing or cancelling the booking after confirmation. Your team sees calls, WhatsApp and SMS on one customer timeline. Delivery and reminders depend on your channel setup.
Does the receptionist remember returning customers?
Yes. Within your business, it matches their phone number across calls, WhatsApp and SMS, greets known returning customers by name and uses recorded conversations, upcoming and recent bookings, and saved preferences. It asks rather than assumes why they are back. Caller ID matching is the default, not proof of identity. Turn off customer history on calls in business settings for sensitive services; callers then get a neutral greeting and existing-booking questions go to your team.
Never miss a booking again.
Set up your receptionist in an afternoon. Connect your calendar, teach it your services, and let every call and conversation turn into a confirmed booking.
