BookAndGo's AI chat bot runs on Claude Haiku and has your tenant settings, services, and availability baked into its system prompt. That's enough to answer 'What services do you offer?' Out of the box it handles 70% of conversations.

What the other 30% needs

The stuff the bot can't guess: your cancellation policy, what to wear to an appointment, parking, payment methods, what to do before a first visit. All of this goes in Bot Custom Instructions.

Writing good bot instructions

Write them as if you're briefing a new receptionist. Short sentences, clear rules, no marketing fluff. 'We have free street parking on Beach Road. Payment by card or cash, no cheques.' works. 'Our commitment to customer experience is unparalleled' does not.

Tone settings

You can pick from Casual, Professional, and Friendly tones. Casual uses contractions and exclamation marks. Professional is formal and precise. Friendly sits in the middle — works for 90% of service businesses.

Training Vault (coming soon) will let you upload your existing FAQs, intake forms, and documents to train the bot on a richer knowledge base.
