FrontDeskChat
The AI front desk for people who sell their time.·karenapp.io
FrontDeskChat is an AI front desk for people who sell their time, such as consultants, coaches, agencies, and lawyers. It meets every website visitor, answers their questions from the business's real prices and policies, screens them against custom rules, takes a deposit, and books only qualified visitors into the owner's calendar. It also reviews its own conversations weekly to propose fixes that the owner must approve before they ship.
