A WhatsApp chatbot powered by AI for spas and wellness centers schedules treatments based on therapist availability, recommends packages according to client preferences, sends pre-appointment reminders with instructions, and manages rescheduling. Spas that adopt AI agents increase operational capacity by 25-301 people without hiring additional staff and reduce no-shows by up to 501 people with automated reminders.
Use cases
1. Scheduling by service and therapist
Client: "I'd like a relaxing massage on Friday afternoon."
Agent: Filter therapists who offer relaxing massage + Friday afternoon + actual availability.
2. Package Recommendation
Client: "I need to relax for my birthday."
Agent: browses the package catalog and proposes the best one according to budget.
3. Reminders with instructions
24 hours before: reminder + instructions (no makeup, arrive 15 minutes early, what to bring).
4. Periodic recall
Client whose last visit was 30 days ago: "Are you interested in scheduling your next session?"
5. Gift cards and seasonal promotions
Mother's Month, Christmas, Mother's Day — targeted campaigns.
