Busiest hours: 10:00 to 12:00 and 16:00 to 20:00
Asking what time you open and whether there is time for a haircut before work.
Lunch-break questions: how much is a fade, is any barber free today?

What the agent takes off your hands
Books with the right barber
Sees in the journal which barber a regular goes to and offers a time with him, and for a new client finds whoever is free first. The booking appears in Altegio or DIKIDI right away, or in the built-in Solwees CRM if you have no journal.
Answers prices and services
Explains how a fade differs from a regular cut, what a beard trim costs and whether you cut kids’ hair. Prices come only from your price list.
Reminds and reschedules
Sends a reminder a day and a couple of hours before the visit. If a client can’t make it, it offers another time at once, so the chair doesn’t sit empty.
Hands the tricky ones to you
If a client is unhappy with a cut or asks for a discount, the agent does not argue and promises nothing itself. It hands the conversation to your front desk, who see at once what it was about.

Frequently asked questions
Does the agent answer in Kyrgyz?
Yes. It replies in the language the client wrote in: Kyrgyz, Uzbek, Russian or English. The language can change within one chat.
Where do bookings live?
If your journal is in Altegio or DIKIDI, the agent puts bookings straight into it and checks the barbers’ schedules there. Your client base can live in Bitrix24, and if you use none of these, the built-in Solwees CRM will do.
What if a client wants to walk in without booking?
The agent follows your rules: if you take walk-ins, it says so. It also offers the nearest free slot right away, so the client does not have to queue.
What if a client asks something the agent does not know?
The agent answers only from your prices, services and rules. If the answer is not there, it tells the client it will check with the front desk and passes the question on together with the chat.
Does it make sense for a small team?
Yes. In Sulyukta a business is often one or two people who serve customers and answer chats at the same time. The agent takes the chats over so you can keep working.
