Business assistant

The business assistant is a built-in AI chat interface for managing your business through natural language requests.

The assistant has access to all your business data and can perform actions across every area:

Category Example requests
Scheduling "Show me tomorrow's appointments", "Book John for a haircut at 3pm Friday"
Clients "Find the client who called yesterday about pricing", "Create a new client for Sarah, 555-0123"
Services "Add a new service called Deep Tissue Massage, 60 min, $90"
Staff "Who's working this Saturday?", "Add a day off for Mark next Wednesday"
Analytics "What's my revenue this week vs last week?", "How many bookings came from the website?"
Configuration "Update our Friday hours to close at 6pm", "Change the booking page slug to 'downtown-salon'"
Products "Add a product: Organic Shampoo, $24.99"
Calendar "Cancel all appointments for next Monday — we're closed"

The assistant is accessible in two ways:

  • Full page — Click Assistant in the sidebar for a dedicated chat view.
  • Docked panel — Toggle the assistant panel from the header on any page.

When you ask the assistant to modify data (create, update, or delete anything), it shows exactly what it plans to do and waits for your confirmation before executing.

For batch operations (like cancelling multiple appointments), it shows the full list of changes for you to approve or reject.

The assistant never changes data without explicit approval.

The assistant's responses can include clickable mentions of:

  • Staff — Click to see staff details
  • Services — Click to see service configuration
  • Assets — Click to see asset info
  • Clients — Click to see client profile
  • Products — Click to see product details

Your past conversations are saved in the sidebar. You can:

  • Browse previous chats
  • Continue an old conversation
  • Start a new conversation
  • Delete conversations you no longer need

Each plan has a daily message cap that resets at midnight UTC:

Plan Messages per day
Trial 500
Basic 150
Plus 300
Premium 500

A banner appears when approaching or reaching the limit, with an option to upgrade.

The assistant is created automatically when you first access it. If it hasn't been set up yet, you'll see a Create Assistant button — click it and the assistant agent is provisioned for your workspace.
