How to automate bookings with AI

“I want to book a class” “I want to book a table” “Can I book for 3 people?”

Managing seamless bookings is crucial for improving services, but managing them can be an ongoing challenge. Give this responsibility to an AI assistant and you can facilitate real-time booking confirmations after each interaction, plus your teams can redirect their efforts into making bookings a great experience, rather than solely managing them.
